For the Earth-89 version, see Borg (Earth-89).
- "Across this nation the words "Gotham City" are synonymous with crime. Our streets are overrun, our public officials are helpless. As mayor, I promise to root out the source of this corruption... Boss Carl Grissom. Now, our new District Attorney, Harvey Dent... will carry out that promise. "
- ―Mayor Borg[src]
Borg was the Mayor of Gotham City when the first sightings of the Batman were being reported. Borg was hellbent on carrying on with the city's 200th Anniversary Festival despite the threat to public safety during that time.
Mayor Borg worked closely with D.A. Harvey Dent and Commissioner Gordon during this time. The goal was to put an end to the Grissom mob before the city's 200th birthday.
Borg was eventually succeeded by Roscoe Jenkins.
Behind the scenes[]
- Actor Lee Wallace strongly resembled the current New York Mayor during filming, Ed Koch. Koch ran for a fourth term in 1989 but lost to David Dinkins, which rhymes with Jenkins.
