McFarlane Toys has expanded its DC Multiverse Deluxe Theatrical Edition line with Commissioner Gordon from Christopher Nolan's The Dark Knight trilogy. The 7-inch figure is priced at $34.99 and is expected to ship in September 2026.
Gordon joins Wave 5 of the Deluxe Theatrical Edition alongside a battle-damaged Catwoman from Batman Returns and a new Batman based on Robert Pattinson's 2022 portrayal. Pre-orders are already live through Entertainment Earth, BigBadToyStore, Amazon, and GameStop.
Gary Oldman's Commissioner Gordon has long been one of the most requested side characters in the Deluxe Theatrical Edition scale. Nolan's Dark Knight trilogy produced some of the most iconic live-action Batman imagery of the past two decades, but supporting cast figures have historically lagged behind villains and the Caped Crusader himself.
McFarlane's decision to finally produce Gordon signals the line is willing to round out its cinematic rosters rather than only chasing the most obviously marketable characters. That's a good sign for collectors hoping to see other Dark Knight trilogy side characters, like Harvey Dent's Two-Face or Lucius Fox, eventually get the same treatment.
The figure ships with a weapon, handcuffs, extra hands, a dossier accessory, an art card, and a display base. That accessory count is consistent with McFarlane's recent Deluxe Theatrical Edition releases, which have leaned into film-accurate props over generic add-ons.
The sculpt itself is built around Oldman's likeness from The Dark Knight specifically, not the earlier Batman Begins or later The Dark Knight Rises appearances. Collectors chasing a specific film-accurate Gordon should confirm this detail before pre-ordering if they're trying to match an existing display built around one movie in particular.
Deluxe Theatrical Edition has become McFarlane's go-to scale for film-accurate DC characters that don't quite fit the standard DC Multiverse line's more stylized sculpting. The sub-line has covered multiple live-action Batman eras already, and Gordon's inclusion suggests McFarlane sees real demand for building out full movie-accurate rosters rather than just headline characters.
Wave 5's mix of a hero, a villain, and a supporting character in the same release also mirrors how McFarlane has structured earlier waves, giving collectors a reason to pick up the full set rather than cherry-picking a single figure.
September 2026 shipping means Gordon should land in time for the holiday season, which is typically when McFarlane's DC Multiverse waves see the strongest secondary market demand. Pre-ordering now avoids the scalped pricing that's become common once popular waves sell through their initial allocation.
Retailers carrying the figure include general pop culture retailers as well as GameStop, so collectors have more than one avenue if a specific storefront sells out before shipping.
Gordon's release opens the door for collectors to build a genuinely complete Dark Knight trilogy display for the first time in this scale. Between existing Batman, Joker, and Two-Face releases across McFarlane's DC Multiverse catalog, a Nolan-era shelf is now much more achievable than it was even a year ago.
Sequencing your purchases around a single film era, rather than buying whatever DC Multiverse figure looks appealing that month, tends to produce a much more cohesive-looking display once everything arrives.
The most common mistake with Deluxe Theatrical Edition figures is assuming they're interchangeable in scale with standard DC Multiverse releases. While both are marketed at 7-inch scale, sculpting proportions can vary slightly between sub-lines, which matters if you're building a mixed display.
The second mistake is waiting past the pre-order window. McFarlane's theatrical waves have sold through initial allocations quickly in the past, and late buyers often end up paying secondary market premiums for a figure that was available at retail just weeks earlier.
Early reaction to the reveal has focused heavily on the accessory list, particularly the dossier prop, which few DC Multiverse figures have included before. That kind of unique, character-specific accessory tends to generate more pre-order interest than a generic weapon or alternate hand set would.
Forum and social media chatter since the reveal has also compared Gordon favorably to McFarlane's earlier supporting-cast releases, suggesting the sculpt quality is a step up from some of the line's older side-character figures.
Once Gordon arrives, proper display protection keeps the figure looking retail-fresh. The EVORETRO Clear Acrylic Display Case offers solid UV and dust protection sized well for a single 7-inch figure.
If you're building out the full Deluxe Theatrical Edition wave, the EVORETRO Acrylic Modular Case gives configurable sizing to display Gordon alongside Catwoman and Batman as a matched set. For a budget-friendly single-figure option, the EVORETRO Clear Acrylic Figurine Case works well too.
Is this the same Gordon design from Batman Begins? No, this figure is sculpted specifically around Gary Oldman's appearance in The Dark Knight, not the character's earlier or later film appearances.
Will Gordon be sold separately from the rest of Wave 5? Yes, each figure in the wave is sold individually, so collectors can pick up just Gordon without committing to Catwoman or Batman.
Does the figure include a display base? Yes, a base is included along with the weapon, handcuffs, extra hands, dossier, and art card.
Where can I pre-order the figure? Entertainment Earth, BigBadToyStore, Amazon, and GameStop all currently list the figure for pre-order.
Gordon rounds out one of the most requested gaps in McFarlane's Dark Knight trilogy coverage, and the accessory list backs up the $34.99 price point. With September shipping on the horizon, now is the window to lock in a pre-order before retailers see the same sell-through McFarlane's cinematic Batman waves have produced before.
