15. Batman (Jim Gordon)

Scott Snyder is a fantastic Bat-writer, and Greg Capullo draws comics like he was born with a pencil in his hand. So of course they created a replacement Batman I actually like!

When it appeared that Bruce Wayne died fighting The Joker in a cave under Gotham, the Gotham City Police Department decided that, one way or another, they needed a Batman in the city. So they tapped Jim Gordon to wear the Batsuit. Well, a new Batsuit. But, of course, Jim isn’t nearly as highly trained as Bruce was, so how does he compensate for his lack of skills? Well, with a batarang gun and a giant mech suit, that’s how.

And I’ll admit, it works. Like, if I were a criminal, I’d be pretty scared of the shadowy night demon who may or may not exist, but I would be TERRIFIED of the nine-foot police mech that could drop out of the sky and choke-slam me into a parked Audi at literally any moment.

Of course, everything eventually went back to normal, but it was fun while it lasted.
