Ellen Yin

**Ellen Yin** (エレン・イン, *Eren In*), is both a fictional character and tritagonist of the *DC* series. She is a new transfer detective for GCPD who does things by the book. She initially had oppositions about Batman and aspires to capture and unmask him. Despite of Batman saving her life a few times, she still remains antagonistic. However over the course of the series, she slowly begins to have a grudging respect for Batman and eventually becomes his ally. In "Artifacts" she is mentioned as the future Police Commissioner of Gotham City, replacing a retired Jim Gordon.

"*While there seems to be similarities in appearance, and methodology. They have entirely different motives. However, it's too early to rule out any possible links between the Cat and the Bat.*"

## Notes & Trivia

* Though the character of Ellen Yin is largely original to the series, it appears that she, or at the very least her name, was likely inspired by the character Commissioner *Ellen Yindel*, from *Batman: The Dark Knight Returns*. Both displayed strong, anti-Batman beliefs at their introduction, and though never confirmed, it is implied that Yindel, like Yin, developed a certain respect for Batman, after seeing his heroics. It is also mentioned in the Time Skip episode, and likely a nod to the comic, that she became Commissioner.
* Ellen Yin bears a striking resemblance to Elisa Maza from Gargoyles, especially the maroon coat, black shirt, and jeans habitually worn by both.
