| Team affiliations | Gotham City Police Department |
Sarah Essen, also as Sarah Essen Gordon, is a character in DC Comics.
Appearing in Batman #405, part of the Batman: Year One storyline, she is a detective partnered with then-lieutenant James Gordon.[38] A woman of German accent, her age is never revealed, but in Greg Rucka's novelization of "No Man's Land" storyline she is said to be 12 years younger than Gordon. Sarah's detective skills are shown during her attempts with Gordon to catch Batman, by guessing (correctly) that he is Bruce Wayne by virtue of his history and the money needed for Batman's arsenal. She and Gordon, who was married at the time, start a brief affair, but a corrupt Commissioner Gillian B. Loeb attempts to blackmail them; Gordon ends the affair and confesses his actions to his wife Barbara. Sarah leaves Gotham City for New York City soon afterwards.[39]
Sarah returns in Batman #458 (January 1991), where it is explained that she had married a New York cop who was killed during a drug bust. Gordon had long since divorced and the two begin a serious relationship, resulting in Gordon's proposing to her on a night when the police station is under attack by a trio of supervillains with electrical powers. The two get married in Batman: Legends of the Dark Knight Annual #2 (1992).
When James Gordon is demoted by Mayor Armand Krol in Batman #519, Sarah is given the job in his stead. Gordon later resigns from the Gotham City Police Department in the same issue. She takes on Gordon's collaboration with Batman and Robin, but does not like the job. Later, Sarah is fired from the GCPD by Krol, who is now "a lame duck" after recently losing in the mayoral election against Marion Grange. Essen is replaced as Commissioner by Andrew Howe, a close friend of Armand Krol. Grange later re-instates James Gordon as Commissioner and also re-hires and promotes Sarah to serve as liaison between the GCPD and the mayor's office.[40]
Sarah is murdered by the Joker in Detective Comics #741, at the end of the "No Man's Land" story arc. Her stepdaughter Barbara attends her funeral, feeling regret to call her as Sarah rather than Mom.[41]
In the Post-Infinite Crisis continuity (as seen in flashbacks in Detective Comics #875), Gordon and Essen were married much earlier, when Gordon was still a lieutenant, and she had a more active role in raising her stepdaughter.
In The New 52-rebooted DC continuity, Sarah's marriage with James Gordon never took place, even after the DC Rebirth event, but she returned in "Infinite Frontier" relaunch.
Other versions of Sarah Essen
Sarah Essen makes cameo appearances in The Dark Knight Returns.

Loeb,[43] but in the second episode "Rise of the Villains: Knock, Knock", she is killed by Jerome Valeska, the leader of a gang of insane criminals named "The Maniax".[44] Unlike the comic books, Gordon and Essen have no romantic history in the show and their relationship is strictly professional.
