Message: <blockquote data-quote="The Serge" data-source="post: 763260" data-attributes="member: 4049">The pre-Crisis Harvey Bullock was part of a conspiracy to get rid of Commissioner Gordon.  In the past, Bullock was fired by Gordon (he was inept and crooked) and he was rehired by Mayor Hamilton Hill (and/or Rupert Thorne) to cause havoc.  He was inept and a troublesome and one of his pranks resulted in Gordon suffering a heart attack.  Bullock, who never wanted to hurt Gordon, had a change of heart and sort of became an ally of Gordon.  So, while he was not as vicious as the Eckhardt-character in Batman: The Movie, the pre-Crisis Bullock was a crooked cop.The post-Crisis Bullock took years in real-life to show up as a Batman character.  In fact, I don't think the character really existed before the appearance of Tim Drake, the third and current Robin.  This version is a good, if rough and generally hygiene-challenged, cop who, for a while at least, wanted a tougher Batman.  In fact, he sort of liked the way Azbats was handling things during the whole Knightsquest thing.  The character was never fired by Gordon and was, in fact, highly respected and admired by Gordon, going as far as remaining in Gotham during No-Man's Land.  A totally different, relatively honorable character.</blockquote>
