''Batman: Gordon of Gotham'' is an omnibus of three thematically linked limited series of four issues apiece. ''Gordon's Law'' follows Gordon seeking to bring some dirty cops to justice while receiving little support. ''Batman: [=GCP=]'' focuses on several prominent [=GCPD=] detectives working disparate cases. ''Gordon of Gotham'' is an origin story about Gordon's time as a Chicago cop and the events that brought him to Gotham. Each story follows normal cops investigating crimes committed by non-costumed criminals, while Batman only makes cameo appearances. The book is a SpiritualPredecessor of sorts to ''ComicBook/GothamCentral,'' which also features Gotham cops working cases without Batman.
