Commissioner Gordon

That's too bad because Gordon is such an important character to the Batman mythos it's unfortunate we can't complete our collections with a Gordon who resembles Neil Hamilton. At least we have a great comic book version of Gordon.

I think Hamilton's estate is largely nebulous too, so it's not known who the benefactor would be. It's a lot like Colin Clive.

^Yes, Neil Hamilton's estate didn't sign on as part of the licensing deal. It's why he's usually not depicted in Hamilton's likeness in the specific Batman '66 merchandise, comics, and animated features. Although Mike Allred snuck his likeness into the comics when he drew them.

Perhaps I have simply overlooked the character, but to my knowledge FTC never made a Commissioner Gordon figure based off his appearance in the Batman TV show from the 1960s. Is this correct? And, if so, why was this? Is it simply a matter of not being able to get the rights to the actor's likeness? Just curious.
