Lieutenant^[1] Harvey Bullock was a top investigator for the Gotham Police Department who worked directly under Commissioner Gordon. Known for his love of food, he was still quite an effective cop in his own right, although probably not quite as effective as he would like to think he was. He didn't trust or like Batman much, even considering him a criminal at times, but has still teamed up with him to keep Gotham safe on numerous occasions.

[edit] History

Harvey Bullock joined the Gotham police in the early 1980's.^[2] In his days as a beat cop, he was partnered with Jonesy. They witnessed what would later become the Batman during a highway chase.^[3] Later, officer Bullock was assigned to the crime scene of the murder of John and Mary Grayson.^[4]

After a couple of years on the uniformed division, Bullock was transferred to Vice. He was tenacious in his apprehension of many drug dealers, including Vincent Starkey.^[2] His ferocity earned him a long dossier at Internal Affairs, however.

Despite Internal Affairs breathing in his neck, Bullock made it to the Special Crimes Unit. Now a Lieutenant, Bullock was known for getting results.^[5] He eventually found a partner in the slightly more timid Renee Montoya, who he had been working with a lot when she was still in the uniformed division. Some time later, he was given a new partner: Sonia Alcana.^[6]

[edit] Background information

In the DC comics, Harvey Bullock is considerably more competent than his DCAU counterpart. However, he is also more corrupt than his DCAU counterpart. Bullock regularly takes bribes and engages in police brutality, but is still dedicated to the city and loyal to Gordon, and his precinct will swear that he is an honest cop (honesty being a relative term in the GPD). His distrust of Batman is also present, though he has a better relationship with Nightwing over their love of old movies.
