James (Jim) Gordon
Starting off our list is Jim Gordon, the hard-as-nails cop of GCPD whose high moral compass gets him into more trouble than he manages to police. Modern representations of Gordon depict him as hellbent on stopping the masked vigilante from performing his own brand of brutal justice. Gordon and Batman had a rocky start to their relationship, but their mutual desire to rid Gotham of the uncanny upsurge of supervillains cemented their allegiance.
Jim Gordon is good in a fight, even taking up the Batman mantle in the recent The New 52 comic book series after Bruce Wayne’s apparent death. It appears that with age Gordon only gets tougher and grittier. He certainly belongs in this list of badass seniors, proving that for some, age doesn’t slow you down.
