    Default Complete Mayors of Gotham City

    So some people here may find this interesting. I recently finished chronicling what I believe to be every appearance of a mayor of Gotham City in the mainline continuity comics. Some interesting trivia came to light such as the fact that Gotham's mayor during Batman's earliest days was apparently a Falcone. Here is the list, and I'm very interested to see if anyone knows of any others, especially in peripheral sources like RPG sourcebooks, novelizations, newspaper comics, etc. There are tons of unnamed mayors in the pre-Crisis era so I won't list all of them but they are in the post I will link at the end.

    PRE-CRISIS:
    • An unnamed caricature of Fiorello La Guardia from Batman #12 and Detective #68.
    • Carfax - Detective #121 and possibly other titles.
    • Bradley Stokes - Detective #179.
    • Sheppard - World's Finest #69 and seemingly Detective #277.
    • Taylor - mentioned in Detective #375.
    • Hayes - Batman #207 and possibly other titles.
    • Hamilton Hill
    • George P. Skowcroft


    POST-CRISIS + POST-FLASHPOINT:
    • Theodore Cobblepot - late 1800s (Gotham Underground, All-Star Western)
    • unnamed mayor killed by Court of Owls in 1914 - Batman and Robin #23.2
    • Archibald Brewster - Great Depression era (Daily Planet Guide to Gotham City)
    • Thorndike - killed by Made of Wood killer in 1948 (Detective 784-786)
    • Aubrey James - associate of Thomas Wayne (Legends of the Dark Knight 204-206)
    • Jessop - mayor shortly after the Wayne murders (Return of Bruce Wayne 5)
    • Falcone - Mayor during Year One mansion scene. Confirmed in script from Absolute edition + Secret Origins #50.
    • Wilson Klass - LotDK stories Prey, Heat, Infected, Idols, Duty; possibly Batman: Ego.
    • Hill - mayor during aftermath of Joker's debut; Batman Confidential #22-25.
    • Gill - Irresistible (LotDK 169-171)
    • unnamed man in Batman Annual #14 (might be Falcone)
    • Grogan - Two-Face Year One
    • unnamed man in Robin Year One (looks like Gill)
    • unnamed man killed in Gotham After Midnight
    • Charles Chesterfield - Gotham Knights #18
    • unnamed man in Huntress: Year One
    • unnamed man who is killed in Batman: The Cult
    • Donald Webster - Batman: The Cult and possibly Run, Riddler, Run
    • Julius Lieberman - Batman vs. Predator; possibly the unnamed man with different hair color in Detective 626.
    • Goode - Robin II, Annual 1, possibly Justice Society of America #1
    • unnamed African American man from Detective #648; possibly a miscolor of Goode.
    • Armand Krol - early-mid 90s
    • Marion Grange - mid-late 90s
    • Daniel Danforth Dickerson III - post-No Man's Land
    • David Hull - Gotham Central, et al.
    • Seamus McGreevy - City of Crime
    • unnamed woman referenced in Detective #817, possibly former DA Karen Willis
    • Sebastian Hady
    • Muir - Councilwoman who served as interim mayor in Birds of Prey Manslaughter arc.
    • Michael Akins - James Tynion IV's Detective Comics
    • Atkins - Batman vs. Ra's al Ghul
    • Dunch - James Tynion IV's Batman
    • Christopher Nakano - Anti-vigilante candidate who wins election in a landslide, according to solicit for Detective #1033.


    Well, that's all I've got. I think it's fascinating there have been so many and it was so inconsistent over the years. I like to imagine all ~three dozen of these mayors of Gotham being canon to Batman's current history. Anyway here is a four-part series I did with more details:
