Lt. Jim Gordon was a good cop, trying to take down Roman Sionis' criminal empire in a city of crooked cops. Unfortunately, during the blackout Sionis' and his men were eager to make their move, and when Jim tried to bring them down, he found himself betrayed by one of the GCPD's own. Caught, Sionis had Jim thrown from the Trigate Bridge. Since its construction, more than two thousand suicides were recorded from the bridge. Less than two dozen of those who jumped survived, and only then with severe internal injuries. On that day, though, Jim fell from that great height, and walked.
