Mayor Anthony Garcia was chosen to be personally assassinated by the Joker during Commissioner Loeb's memorial service. Lt. James Gordon pushed Garcia out of the way, and was struck in the back. For all of Gordon's diligent work, and as top candidate to succeed Loeb, Mayor Garcia appointed him the new commissioner in the MCU's jail.
Eight years after the death of District Attorney Harvey Dent, Mayor Garcia is rumored by a Congressman to be planning on retiring Commissioner Jim Gordon from his position in the force due to the peacetimes. Following Gordon's hospitalisation by Bane, Mayor Garcia attends a football game, where Bane initiates his "revolution" in Gotham, starting it by setting off a bomb in the private booth where Mayor Garcia and several other politicians were viewing the game from, killing all of them.
