James Dalton Trumbo (December 9, 1905 – ?), was an investigative journalist and secret crime-fighter.

Trumbo is widely thought to have secretly played the role of Commissioner Gordon (nonfiction) in many classic Batman (nonfiction) stories.

Trumbo and Alan Turing were life-long friends.

Trumbo delivered Turing's eulogy, and continued to champion Turing's name until his own disappearance some years later.

Trumbo and C. Wright Mills were widely rumored to have formed a crime-fighting team which secretly took down Murder, Incorporated (nonfiction).

His disappearance has been widely debated. Theories include:

Dalton was murdered for political reasons
Dalton faked his own death in order to pursue his goals under a new identity
Dalton took his own life in such as manner as to pursue his goals from beyond the grave
Dalton was not an investigative journalist and secret crime-fighter at all, but a non-fictional man named Dalton Trumbo (nonfiction)
