Hamilton Hill

Hamilton Hill is a supporting antagonist of the Batman franchise. He is a corrupt politican and associate of ruthless Gotham City-based gangland boss, Rupert Thorne who worked with him to become mayor.

Hill was an amoral public official who ran against rival Arthur Reeves, the latter attempting to use photographs of Batman to win, but Hill proved them to be fake and he would win the election. However, Hill is secretly in league of gangster Thorne who helped him become mayor. He assists Thorne in his efforts to kill Batman. Hill then hires a hitman to kill Harvey Bullock, but he survives so Hill shoots him himself, but Bullock survives. He then fires Commissioner James Gordon and re-places him with one of his corrupt cronies. After Batman beats Thorne and his corrupt police official is killed, he re-instates Gordon but blames the city's problems on Gordon to make his life miserable. Hill tries to get rid of Batman by accusing him of a crime that was actually committed by the Night Slayer. When Batman defeats Night Slayer and exposes Hill's plot, Hill is removed from office
