3. James Gordon, Jr.
(DC Comics)
Sometimes, a character will be created and then forgotten about. A weird hole in continuity. Like, remember Commissioner Gordon’s infant son from Batman: Year One? What ever happened to him? Oh, sweet Jesus, are you going to regret asking that question.
James, Jr.’s young obsession with death drove his family apart and led him to be sent away for some time to get help. When he returned to Gotham many years later, he began to taunt his father before eventually confronting him face to face. He promised that his years away had allowed him to grow and to repress his more violent impulses, but this was anything but true.
Turns out that James, Jr. was now a fully fledged serial killer with a plan to turn all of Gotham’s children into remorseless monsters like himself. Batman was able to stop him, as was his adopted sister Batgirl a couple of times, but it leads to one serious question:
Wouldn’t the world be a better place if Batman had just let that baby fall off that bridge?
