James "Jim" Gordon is a fictional character adapted for television by screenwriter Bruno Heller. He serves as the main protagonist of the Warner Bros. and DC Comics television series Gotham, portrayed by Ben McKenzie.
He is based on a character of the same name created by Bill Finger and Bob Kane, debuting in Detective Comics #27 (May 1939), though is most well-known as the supporting lead of the superhero comic, Batman.
McKenzie received a generally positive critical reception for his portrayal of the character, appearing in every episode of the series, and the novel Gotham: City of Monsters, set in-between the events of the second and third seasons.
