#### The Altamont Investigation

Gordon also has an active role in the investigation against serial assassin Altamont, as well as investigating claims of corruption and evidence found connecting the assassin's victims with corruption, such as former GCPD police chief Damon Gant.

### Working with the "Batman"

Gordon is famous for cooperating with the vigilante superhero who calls himself the Batman, especially when working to apprehend several criminals, most famously The Joker. Whenever in need of the Batman's assistance, he would shine the 'Bat Signal' into the night-sky, which was situated on top of the Gotham City Police Department Headquarters.

In September 2018, the Joker was deemed responsible for the murder of incumbent state Governor Will Conway, as well as the kidnapping of Conway's wife, Hannah. The Joker refused to answer any of Gordon's questions regarding Hannah's disappearance, and claimed he would only respond to the Batman himself. As a consequence, Gordon called the Batman in to interrogate Joker, and allowed these two to be in a room alone with one another. Whilst this was a risky move, Gordon believed that this was the best chance of discovering Hannah's whereabouts.

Despite Gordon's right intentions, the move backfired. The Batman grew so angry regarding the situation at hand that he ultimately ended up murdering Joker within the interrogation room. Batman then fled the police headquarters, leaving Gordon to clean up the mess.

After what the Batman had done to him, Gordon became so infuriated, and in order to relieve this anger he attacked the 'Bat Signal' with a sledge hammer, completely destroying it. Many in the police force were furious that Gordon had allowed the Batman free access to the Joker, with many holding him accountable for the events that took place. Despite all of the good that Gordon had done within the police force, the vast majority of the police force called for his resignation as Commissioner of the Group Chat Police Force. As a result, Gordon bowed down to pressure and stepped down from his position. Despite this, he remained captain of the Gotham City Police Force, therefore keeping his job locally but losing it nationally.

## Personal Life

Gordon is a widower, being formerly married to his wife Barbara Gordon (neé Keane), with whom he had two children.

Gordon is also a former (and reformed) alcoholic.
