Brave, honest and ready to prove himself, the newly-minted detective is partnered with the brash, but shrewd police legend Harvey Bullock, as the two stumble upon the city's highest-profile case ever: the murder of local billionaires Thomas and Martha Wayne. Now, two weeks into his new job as a Gotham City detective and engaged to his beloved fiance, Barbara Kean, Gordon is living his dream even as he hopes to restore the city back to the pure version he remembers it was as a kid.
Growing up in Gotham City surrounding suburbs, James Gordon romanticized the city as a glamorous and exciting metropolis where his late father once served as a successful district attorney. GOTHAM follows one cop's rise through a dangerously corrupt city teetering on the edge of evil, and chronicles the birth of one of the most popular super heroes of our time. This is an origin story of the great DC Comics Super-Villains and vigilantes, revealing an entirely new chapter that has never been told. Before there was Batman, there was GOTHAM.
