Gothamites are the most unserious people ever. They put crime lords in their happy meals.

Jason Todd Is Right
Trigger Warnings: mentions of k*lling, mentions of corruption/government corruption,
Jason Todd is right and even a lot of Jason fans don't seem to accept/realize that.
The problem is that a lot of people think about Jason and his stance on killing based on how the real world works rather than the one in which Jason exists. Because Gotham can NEVER be rid of crime and corruption. It it was, Batman would no longer be needed and that wouldn't sell.
Jason is right that Batman will never be able to eradicate crime completely. But controlling it is possible.
He's also right that the joker should be killed but that's a post of its own.

FAQ
Q: How many mods run this account?
A: There are three of us, although we have been told by our supervisors that Oracle can and will send alerts through us. To talk to us, say one of our names, “Maxi”, “Samuel”, or “Rusty”, if you want to talk to one of us specifically, or “Mods” or “the Mods” if you don't care who answers.
Q: Do any of you have specialties?
A: Rusty knows the most about the vigilantes and their histories. Samuel supposedly knows the most about the rogues, although he's never had to prove this. Maxi proofreads most posts and knows the most about mundane aspects of living in this city.
FAQ continued under the cut (OOC information at the bottom)
Q: Mod pronouns?
A: Mod Maxi uses she/her, Mod Samuel uses he/him, and Mod Rusty is genderfluid and won't care.
Q: Do we report villain or vigilante sightings to you?
A: You can, but you should probably send them to BatWatch or a crisis line. Since there are only three of us, we aren't on 24/7 like the crisis lines.
Q: Do I report it if I saw Batman and Catwoman making out on the roof?
A: We've seen that, everyone has seen that, please stop sending us pictures.
Q: Do I report it if I see heroes or vigilantes that do not live in Gotham?
A: Like BatWatch but unlike the crisis lines, we have filters for out of towners.
Q: Red Hood is a crime lord, not a vigilante, stop reporting on him.
A: Die mad about it. (Edit: Maxi and our supervisors said we can't say that.)
Q: Why do you talk about Wayne Enterprises so much?
A: They have so many events that you should try doing things in this city without running into something done by them.

This blog is run by one person! If you want to talk to me specifically, talk to me in an ask by calling me “Ali”, “Mod”, or “OP” (my pronouns are she/they)
If you want to get in touch about things not pertaining to this blog, my main is @nookisms
All links on posts will be relevant to the content that's in the posts.
If you send an ask, it will either be answered as soon as I see it or scheduled for a day or two into the future.
You may notice (in the future) that I have posted about the same events multiple times. Since I'm running this like an official city account, I would think they would have monthly or annual reminders for their citizens. I don’t know if they do this irl.
Most neighborhood names are taken off several maps I could find of Gotham, but sometimes you just gotta ignore if things are canon and go with what feels right.
Will there be canon events? Everything is canon somewhere.
This blog's intended ambiance was inspired by Welcome to Night Vale, which is a normal podcast to Gothamites.

I think my favorite thing about Ed and Oswald's first meeting in season one is it literally did not need to happen. Their story together doesn't actually start til season two, and their second meeting still would've happened even if the first interaction didn't. The writers just wanted these two weirdos to have a silly little interaction.

Thank You Tumbr: BoP Story Unspoiled! Damn it DC, you fucked up again: I asked for 2 things, 2!
First of all, Thank You all for not spoiling the BoP (2023)'s story. It was damn cool and I felt endorphins rush through my head after reading it [that might be the caffeine talking though] It is HYPE, it is amazing, and it is going to be a classic, I just know it. Now, for the Gotham War Issue 2. GOD DAMN IT!!! There were 2 things that needed to happen. The first was that the story needed to establish WHY Cassandra would outright turn on Bruce despite having a nearly identical ethos to him. The second is NOT JOB THE BATKIDS. I get that this is about Bruce and Selina and the rest as a supporting cast, AT BEST, but please have some respect for the characters. Also, are we establishing Grappling Hooks as Cassandra's kryptonite? She got taken out by a grappling hook in the Batgirls run and again in the Gotham War storyline. Is that her Achilles Heel? Here is Cassandra Cain, one of the most dangerous people in the world, a creature that can fight any human to a standstill or win. Fear her and the symbol she wears... except if you have a grappling hook cause she cannot dodge those for the life of her. I mean, it's not like she was taught to dodge bullets or anything.

Harley's Commentary - Rogues! The Podcast
(S03E07)
Edward is taking about his portrayal in Gotham. He off handedly mentioned Nygma and Cobblepot teaming up, but..
Will he ever go over the Cobblepot/Nygma romance in Gotham? I'd love to see what he'd say about that!
Nygma (of the podcast) is a little shit, and I love it!

Other people weakened/humbled Oswald by reducing him to an animal (penguin, goose, monkey.) Ed did it by reducing him to a man.

I wonder how many times Duella has had her father thrown into her face as proof that she's bad, as if that's somehow her fault. As if she commits crimes for fun, and not simply as a desperate bid to survive.

So I don't think it was super clear, but was Two-Face a synthesis of the two Harveys? Because the other one didn't seem to care about Duella much.
But jeezus, imagine what we could have had s2. Duella had someone promise to care about her, and he did, and then she lost him, and then she gets someone who cares about her in a derranged way. It would have been so dramatic and so much fun.
