As the plans for Arkham City became public knowledge, Commissioner Gordon, incensed at not having been consulted over Mayor Sharp's decisions, attempted to block construction with a court order.
He failed.
The Commissioner called on Batman and explained that he suspected corruption at the highest levels of Sharp's administrations.
After losing his case against Mayor Sharp, Gordon was summoned to City Hall. Sharp tried to reason with Gordon, explaining that Arkham City would be something they could both be proud, but Gordon held his ground.
Sharp calmly stated that he understood Gordon's position and expected Gordon to quietly resign.
Furious, Gordon stormed out. He might have resigned if he hadn't been talked out of it by Batman. Batman suggested attacking Mayor Sharp and Arkham City with a public campaign, headed not by Gordon, but someone with the money and profile needed to win popular support. Someone like Bruce Wayne.
