Fan Casting Guardian in Return to the DC Universe

Jake Jordan was an unemployed and disgraced former police officer, who left the force after killing a young boy he misidentified as the murderer of his partner. On the suggestion of his fiancé's father Larry, Jake applied for a mysterious job at the Manhattan Guardian tabloid newspaper, eventually becoming its own superhero reporter. Using a shield used by the original Guardian, then meeting the now retired Jim Harper, Jake has become the successor to the Guardian name.
