John T. Gotham was the founder of Gotham City.
Behind the Scenes
- In Sam Hamm's script and even a Warren Skaaren revision for Batman, Mayor Borg announced the unveiling of a statue of John T. Gotham. The dedication ceremony is interrupted by the Joker. When the statue is revealed, instead of John T. Gotham, a large replica of Joker stands atop the pedestal.
- A large statue of Nicholson was made, but the scene dropped in re-writes and never shot. The statue was later painted and currently is on display at Planet Hollywood in New York.
