Extra - Judge Carson Hilton

"Gotham City doesn't belong to people like us anymore."

Carson Hilton is a recently retired Gotham City judge.  During his time on the bench, he presided over many high profile cases, including those of Harley Quinn and Rupert Thorne.  He was set to preside over the trial of Harvey Dent, but recused himself, citing it as a conflict of interest. 

As a result of his often strict sentencing, over the years Hilton and his family have been targets of threats and harassment.  His family is very important to him and he has fought diligently to keep them safe, though at times has failed in that aim.

Hilton is a firm believer in justice by the book, and did his best to raise his only child, DA Veronika Hilton, to believe in the same.  He sees Batman as a dangerous vigilante in a Halloween costume, and finds Gotham’s reliance on him very disturbing.

Hilton would love to see Veronika successfully follow in his footsteps and has high hopes of her becoming the youngest judge in Gotham’s history.  He is always quick to offer advice in anyway he can, often stopping by her office under the guise of a social visit.  Veronika repays her father’s kindness by trying desperately to live up to his expectations of her, even if not always in the way he would prefer.
