although being a long time Gary Oldman fan, i was initially skeptical of him playing Gordon-- Gordon was supposed to be a father figure to Bruce Wayne after his parents were murdered-- and Oldman i thought was too young and didnt have the look. although i still wish Gordon was slightly older (he comes off as a big brother than a father figure), i so totally take back what i said about the look. first time i saw a picture of Oldman as Gordon, i had like lock jaw or something, i couldnt believe the comic book version was now a living, breathing entity in the movies
