5 Comic Book Candidates Who'd Make Good Presidents & 5 Who Wouldn't

2. Barbara Gordon

Barbara Gordon is too often overlooked. She's sensationally intelligent, handles pressure well, and is always up to any task and challenge. She's that restless, fiery spirit that's needed for a president, and she's certainly the only member of the Bat family capable of handling such a job. She spends hour after hour researching, learning, and analyzing the details of a specific event, she's well-learned, and her ability to make quick executive decisions easily puts her at the top of the list for potential candidates. Jim Gordon would certainly be proud, and Barbara wouldn't give him any reason not to be. After all, if she's got Batman's vote, what can we really say that makes her candidacy one that shouldn't be taken seriously?

Cameron Carpenter is an aspiring screenwriter, current film and journalism student, and self-diagnosed cinephile, which only sounds bad in certain circles. Devoted fan of comics, movies, theater, Jesus Christ, Sidney Lumet, and Peter O'Toole, he sometimes spends too much time on his Scribd and comicbookmovie.com, but doesn't think you're one to judge, devoted reader. You can follow him on Twitter to watch him talk to people you didn't know exist. Oh, and Daredevil is quite the big deal around here (my head).
