All That's Needed |
Rating : General Fandom : Batman Begins/Dark Knight All That's Needed Fandom: Batman Dark Knight (Nolan-verse) Rating: General Summary: Over the years, Jim Gordon has had a lot of partners. Disclaimer: I certainly don't own Batman, any part of the DC universe or the Nolan-movies. * * * Jim Gordon was a skinny kid with hair in his eyes. He had two younger brothers and a determination to show them the way the world worked. He played baseball with the kids next door and watched all the cop shows on television. * When Jim Gordon was a rookie, he was still skinny but he kept his hair out of his eyes. He didn't have time to play baseball anymore but it was alright because he'd finally joined the ranks of Gotham's finest. His first partner was a man named Hyde. Hyde made fun of Jim's new moustache but Jim didn't mind because that was how partners treated each other. * When Jim Gordon was a sergeant, he started wearing glasses. One of his brothers got a baseball scholarship in Metropolis and the other went back-packing in the U.K. Neither came home to Gotham. Jim found out Hyde was taking bribes. He asked for a new partner and got Flass. Flass was loud and obnoxious and corrupt but that was okay, because Jim never expected anything else from him. * When Jim Gordon started going grey, he hadn't played baseball in decades. His brothers wrote to him sporadically but he tried not to encourage it. He didn't want their return addresses falling into the wrong hands. He had a failed marriage, two kids and a promotion he hadn't asked for. He was still up to his neck in corrupt colleagues but at least he was no longer in over his head - an improvement, of sorts. He worked with a masked vigilante, who never took bribes or leaked operation details. He was harsh and intimidating and he disappeared when Jim's back was turned. The End |
