Gordon's strongest role was in TDK, no doubt. Here..I don't know. He did a lot..but he had no arc.
Gordon had a mini-arc... he's given himself to Gotham as much as Batman... he gets shot, injured, he lost his family (they moved away), he's got nothing left... and the lie he is keeping a secret is tearing him apart... Batman returns, truth is revealed, and he can be content now.

Now when I think about it, if they had the time to spare in the film, I wouldn't have minded seeing a very short scene where we see Gordon reuniting with his wife and family.
That was never going to happen, between the end of TDK and the speech read out by Bane, it was clear that Gordon family was a major casualty of what went down in TDK.It annoyed me greatly that they mentioned Gordon's family leaving him and then didn't following up on that at all. I was expecting Gordon to go home at the end of the movie and find them waiting for him. That would have had me bawling like an infant.
I don't know. After how brilliantly they handled Gordon in TDK, I was massively disappointed with what little they did with him in this film.

Would have been nice if his family visited him in the hospital.
