Is it true that Nightwing's ass is the best in the city?

We can't say if it is or isn't definitively, but it certainly is one of the best!

Happy Valentine's Day!

Harley Quinn and Poison Ivy have been out and about, but they aren't causing much trouble. They're mostly going to popular date locations and making fun of straight couples.

It's twosday.

Two Face is running amok causing chaos, but the colony is on his tail! No one has been able to tell what exactly the two of today's thing is, but we're sure it's there.

We can't get in contact with Red Hood directly but we can get you in contact with some reputable places.

Here is a list of shelters that may be able to assist you.

Here is a way to keep warm if you are stuck outside during the winter.

Here is a way to get some food if you don't have any.

Episode 1 Repost!

Welcome to Goth-Pod! Join host Juda Boone discuss all things Gotham City. Today we dive head first into one of Gotham City's more relevant mysteries: Who is The Batman?

[goth-pod is a fictional in-universe podcast based on the DC comics universe. Juda Boone is an original fictional character, not based on any real person or known comic book character.]

Transcript under the cut

Hello everyone! Welcome to our first episode of the season. If you're new here, hi! Thank you so much for joining us here at Goth-Pod. Unfortunately we are not a gothic-lifestyle podcast, though I do understand the confusion. 

Goth-Pod is a Gotham City based podcast for all discussions of Gotham. The weird and the wild, the rogues and the rakes, the heroes and the heretics. 

You are listening today to your favorite non-binary holy heretic, Juda Boone. Yes that is my real name and yes I did pick it myself, thank you. 

For the first episode of the season I wanted to start us off with something that has been a heavily discussed topic, and therefore something comfortable for our Gotham residents. The age old question, the thing that gets people more up in arms than the moon landing- Who is The Batman?

There's this idea that almost all people have, that heroes have to have a secret identity. Which is fair. We watched things like Cinderella, or the Mask of Zorro all our lives. The idea of changing the outward appearance in order to do something one normally couldn’t.

 If you’re fighting for your life every night against some of the most dangerous people in the world, you don’t want those people to know your home address. So you don a mask, and a new persona and you do what one normally couldn't. 

But the Bat, as most Gothamites know, does not follow the normal rules we see with other heroes. Less of a mask, and more of a.. casing. Not so much a persona, but instead a state of being. 

The Bat is. Weird. That's why we love him. That's why he’s ours. 

But what if that went further? What if Batman wasn’t much of a man at all? Batman, or, The Bat, as I like to call him, is more of a.. Manifestation of Gotham. Or of the justice Gotham needs? An earth-bound spirit that haunts just as strongly as it interferes. 

You know I used to have a belief as a kid, that Monsters would just disappear when light touched them. 

Strangely, I’m not alone in this weird meta-physical belief. I actually adopted it from a good friend here at Goth-Pod. Of course, I don’t speak for everyone at the podcast and definitely not for everyone in Gotham. My uncle still texts me blog posts that try to explain the crack-pot theory that Batman is in fact, world-renowned reporter, Vikki Vale. 

But what do you think? Does the Bat have a face behind the ghostly white eyes and inhuman abilities to cling to the shadows? 

Unrelated, but did you know that Gotham is one of the only cities that has an urban bat population? Something to think about tonight. 

Thank you for joining! If you enjoy this podcast, let us know! We love to hear from our neighbors in Gotham, or if you're listening in from outside our home city. I’m Juda and you’re listening to Goth-Pod. Until next time, stay safe, Gotham.

If any of you have ever clicked the links on asks before, you'd notice that they're relevant to the posts at hand. I do like to put some research into those links before I post then, but rest assured that if your ask hasn't been answered it's either in the queue or being properly researched for quality :]

How was the bar fight in Crime Alley? Did you have fun in the bar fight in Crime Alley?

It was so fun Red Hood was there my chair almost got knocked over. Everyone is always very respectful of my chair even when there's fighting. Sure they'll call me names and whatever but never because of my chair mostly because I deliberately steal a barstool and take its spot and it's so funny to see how mad it makes people.

Mod Rusty, I love you

Thank you so much :)

[gothamcity-official]

I hear your most pressing of questions: I do not drink, I just go to bars because I love to see the sights (other people getting in fights)

It's always "Rusty why did you go to that bar in Crime Alley" and "Rusty how did you get to that bar in Crime Alley" and not "how was the bar fight in Crime Alley did you have fun in the bar fight in Crime Alley"

Hello! Love all you do for our city in keeping Gothamites informed! A couple of friends and I are starting a podcast @goth-pod! It'll cover a bunch of Gotham topics! I thought it would help to make the official page aware of the new way gothamites can be heard! :D - Juda

This is excellent news! This is a wonderful way to share information with others as well! We hope it goes well!

Gargoyle Maintenance

Routine gargoyle maintenance is essential for the ambiance of our city. Every first through third, we have masons and stone carvers do upkeep on them. Please inform the GHC (Gargoyle Health Committee) whenever you notice one is damaged.

Batman has caught Mr. Freeze with Black Bat's assistance. On the other side of Gotham, Red Robin and Red Hood have been chasing Robin around and singing “Jingle bells, Batman smells,” much to the obvious frustration of the younger vigilante.

Please seek help at Gotham Hospital if you or others have caught hypothermia from Mr. Freeze. Enjoy your Christmas day off!

Mr. Freeze Gives Us A White Christmas

We would like to wish you a merry Christmas, but Mr. Freeze has escaped and is trying to freeze most of Gotham. The entire Colony is out and about, including Signal, who has been seen much earlier than usual.

Stay warm and inside. Please review how to avoid hypothermia and how to treat it if you do come across Mr. Freeze.
