All I've seen the last few months... the last two nights... has challenged everything I ever believed in. It all comes down to one thing. Ethan. He was right. Gotham needs the Batman.

— Detective Ellen Yin

Ellen Yin is a detective with the Gotham City Police Department. She was one of the first allies The Batman made during his career.

History

Previously head of her department in Metropolis, Yin transferred to Gotham looking for new challenges.

Upon arriving in Gotham, Yin developed a difficult relationship with Batman in both his crime-fighting persona and his alter-ego Bruce Wayne. She swore to bring the Bat to justice and dismissed Wayne as a spoiled, arrogant playboy.

When her partner Ethan Bennett was transformed into the monster Clayface, Yin was disappointed to lose one of her closest friends. Yin and Batman eventually put their differences aside to try and bring Clayface to justice.

Upon the mission's conclusion, Batman gave Yin a communicator and the invitation to call him whenever he was needed. Keeping the commlink, Yin called Batman her "new partner".

When a mission to apprehend the the Riddler went south, Chief Angel Rojas stripped Yin of her badge. Rojas then used Yin as bait to recapture the Riddler in order to impress the new commissioner Jim Gordon. Batman helped Yin escape from Rojas' plot, and the two worked together again to take down the Riddler, Penguin, and the Joker. Impressed by Yin's hardwork, Gordon demanded that Rojas reinstate her.

In the year 2027, Yin became the new commissioner of the GCPD.
