Lew Moxon

Lew Moxon was the mob boss who hired Joe Chill to kill Dr. Thomas Wayne; however, Chill would end up killing Wayne's son Bruce instead, an incident which shortly thereafter led to Wayne's wife Martha having a mental breakdown.

Years later, Moxon was the prime target of the mysterious Batman's crusade. He formed a "Gotham reconstruction" plan with Alan Scott wherein they would work together to build new transportation systems and other infrastructure throughout the city. Moxon designed the effort to win himself massive popularity so he could run for mayor of Gotham City. With Batman in the way, they could get nothing accomplished becuase he constantly sabatoged their construction projects. This led Moxon to bring in several assassins from all over the country to kill Batman; however, Batman ended up killing most of them instead. One of the hitmen was able to beat up Batman severly in a fight (before Batman killed him too), allowing Moxon and his men to easily aprehend the Dark Knight. Green Lantern rescued Batman from being tortured to death by Moxon and put him in jail.

With Batman out of the picture, Moxon felt free to publicize his running for mayor; however, Superman broke Batman out of jail and the two continued the crusade against Moxon. While Superman distracted Moxon, his men, and the several superheroes such as the Atom, Green Lantern, Hawkman, and others that Moxon hired to be his bodyguards, Batman was finally able to procure solid evidence against Moxon. The crimes he committed were enough to earn Moxon the death penalty. He received the electric chair right after Batman revealed his identity to him to let him know why he had been so determined to bring him down.
