Janet Surillo

Janet Surillo was a Gotham City Court Judge in the early 21st Century; she approved of Harvey Dent's crusade for justice and was willing to hear trial all the criminals pulled in by Gordon and Dent and many of them were stuffed into one courtroom, judged by Surillo. Mayor Anthony Garcia was angry at Dent's actions. Later on, her fingerprint was obtained by a henchman of The Joker and placed onto a Joker card given to Lieutenant Jim Gordon. This was to indicate who the Joker was targeting next.

Gordon dispatched a unit to Surillo's house and the two officers sent to accompany her were given an envelope with instructions for where Surillo should drive to. However, this had been tampered with and when Surillo got in her car and began to drive away, she opened the envelope. A piece of paper said the word "Up". Surillo looked up and her car exploded in a fiery car bomb. Dozens of Joker cards hidden in Surillo's car covered the street.
