David Hull was the deputy mayor under Dickerson. He became the mayor of Gotham City after his assassination.
History
He pressured Commissioner Akins and Captain Sawyer to arrest the Killer Clowns, the Joker's former henchmen, and he threatened to fire Akins if he didn't make a public spectacle of the arrest.[1] He used his position to get his old friend David Cornwell appointed lieutenant in the Major Crimes Unit rather than the more deserving Jackson Davies.[2]
He approved of Batman, and when Akins had the Bat-Signal taken down following the events of Batman: War Games, he again threatened to fire him unless he put it back. In response, Akins reminded him of the active investigation into his Lexcorp-sponsored trip to the Cayman Islands and new home there, and Hull dropped the issue.[3]
