| Full name | Sarah Essen |
| Team affiliations | Gotham City Police Department |
Sarah Essen, also asSarah Essen Gordon, is a character inDC Comics.
Appearing inBatman #405, part of theBatman: Year One storyline, she is a detective partnered with then-lieutenantJames Gordon.[27] A woman of German accent, her age is never revealed, but in Greg Rucka's novelization of "No Man's Land" storyline she is said to be 12 years younger than Gordon. Sarah's detective skills are shown during her attempts with Gordon to catch Batman, by guessing (correctly) that he is Bruce Wayne by virtue of his history and the money needed for Batman's arsenal. She and Gordon, who was married at the time, start a brief affair, but a corrupt CommissionerGillian B. Loeb attempts to blackmail them; Gordon ends the affair and confesses his actions to his wife Barbara. Sarah leavesGotham City forNew York City soon afterwards.[28]
Sarah returns inBatman #458 (January 1991), where it is explained that she had married a New York cop who was killed during a drug bust. Gordon had long since divorced and the two begin a serious relationship, resulting in Gordon's proposing to her on a night when the police station is under attack by a trio of supervillains with electrical powers. The two get married inBatman: Legends of the Dark Knight Annual #2 (1992).
When James Gordon is demoted by Mayor Armand Krol inBatman #519, Sarah is given the job in his stead. Gordon later resigns from theGotham City Police Department in the same issue. She takes on Gordon's collaboration with Batman andRobin, but does not like the job. Later, Sarah is fired from the GCPD by Krol, who is now "a lame duck" after recently losing in the mayoral election against Marion Grange. Essen is replaced as Commissioner by Andrew Howe, a close friend of Armand Krol. Grange later re-instates James Gordon as Commissioner and also re-hires and promotes Sarah to serve as liaison between the GCPD and the mayor's office.[29]
Sarah is murdered by theJoker inDetective Comics #741, at the end of the "No Man's Land" story arc. Her stepdaughterBarbara attends her funeral, feeling regret to call her as Sarah rather than Mom.[30]
In the post-Infinite Crisis continuity (as seen in flashbacks inDetective Comics #875), Gordon and Essen were married much earlier, when Gordon was still a lieutenant, and she had a more active role in raising her stepdaughter.
InThe New 52-rebooted DC continuity, Sarah's marriage with James Gordon never took place, even after theDC Rebirth event, but she returned in "Infinite Frontier" relaunch.
Sarah Essen makes cameo appearances inThe Dark Knight Returns.
