Gotham's Mark

Can a darkened Homeland city evade the claws of a watch-schema, thanx to a heroic-Utopian 'bat-family' (of moonlighters)?

The world of Batman was one of wrought distances to social sanity for civics' sake and boasted an entire 'team' of 'bat-family' vigilante-heroes. Batman was the original/founder of course, but his new allies, Catwoman and Nightwing, helped them deal with Gotham City's worst face(s) of Hell and criminal-insanity and/or terrorism, casting the 'bat-family' as a dark-knight-force of social-media culture sanity/lifestyle defenses (for the Ego!).



Batman had become a socialite-businessman and sports-writer/investor by day and masked vigilante by night, while Catwoman was a shrewd journalist (by day) and Batman's fearless femme-fatale vigilante-heroine/ally (by night). Batman/Catwoman were courting a (rumored) off-duty courtship and love-affair of great social-media friendly commentary for 'policework' optimism in this new millennium of Homeland paranoia for commerce/traffic confidence and heat (or photo-synthesis).



NIGHTWING: We've a new force of darkness to contend with now, Batman/Catwoman!
BATMAN: Seems you've become quite the curious young-man of heroics, Nightwing.
CATWOMAN: Yeah, don't let your 'dash' for deeds lead you to the annals of risk(s), man.
NIGHTWING: Never mind that, now, friends; this new 'menace' is a Hungarian threat-IQ.
BATMAN: What's this?
CATWOMAN: Hungary?
NIGHTWING: Yes, friends; this Ra's al Ghul (name) plots an aquarium eco-terrorism IQ.
BATMAN: Geez, the Gotham Aquarium is a beloved/cherished 'haven' for all good life.
CATWOMAN: Bad for citizenry commentary 'feelings' on social-media nets, Nightwing.



This super villain from Hungary, Ra's al Ghul, plotted a nasty terror-blueprint to ruin the ghost-magic of the beloved and well-established Gotham Aquarium on New Year's Day for a threat to everyday consciousness in the Homeland, already challenged by new age 'troubles' like the Coronavirus, 9/11, and Israel-Gaza paranoia. Well, perhaps Ra's wasn't as big a fan of commerce/net activity 'imagery' like Gotham sports-charities activities endorsed by Batman's daytime socialite business-company, seeking to offer 'life-medicine' for trauma/scars of American history (wow).



RA'S: Why such 'shock' with a natural threat to the aquarium in Gotham, heroes?
BAT-FAMILY: We're idealists for Homeland lifestyle and civics, evil man.
RA'S: In Hungary, I was a great photographer of everyday traffic-life worries, heroes.
BAT-FAMILY: Now, you've become a man immersed in the mouths of madness, evil man.
RA'S: I'm not an 'avid-fan' of sportsmanship or commercial (overground) activity, see.
BAT-FAMILY: We certainly see you've the 'foreign' aura of a man seeking self-exile!
RA'S: Perhaps I shall erect my own underwater haven, following my dark crusade.
BAT-FAMILY: Cut short this temp-schema and seek the immediate self-exile for peace.
RA'S: Why's this?
BAT-FAMILY: This Homeland's image for net-activity arts for peace-veils in good-time.
RA'S: You seek to use muscular-rhetoric to dilute forms for anarchism in Gotham (aha).
BAT-FAMILY: We're the heroes of the day/night, and you must seek alternatives to Hell.
RA'S: What's the offer, heroes of persuasion (hmm)?
BAT-FAMILY: Seek your self-exile, avoid this aquarium-nonsense; we keep your secrets.
RA'S: You keep my (sovereign) secret, for my own underwater 'escape' from Babylon?
BAT-FAMILY: For Gotham, all 'image' for theater is but a 'human' will for sportsmanship.
RA'S: Damn...quite 'sporting' for an 'Earth' materiality (fine).
