#how Gotham isn’t under martial law 24/7 is a mystery to me

[whalehouse1]

Every Bat upon entering Metropolis: Oh my god, what’s that!?

Supers: That’s the sun?

Bats: And that smell?

Supers: Fresh air?

Bats: And why are the people so quiet?

Supers: It’s peaceful here?

Bats: Why doesn’t the air taste chemically and feel heavy?

Supers: Again, fresh air.

Bats: And why is the sky blue here?

Supers: It’s not cloudy?

Bats: DID THAT PERSON JUST DRINK FROM A WATER FOUNTAIN!?

Supers: We have safe drinking water?

-later after they have retreated to cozy little Gotham-

Alfred, on the phone: Master Clark, I do not know what you did to them but they are all traumatized deeply from their trip.
