As a DC Comics editor for nearly a decade, Jordan B. Gorfinkel was front and center in a 400% growth of the BATMAN franchise, including an explosion of licensed products and the successful development of Warner Bros.’ BATMAN animated television series and film franchise. He masterminded “No Man’s Land,” which was serialized weekly in every mainstream BATMAN periodical for one entire calendar year and served as the inspiration for the acclaimed film “Batman Begins.” He also created BIRDS OF PREY, the longest running superhero comic starring women since Wonder Woman. BIRDS OF PREY was subsequently developed into the 2002 WB TV network series.
