The Gotham Chronicle is not too happy with the city's police department. That means you, Jim Gordon.

In this promo for the forthcoming Batman prequel, shared exclusively with Mashable, a newspaper covering the fictional city calls on residents to turn their backs on law enforcement, and instead, look to Gotham Chronicle for true justice. (For the record: journalists ≠ crime fighters.)

The preview will make its official debut this weekend at San Diego Comic-Con, airing in the back of Uber cars, which will be modified to look like Gotham City Police Department vehicles. Attendees at Comic-Con will also have a chance to get their hands on a limited-edition issue of the Chronicle .

On FOX TV series Gotham, Ben McKenzie plays a young Detective Gordon, who in the course of the series, will encounter a number of familiar faces from the comics, including the Penguin (Robin Lord Taylor), the Riddler (Cory Michael Smith) and a young Catwoman (Camren Bicondova). The show debuts in September.

San Diego Comic-Con starts Thursday, and runs through the weekend.
