James Gordon Jr.

Born into the pages of Frank Miller and David Mazzucchelli's landmark Batman #407 in 1987, James Gordon Jr. carries one of Gotham's most storied surnames — and all the complicated weight that comes with it. A Copper Age arrival who has endured into the modern era, he's a figure who keeps genuinely compelling company, sharing stories with Bruce Wayne, Batman, Barbara Gordon, Catwoman, and Selina Kyle across titles like Batman: The Long Halloween - The Last Halloween and Batman: Legends of the Dark Knight. His debut alone grants him serious collector credentials, tied as it is to one of the most celebrated creative runs in DC history. For fans who love Gotham's human, street-level drama as much as its caped mythology, James Gordon Jr. is a name worth seeking out.
