Written by Greg Rucka, Ed Brubaker, and others, with art by Steve Lieber, Dick Giordano, and various artists, the story explores key moments in Batman's relationship with Commissioner Gordon across different eras of their crime-fighting partnership. The narrative spans from their early days to later years, highlighting the trust and tension between the two characters.
In "Chapter One: Uneasy Allies," Commissioner Gordon confronts the shifting landscape of Gotham’s war on crime, realizing that Batman’s methods—and his very presence—have changed after Bane broke his back. Written by Chuck Dixon and illustrated by Brent Anderson, with colors by John Kalisz and letters by Willie Schubert, this pivotal issue captures a turning point in their uneasy partnership. Tim Sale’s striking cover captures the tension between the two figures, as the line between protector and vigilante begins to blur.
In "Chapter Three: Casualties of War" from Batman: Turning Points, Batman and Commissioner Gordon navigate the fragile aftermath of Jason Todd’s death and the Joker’s brutal assault on Barbara Gordon, forced to rebuild their partnership amid grief and rising tension. The story captures a raw, grounded moment in Gotham’s darkest hours, where trust is tested and duty is redefined.
After Bane shatters Batman’s spine, Commissioner Gordon faces a painful truth: the Dark Knight’s methods have shifted beyond their shared code, leaving their partnership fractured. As the city reels from the attack, Gordon must decide where loyalty ends and survival begins.
