'The Dark Knight' Trilogy Star Gary Oldman Reveals Inspiration Behind Commissioner Gordon

Gary Oldman, the Academy Award-winning actor famous for films like Darkest Hour, Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy and The Fifth Element, had a supporting but memorable role in Christopher Nolan's The Dark Knight trilogy. In the three entries based on the DC superhero Batman, Oldman played Gotham City Police Commissioner Jim Gordon. As iconic as the character is now, it wasn't exactly an easy job for the actor because he was going through some personal issues when he made the first film, Batman Begins. He was inspired by Nolan's direction, but surprisingly, it was also jet lag that made Gordon the strong dramatic force standing between Batman and the chaotic city.
