Detective Harvey Bullock is a member of the GCPD, and although he was a good cop, he was willing to go outside of the system to get work done. Bullock became a small hindrance for Bruce Wayne during his time undercover in the Pact.

Biography[]

Harvey Bullock had joined GCPD around the same time as James Gordon, whom he had been closely associated with. Though able to become a detective, he was constantly passed down for further promotion due to his questionable methods of law enforcement and occasionally drinking on the job. At some point, Bullock was shot in the line of duty, leaving shrapnel in his shoulder was never extracted. He was also fitted with a pacemaker for an unspecified heart condition.

Batman: The Enemy Within[]

The Pact[]

Bullock had been active when the Pact launched their attacks on three different areas of Gotham. Like the rest of the GCPD, he responded to the attack on the Gotham City Brokerage, carried out by Harley Quinn. Bullock was placed in charge of the investigation and was later asked to pass on the information to both the Agency and Batman.

Fractured Mask[]

Bullock was later assigned to monitor the Riddler's hideout, though he had agreed to for desperately needed money. During his patrol, he caught billionaire Bruce Wayne breaking into the area. When confronting him on why he had done so, Bullock decided to call in for what he had discovered. However, he failed to notice one of Wayne's accomplices sneaking up behind him to knock him unconscious. Bruce will have the option of letting them knock Bullock unconscious, do so himself, or bribing him. If the latter is chosen, Bullock takes the bribe and leaves him to investigate. News of the actions would later reach Gordon, who used them as evidence to warrant an arrest for Bruce Wayne.

Same Stitch[]

The following only happens if "John Doe" has become the villainous Joker.

After receiving information about a van stolen by a group of clowns, Bullock, suspecting it to be related to John Doe and Harley Quinn, decides to follow the lead. Tracing the vehicle to Cathedral Hill, he witnesses the group, including Doe, pick up a drop, but is discovered by the felons. He is quickly ambushed and incarcerated, during which the clowns stuff a jack-in-the-box into his stomach. Left tied up, Bullock is discovered by the GCPD in the early morning.

Believing Bullock to be part of a twisted trap, the officers decide not to cut him down until Batman arrives. Using his cowl sensors, Batman is able to locate the jack-in-the-box and extracts it from his stomach. Following this, Bullock is cut down and receives medical aid immediately. After the ordeal, he requests to speak to Batman and tells the vigilante about what had happened. Bullock also confirmed that Doe had been with the group and points out a crate containing weapons, before taken away to receive medical aid at Gotham Memorial Hospital.

Personality[]

Not much is known about Bullock at this moment in time, but he seemed to be loyal to both Gordon and the GCPD. However, he was willing to take bribes and look the other way, despite knowing that it was not a good idea. Bullock was also very headstrong and would go into situations without back-up, but was also willing to share information when he knew it was important.

Trivia[]

  • Unlike his comic book counterpart, Bullock doesn't seem to hate Batman, even helping him if "John Doe"/Joker becomes a villain.
