Gotham City was the opposite of Metropolis in many aspects. While both were vast and large cities Metropolis was vibrant and lively while Gotham was dark with an almost steampunk atmosphere to it. Even in the light of midday there was a haze over the city that seemed to take the doom and gloom theme to a whole new level. Of course that is not to say that Gotham was not a happy place or even void of color. Most citizens were happy, the night life was booming, and there was always something to do. Characters like the Joker added a flair of color into the grim mix while men like Bruce Wayne dressed up as a giant black bat to stop them.<br/><br/>It was here that another contrast showed itself. Metropolis had Superman for a hero, he was an alien, superpowered by the sun, and wore a brught blue suit with a red cape. Batman was human, peak physical conditioning helped him, but in the bulky rubber suit he was anything but agile. On his cowl were two pointy stiff ears, most of his face was covered, it led to his chest where there was an emblem of a black bat on top of a bright yellow ellipse. A black cape flowed behind the man, a yellow utility belt around his waist, and black rubber trousers with black combat boots finished it off.<br/><br/>He worked tirelessly at night to save Gotham, and tonight the streets were ripe with activity. His black vehicle, aptly dubbed the Batmobile by the Gotham Gazette, had roared through town and he parked it near the Gotham Cathedral. A faint scream was heard upon his exit and Batman strode across the street toward a dark alley. A thick, portly man, held a woman by the throat with one hand while his other had been trying to bunch up her skirt. "Now now, don't scream, this will be fun." The man said to the woman who's eyes went wide when she spotted Batman enter the alley.<br/><br/>The hero grabbed a fistful of brown hair and tugged the man backward. He slammed his right fist into the man's face, and in typical fashion he crumbled like a sack of bricks. Batman quickly took out a few zip ties, he saved his cuffs for bigger criminals not lowly scum, and soon he drug the man to the sidewalk before heading back into the alley. The woman tried to thank him, but his cold stare stopped her. Batman took out his grappling gun and soon he was headed for the rooftop above.<br/><br/><a class="username" data-user-id="3043" data-username="@DaisyDalliance" data-xf-init="member-tooltip" href="https://blackdahliaroleplaying.com/members/3043/">@DaisyDalliance</a>
