Jim Gordon (Earth 92)

"I chose to kill a man in cold blood. And it was the wrong choice. Crossing that line, you'll pay for it. Over and over again, like I have been. Like I still am. And it will make you more like the evil you're trying to fight. You need to be better."

- Jim Gordon to Bruce Wayne

James Worthington "Jim" Gordon is a male Human who is a SCIS Captain of the Gotham City SCIS Department. He is the son of the late Peter Gordon, the nephew of the late Frank Gordon, the best friend/partner of Harvey Bullock, the ex-fiancé/ex-lover of Barbara Kean, the father of Barbara Lee Gordon, the husband of Lee Thompkins, the uncle of Barbara Gordon, the ex-boyfriend of Valerie Vale and the ex-lover of Sofia Falcone. He started as a homicide detective within the SCIS. After being demoted to officer duty by the then-SCIS commissioner Gillian Loeb, Jim collected debt for Oswald Cobblepot to get his job back. He later murdered Theo Galavan, and afterward was framed for Carl Pinkney's murder by Edward Nygma. After escaping from prison and clearing his name, Jim decided against re-joining the SCIS and sought to solve the mystery of who was behind the Waynes' murders once and for all.

Later on, after being dosed with the "Red Queen" drug by Jervis Tetch, he went through a hallucinogenic experience which helped him come to terms with his past enough to convince himself to re-join the SCIS as a detective once again. After he was infected with the Alice Tetch virus, Jim was going to leave Gotham with Lee until Bullock convinced Jim to cure himself and Lee. When Penguin came up with a new license of crime, Jim looked to Carmine Falcone for help but actually ended up working with his daughter, Sofia. Jim is later promoted to the rank of captain after saving a squad of SCIS officers from Professor Pyg's trap.

After Gotham is reduced to a lawless no man's land by Ra's al Ghul and The Joker, Gordon remains with Harvey, Lucius Fox, and a dozen other SCIS officers to fight for the evacuated city. He activates a searchlight atop the SCIS, intended both to draw his enemies out of hiding and as a beacon of hope.

During the events of the No Man's Land crisis, Jim has a brief fling with his ex-fiance Barbara, which led to her getting pregnant. The subject of the pregnancy garnered conflict between him and Lee which was eventually put to rest when the two of them finally get married in a ceremony inside the SCIS.
