Rhapsodies

James Gordon is really one I hadn’t thought about. In a way, at least visually, he’s one of the easiest ones to do. But when you think about it, he’s also one of the hardest.

For the most part, I’m drawn towards Frank Miller’s version from both Dark Knight and Batman: Year One, The one good cop in a dirty and corrupt city.

This works better in comic books then elsewhere… I also watch the Wire.

A big city like Gotham isn’t a one-horse town for a sheriff to straighten out, and will eat the good cops with the bad.

Perhaps this is why Gordon turns a blind eye to a mysterious vigilante.
