Gotham City: America's Most Corrupt Major City[/B]

[B]Welcome to [S]Gotham City[/S] Hell[/B], the welcoming message scrawled on signs all around the city's entrances 'greets' newcomers. If you asked any random citizen, they'd agree with the metaphor that Gotham is a tree with roots planted in Evil. Countless attempts at reform have only eaten away at the rotten infrastructure of order and relative peace, leaving obvious spikes in random violence where organized crime had been. The tree that grows from the ashes is nourished by the ashes of the men who'd built it. In spite of the most valiant efforts made to change the city for the better, there is always an immensely opposite reaction of death, poverty, and misery distributed by those who claim use fear over the fearful. But even the strong are afraid.

They used to commit murder without a second thought. But now... now they look over their shoulder if they do it at all. When they trip and fall in the mud, I hear them. I'm always watching, like a falcon over it's chicks. But they don't know what I see. They think they can get away with it all, but I guarantee that they can't. After some close calls they exaggerate what happened to them, carving a legend out for me. It is now that they realize that I am the thing that goes bump in the night. Tonight marks the third year anniversary of my quest to do the impossible, to tame the madness that fuels Gotham's flames of chaos. It has been said that the definition of insanity is doing the same thing repeatedly and expecting a separate result. As insane as I may be, I am no longer the lost-soul of Bruce Wayne. Now I am The Batman, and Gotham City belongs to me. I don't care what it takes. It is over my dead body that Gotham will continue to run rampant.
