The superhero Batman has appeared in many American comic books published by DC Comics since 1939, accumulating a number of recognizable supporting characters. The first Batman supporting character was Commissioner James Gordon, who first appeared in the same comic book as Batman in ''Detective Comics'' #27 (May 1939), and is Batman's ally in the Gotham City Police Department. Robin, Batman's sidekick, was introduced in the Spring of 1940, Alfred Pennyworth, Batman's butler, was introduced in 1943 and Barbara Gordon who was introduced in 1967. Batman also forms strong bonds or close working relationships with other superheroes, including Justice League members Superman, Green Arrow and Zatanna, as well as members of the Outsiders superhero team. Others such as Jason Bard, Harold, Onyx, and Toyman work for him. In addition, Batman has perhaps the most well known adversaries in fiction, commonly referred to as Batman's rogues gallery, which includes The Joker, The Penguin, and Two-Face, among others. ==Gotham City Police Department== (詳細はlimited series ''Batman: GCPD'' and the ongoing series ''Gotham Central'', in which they investigate the unusual crimes that plague the city, in a personal effort to minimize Batman's involvement. ''Gotham Central'' series ended its 40 issue run in 2006. The most important member of the GCPD within the Batman mythos is James Gordon, the police commissioner of Gotham City. Appearing alongside the main character in his first appearance, Gordon was the first Batman supporting character. Batman has a strong (though secret and unofficial) working relationship with him. Gordon, like other characters, has changed considerably over the years. Of particular note, is that in the early days of the characters, Gordon was not allied with Batman, and was more antagonistic towards him. However, he was a friend of Bruce Wayne.〔 In "Batman: Year One", Gordon is portrayed as one of the few honest, non-corrupt Gotham cops. During "No Man's Land", Bruce offered him the knowledge of his secret identity, but Jim (still angry for Batman's early abandonment of Gotham in the days near the beginning of NML) refused to look and find out, hinting he may already know. Jim retired several months after NML, but returned to duty in the One Year Later storyline. Other members of the Gotham City Police Department have played prominent roles in Batman's extended 'family.' A notable example is Renee Montoya, a character who was added into the comics in the 1990s as a character adapted from the animated series.〔''Batman: The Animated Series'' episode 1x5, "Pretty Poison"〕 She later quit the GCPD when her partner Crispus Allen was murdered and the man responsible got off, in addition to her sexual orientation being unwillingly outed. Following this she became a main character in the ''52'' limited series. Renee, who eventually took on the mantle of the Question, occasionally fights crime with the current Batwoman, who is her on-again-off-again lover. In the New 52, Renee has yet to appear, though she has appeared in an image viewed by Kate Kane on the GCPD's wall of honor. Jason Bard is a cop from Detroit hired by Jim Gordon and put into the MCU. He later helps Batman escape from a trap of GCPD led by the corrupt new Commissioner Jack Forbes. Prior to the New 52 reboot, he was originally introduced as a private investigator hired to be Batman's daytime liaison in the "Face the Face" story line, and later worked for Robin during the outbreak of a gang war in Gotham City. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「List of Batman supporting characters」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
