There is, variously:
- Multiple Lazarus pits that are likely leaking into the water supply.
- The other magic resurrection place, Slaughter Swamp.
- A evil bat god (Barbatos) sealed in Gotham.
- The Hell portal under the Asylum.
- The Court of Owls secretly Illuminati’ing the place up.
- Dr. Gotham, an evil warlock who was sealed under Gotham for millennia, radiating evil.
- I wouldn’t be surprised if there was more then one company dumping shit into the water supply just to dodge having to pay to dispose of it properly, but compared to magical evil of varying degrees, it’s kind of a non-starter on the “This is why folks are nutso” chart.
I do love how Clock King’s power is basically just weaponised autism. Memorising train timetables and factoring in expected delays to services to properly time his getaway in the middle of a fight is pretty iconic tbh.
I just use the Transit app, but, then again, I’m not fighting (nor fleeing) Batman.
“nyhahaha your to late batman! I have the transit app”
looses lte internet
“Shit, shit shit NOO BATMAN PLEASE AGHHGHGGGG”
People are just tired of Batman’s sanctimonious bullshit. Fucking invest your billions in the city and get all the other wealthy fucks to do the same. Turn Gotham into a utopia of opportunity and learning. Create a period of Renaissance. You have thousands of millions of dollars.
Most crime is a function of economic disparity, not intrinsic human nature.
batman has already done all of that. gotham is legitimately cursed tho
What would happen if you nuked the city? What if communist aliens try to help the city be rebuilt?
i think if the city got nuked the demon trapped under gotham would emerge and take over the entire world. or something
