Lieutenant Jack Forbes worked for Internal Affairs in the Gotham City Police Department.

History

Eventually being promoted to Major, Forbes had to arrest James Gordon after an incident in Gotham subway killed hundreds. Following Gordon's arrest, Forbes met with Mayor Hady and Carmine Falcone who tested him to see if he could be corrupted. Forbes missed the days when the police were treated like kings and costumed criminals were gunned down so he agreed to work for Falcone. As Maggie Sawyer prepared to lead a team to stop Falcone's men hitting The Penguin's weapon caches, Forbes ordered them to stop, followed closely by Mayor Hady who told them that Forbes was the acting Commissioner in Gordon's absence. Forbes then told the rest of the department that the biggest problem that needed to be addressed was Batman .
