Chapter 7: Commissioner Gordon
Prologue
The James Gordon of the alternate universe was proclaimed dead by the forces of the Regime. However, in the other universe, after Commissioner Gordon witnessed the heroes being transported to another universe, he was caught in the act and finds himself a wanted criminal by Superman's Regime.
Having no superpower or other skills that may protect him other than his skills in combat and being a professional gunslinger, Gordon must do all in his power to assist the heroes in stopping Superman.
In the Gotham City Alleyway, Commissioner Gordon is seen walking up in the scene carrying two handguns and an AK-47 that is strapped on his back, wearing his police uniform that read the words G.C.P.D. on the front. He turns to face the opponent before loading his pistol.
GORDON: You are under arrest!
As Gordon gets into his battle stance, on other side, a swarm of bats are gathering in the air until they dispel and Batman is seen coming out of them. He falls to the ground but lands perfectly. He looks up at his opponent in a non-verbal attitude and readies himself for battle.
The fight begins.
Batman makes his first move by sliding through the ground to attack Gordon. Unfortunately for Batman, Gordon guards against the attack. As Batman gets back up, Gordon delivers two crosses to the face, followed by a knee strike to the gut and jumping into the air, delivering the heel of his boot to the top of his head, forcing him to the bounce from the ground and into the air. Gordon quickly shifts to the other side to continue. Gordon performs a lower punch and uppercut to a mid-air Batman, before grabbing a shotgun out of nowhere and shooting Batman to a faraway distance.
Batman gets back up and shooting his bola at Gordon, but he guards against it. Gordon comes rushing in with a shoulder strike that connect Batman and stuns. He uses this opportunity to continue with a combination by performing two crosses and grabbing the shotgun that he uses to shoot Batman again. However, instead of blasting Batman away, Gordon uses a double shot that knocks Batman higher into the air. He grabs his handgun to shoot Batman before quickly backing away, turning around and delivering an elbow strike that sends Batman to the gasoline truck.
As Batman is pummeled through the tank of the truck, it suddenly explodes and it sends the Gotham Knight flying, colliding into a building, an electric sign, a gargoyle, and finally crashing through a water tower that busts by the collision. He lands on the rooftop of a building but rolls along the way. He is unable to get back up, meaning he lost the first round.
Gordon comes to the scene and grabs his AK-47.
GORDON: This needs to stop! Surrender!
Batman gets back up to continue the match. Batman makes a quick attack by performing a supermove. He grabs his Batarang and throws it on the ground, causing a cloud of smoke to impair Gordon's vision.
As Gordon is dazed by the smoke, Batman grabs his tasers and stuns him on both sides of his neck, following it with a knee strike to his chin. Batman grabs another batarang and throws it to Gordon's face, leaving him staggered again. Eventually, a motor and wheels are heard and Batman jumps into the air as the BatMobile comes into view. Once Gordon turns to Batman's direction, the speeding vehicle hits him, causing the police officer to fly into the air and land on the ground on his back.
BATMAN: Don't get up!
Gordon is unable to get up, giving Batman the second round. Batman celebrates, sort of, by throwing a batarang.
BATMAN: Try again!
As the batarang comes back to Batman, Gordon gets back up to continue the fight. Gordon delivers multiple shots to Batman until he calls for a wager.
BATMAN: I thought you were dead...
GORDON: I'm not the same James, Batman.
The two run to each other, with battles cries, and strikes at each other as a bright light engulfs them both. The light vanishes away and Gordon is flown back while Batman is still standing, meaning Gordon was outwaged.
As Gordon gets up, he uses this chance to perform his supermove. Batman slides across the floor until Gordon immobilizes him with a taser that extends towards his chest. After shocking Batman for a few seconds, Gordon runs towards Batman and delivers a devastating right cross to the face, followed by a left roundhouse kick to the gut. As Batman is slightly disoriented, Gordon grabs his machine gun and delivers multiples shots to Batman were probably enough to kill him. After the last round, Batman falls to the ground as Gordon puts away the gun.
GORDON: I am sorry for my police brutality!
Batman gets back up but falls to one knee in defeat.
Gordon picks Batman up from the ground and handcuffs him.
GORDON: You have the right to remain silent! Anything you say or do will be used against you in the court of law! If you...
The two leave the scene together as Gordon continues to give his opponent's their Miranda rights.
Epilogue
All heroes who have fought against Superman or tried to protest against him did not succeed and some did not come back alive. However, this didn't mean that any civilian heroes wouldn't be able to overwhelm him. A police officer, Commissioner Gordon took on the Man of Steel himself, despite being a mere human, and ultimately defeated him.
Though not from this universe, James took him in to the police force to punish him for his crimes, but his mind was heavy when he learned that his alternate self was killed by the Regime. It was then that he thought about Barbara, his daughter. She must've been seriously devastated and troubled by this. Before he left, he decided to spend some time with his alternate daughter and give her some reminder of her time with her father. The two enjoyed their company and James felt as though he had accomplished something, both in battle and parenthood.
A/N: Much thanks belongs to The Valedictorian for insisting that this chapter should be about Gordon! Well, actually, he gave me suggestions of The Penguin, The Riddler, and Gordon, but since the latter didn't have a single quality of combat, why not use Gordon? He may not have superpowers but he is capable of protecting himself. But once again, thank you The Valedictorian! Also, for those questioning Gordon's victory pose, I was kind of in a Law and Order mood. I can't remember most of the Miranda Rights, but I know a good few.
So, as for him being kind to give me that suggestion, the next chapter will be on him. Before I start his chapter, I would like to address his power. The Valedictorian is capable of materializing different parts of his body into different metals or elements such as rock, stone, granite, silver, lead, metal, steel, brass, copper, etc. He is also capable of manifesting and summoning different types of metals and elements into his hand. Sometimes, he is capable of producing heat from the metal he summons, although this puts him in a disadvantage when facing against Killer Frost.
