HISTORY

Former Chief of Police in Gotham City, Akins was been chosen to replace James Gordon as the city's commissioner, a position he kept until Gordon's return. Akins is respected as a police officer, though not by the whole police department, some of whom regard him as too much of a politician for his own good. He has a tense relationship with Batman, because he recognises that the vigilante is needed in Gotham, but wishes fervently that he wasn't.
