Commissioner James W. Gordon
Commissioner of the Gotham City Police Department (first appearance: Detective Comics No. 27, May 1939: "The Case of the Chemical Syndicate"). He is Batman and Robin's link to the police and summons the Caped Crusaders either by the Bat-Hotline or Bat-Signal. His daughter Barbara Gordon is the costumed hero known as Batgirl.
He is also one of Superman's most valued allies as evidenced by intergalactic gamblers Rokk and Sorban's high regard for him in "The Super Gamble with Doom!" (WF No. 150, Jun 1965).
