  James Gordon (comics) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
When Gordon needs to summon Batman, he uses the Bat-Signal, a specially modified Klieg searchlight with a stylized symbol of a bat placed on it so that it projects a large emblem shaped in Batman's bat insignia on the sky or buildings of Gotham City.
In the original comics and in the 1990s Batman: The Animated Series and its spinoffs, Gordon has a daughter, Barbara, who, unbeknownst to him, fights crime as Batgirl; in the current comics, she is his niece-turned-adopted-daughter (though it was revealed that he may actually be her biological father as well).
In the 1990s cartoon Batman: The Animated Series, Gordon is voiced by Robert Hastings, and his relationship with Batman was similar to that in the comics, with the alliance largely kept between Batman, Gordon, and Harvey Bullock.
