I'm glad that they finally showed what happened, because I had been imagining scenarios since I saw "Touch of Curare", the episode in which Barbara admits to Terry that her and Bruce had a relationship. On the special features of B:TAS Volume 3, Bruce Timm said something to the effect of "We knew we were going into untouched territory when we hinted that Bruce and Barbara had a relationship, and a lot of the fans complained that it was wrong, but that was the point, it was supposed to wrong." I've always been glad that they did that as it added new elements to the Bat family. I always figured the the final rift between Batman and Nightwing somehow involved Barbara. It had been hinted at in "Batgirl Returns" that she had a thing for Batman during that opening dream sequence. Then, when we jumped into the revamped episodes there were times when Barbara tried to get back on Nightwing's good graces ("Chemistry") but was ultimately denied, so dikk has nobody to blame but himself for that one.

It's heavily implied Gordon eventually found out with this one quote from Return of the Joker:
"We buried the Joker deep beneath Arkham, The only other person who knew what happened that night was my father, the first Commissioner Gordon. He promised to keep our secret." - Barbara Gordon
He had to have known after that. I don't think there was anyway around it. It was heavily implied in the episode "Over the Edge' that he knew Barbara was Batgirl anyway...
"Sweetheart, you're capable of making your own decisions. You don't need me to approve or even acknowledge them. And in this case, I can't. All you need to know is I love you. All of you. (kisses her) And that is all I have to say on the subject." - Jim Gordon
That whole incident at the run down Arkham with The Joker really fukked Bruce up. He sent Tim off to get help from Leslie Thompkins and forbid him from becoming Robin ever again, had a fall out with the Justice League, Bruce's wound from the knife in the knee fukked his leg up eventually, who knows how Alfred's health was doing during this time, and this incident haunted Bruce forever (as seen in "Epilogue" which is set a few decades after Batman Beyond).
When it rains, it pours. Even in death, The Joker won, brehs.

Paul Dini said he wrote that or it was written (if it wasn't him) with the mindset that Gordon knew but didn't want to say anything to her about it. Like he'd rather not know but he knows
jim gordon knows everything.

Manipulation got meHe did, too. Such a DOPE dynamic that played out in the semi-background. That ep where dikk was explaining to Tim how they broke down - and he laid OUT the GAWD in one right hook
It's real on them Gotham rooftops, brehs

Yeah, he knows who all of them are but he can't acknowledge it because it'd put him in an uncomfortable legal position.
Basically if he admitted to knowing who Batman was, he'd be legally obligated to arrest him. So he doesn't acknowledge that he knows.
Ya'll think he hit wit the mask on? 
?Ya'll think he hit wit the mask on?
Bruce Wayne is the mask he shows to world. The Batman is his real face.
