[edit] History

Ellen Yin was the partner assigned to detective Ethan Bennett in the animated series The Batman. Their job was to capture the Batman and unmask him. She is shown to be fond of her partner and is Chief Angel Rojas favorite PD person. Yin is as physically adept as any male cop she knows. Previously head of her department in Metropolis, she transferred to Gotham City looking for a challenge. She's a career cop at the top of her game, simple and by the book. Not warming to Bruce Wayne so easily, Ellen doesn't have it out personally for The Batman. As a vigilante, he's breaking the law. Not seeing past his swinging billionaire persona, she despises his seemingly silver-spoon arrogance.

When her partner and friend Ethan Bennett is transformed into Clayface, Yin loses one of her best friends in the city. Before she and The Batman parted ways when they fought Clayface, The Batman handed her a commlink, telling her to call him whenever she needed. Keeping the commlink, Yin calls The Batman her new "partner" during a coffee shop meeting with Ethan's best friend, Bruce Wayne.

After she receives a Batwave from Batman, the two work together until Night and the City, where her Batwave was taken by Rojas, her badge confiscated. It was returned by Commisioner James Gordon at the end of the episode, and she was promoted.
