Q&A With a Patron of Gotham City.

[Gotham Knight]

I get questions all the times via the PM system: "Hey, what's it like living in Gotham City?", well I'll tell you. It's rough. Although opposite of what most people say, things aren't worse than ever. Even back in 08 during the whole Joker fiasco, I don't think most citizens were that scared to walk the streets. It's one sick murdering nutcase among many in this city. The crime rates here have always been through the roofs, and that's just how it is.

Now don't get me wrong. When Batman showed up, things did get a lot better and it DID give us hope. Belief that change was coming, but we never really FULLY believed it. Even a few years before the caped crusader arrived, we had an astounding number of murders, robberies etc. Even that psycho Vic or Victor or whatever his name was, going around with a a liquid nitrogen tank back in 06 going around freezing people on the streets at random and breaking them in half. Yeah, that will put a lot of worry into the minds of anyone.

Still, one thing I can say about Gotham is the good people never lose hope. Even after the last fiasco, we still believe in our city and that's the best thing I'd say about living here. And it's why the common misconception that this is a bad place to live, sort of bothers me. I mean, there's crimes in every city. But there are a lot of good people that live here. And I wish people realized that not everyone is a Joker.

Anyway, if you have any questions feel free to ask.

[obin_gam]

[Gotham Knight]

so you live in chicago?

Of course. I thought everyone knew this by now.

Gotham is an alternate name for Chicago.

How's the falafels?

In one word? "Nice".

Why is Bruce Wayne such a tool? All the gossip columns say he's gay because all the hot models/actresses he takes "home" are driven to their hotels and he goes elsewhere. Why won't he just come out?

You can't believe those gossip columns like Gotham Inquirer. They just want to sell copies. Although I do find it odd how he's always hanging around this circus performer kid like he's Michael Jackson or something. But the news says he's just an orphan that Bruce has taken under his wing.

I honestly don't think he's gay.

 

[The Apocalypse]

How many times have you been inappropriately been touched by Joker?

 

[Brita21]

Hows the pizza?

 

[DarkSovereignty]

aside from the deep dish that is.

Is Poison Ivy as hot in person as she looks on the Internet and the TV?

 

[Gotham Knight]

How many times have you been inappropriately been touched by Joker?

0. Contrary to popular belief, Gotham actually does a good job of containing it's prisoners.

But to answer your question the closest I've come to contact with The Joker was when he interrupted a fund raiser that I sneaked into hosted by Bruce Wayne.

Hows the pizza?

Better than New York. Easily the best pizza I've ever tasted.

Is Poison Ivy as hot in person as she looks on the Internet and the TV?

Her elbows are too pointy for my liking. But I've never actually seen her in person.

Catwoman on the other hand... If she lost a few pounds I'd probably go out with her.

 

[KevanG]

I heard that Batman got his back broken at some point. Any news on that?

There were rumors about that a few months back when the city was on lockdown. But I also heard it from the same lady that claimed she overheard Bruce Wayne at a party or something one time, say that he watched a man die. So take it with a grain of salt.

 

[Shemtov]

What if I told you that Bruce Wayne is Batman?

 

[Piper Maru]

So did they repair all those bridges yet?

 

[KevanG]

What if I told you that Bruce Wayne is Batman?

And where did you get that idea? Dudes flakey sure but he's not some kind of ninja beat the hell out of everybody.

 

[Shemtov]

Typing in Bruce Wayne into wiki gets you rederected to Batman:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bruce_Wayne

And where did you get that idea? Dudes flakey sure but he's not some kind of ninja beat the hell out of everybody.

As an angry adoptee who has had to hide and suppress his anger, I know what it looks like - and Bruce definitely has a lot more going on than people may be aware of. I won't jump the gun. But, if I run into him I'd test my theory by seeing how he answers or avoids the question if he's batman.

 

[Shemtov]

The acrobat boy he hangs out with is Robin.
Have you ever seen Bruce and Batman together?
Weren't Wayne's parents murdered in front of his eyes? Weren't they going out of a theater showing a movie about a masked Vigilante.

 

[Gotham Knight]

What if I told you that Bruce Wayne is Batman?

One of my childhood friends always told me about his suspicion that Bruce is Batman. Not sure how he came to that conclusion. He said he looked into his eyes and saw it or something... It was a weird explanation he gave.

But I think it's a little far fetched and I wouldn't believe you.

And where did you get that idea? Dudes flakey sure but he's not some kind of ninja beat the hell out of everybody.

Exactly.

So did they repair all those bridges yet?

They're doing a good job fixing up the city. I've been volunteering to help out too. But yeah, the only important bridge that was blown that I know of(leads into and out of Gotham) has been repaired as it only had minor damage.

Exactly.
Also Superman is a reporter for the Metropolis Daily Planet- name of Clark Kent.

You think a billionaire playboy is parading around at night fighting crime? I'm sure that Batman who has a "no killing" policy, also admitted to watching a man die in front of a woman as Bruce Wayne? Because I'm sure someone with a policy not to kill watches people die all of the time.

This is assuming that lady was telling the truth. Although she had about as much credibility as you with such silly claims.

 

[Shemtov]

Wiki says Batman is Wayne. Typing Wayne's name into wiki redirects you too the Batman article.
