Batman: Death of the Family Motion Comic Episode 1
dirkmcelyea for James Gordon
A man in his late 50's, James Gordon is the honest cop who changed the police force from complete corruption to...mildly corrupt. As Gotham Commissioner, James allows Batman and his family to provide much needed help to Gotham PD.
As for voice, I would like Gordon to sound like an actual older man. Gary Oldman from the Dark Knight films is nice example. Doesn't need to be an aggressive voice. Gordon yells at some points during the 5 parts of Death of the Family so please be prepared for that.
(An opening monologue, where Gordon is making up what reporters and people would write in the papers about how the police treated the 'bad omens' before the next big crime. A hypothetical speech. But he says it somewhat slow and deliberate.)
'In hindsight, there were signs... Omens of the terrible things to come. The first one came with the rains...
With the early snows blocking it's mouth, the rains flooded the Gotham River, actually reversing its course for three full days.
The second sign came soon after. A lion at the Gotham Zoo gave birth to a deformed cub. A cub with two heads.
Rivers running backwards. Beasts born wrong... We should have seen it coming
(Joker shuts power off to the GCPD, leaving it in darkness. Gordon and his officers are being picked off one by one. Gordon is frightened, angry. Gordon finds his flashlight. Please watch the video to make sure your acting matches the drawing) 'SHOW YOURSELF, you monster! (aims flashlight) wha-where...'
(Batman and Gordon have a small meeting before Gordon has to get back to protecting Mayor Hady. Gordon then asks if Batman can sense the fear Gordon is trying to hide) Hmm... All right, I'm going to get back.... (clears throat) Uh, It...it doesn't show on me, does it? You can't...hear it, I mean. In my voice?
