Jim Gordon has always been the shining light of Gotham City, the example of how to be a good man in an evil city. However, it looks as though the champion of justice is getting in bed with the devil, as Jim appears to be joining the Court of Owls.
Frank Gordon, Jim’s uncle, has been telling him all of the family’s secrets over the past two episodes. It was revealed that both he, and Jim’s father, were a part of the Court, and that they were the ones responsible for Peter’s death.
Just before Frank took his own life, he told Jim that he was the only one who would finish his father’s work, and take down the Court from the inside. He gave Jim instructions on how to reach Kathryn, and that he needed to join the Court of Owls himself.
As the episode ended, Jim got a call from Kathryn. He agreed to speak with her about the Court, hung up the phone, and turned to see a limo already waiting for him. The last thing seen in the episode was Jim getting into the car, implying he would get involved with the Court.
Jim could just be meeting with Kathryn, but his conversations with Frank make it seem like he will be donning a white mask in the near future.
His next steps will be revealed on next Monday’s new episode of Gotham, ‘Heroes Rise: The Primal Riddle’.

In crime ridden Gotham City, Thomas and Martha Wayne are murdered before young Bruce Wayne’s eyes. Although the idealistic Gotham City Police Dept. detective James Gordon, and his cynical partner, Harvey Bullock, seem to solve the case quickly, things are not so simple. Inspired by Bruce’s traumatized desire for justice, Gordon vows to find it amid Gotham’s corruption. Thus begins Gordon’s lonely quest that would set him against his own comrades and the underworld with their own deadly rivalries and mysteries. In the coming wars, innocence will be lost and compromises will be made as some criminals will fall as casualties while others will rise as supervillains. All the while, young Bruce observes this war with a growing obsession that would one day drive him to seek his own revenge as The Batman.
