Some stories seem to place Gordon on an even higher moral grounds than Batman himself. I was reading The Long Halloween, which as we all know involves the fall of Harvey Dent, and in the beginning of the story, Bruce says "I believe in Harvey Dent." Later on, he also says "I believe in Jim Gordon." We all know he was wrong with Harvey, so it got me thinking, is there any set of circumstances that could also result in Gordon's corruption?
Of course the difference between a "good guy" and "bad guy" is up to interpretation; for example, Batman breaks laws, but we know he's a good guy. So for the sake of this discussion let's set the bar at Harvey Dent. I believe that whatever happens, Bruce Wayne will never ever be a worse person than Two-Face. So, is there anything that could result in Gordon being another Two-Face?
Bonus question: IF Gordon WERE to corrupt and adopt the identity of a super villain devoted to both bringing down all mafia/supervillains in Gotham by any means and also destroying Batman, how effective would he be?
