Gotham Poems


the Gotham man

the Gotham man 
He is so wealthy, perhaps the richest man 
In the world, he enjoyed his lucre and sired 
A dozen of male and female children 
He has reached middle age, and his youth has
Gone the body, no longer as elastic as before 
He has realized, as many men before him
 that
Life has a

Binoculars

I used to stunt like a Stunt man only to lose limbs and then l realized this was not Stunt city.

So l ran off to Gotham city with exception of Bruce Wayne only to live by  the illusion of Joker.

I wonder why the stories of many men end up as of one man?

This game

Premium MemberHalloween In Gotham City

Let’s have a party and invite our nemesis, Robin suggested one day.
Let’s have it on Halloween and invite all of them Batman said in a nice way.
So they decided to open the Wayne Mansion to every diabolic creature and pal.
Invitations were distributed to every enemy of the city, and each enemy’s gal.

The refreshments were Alfred-designed

What kind of city

Gotham City

GOTHAM

The brothels are terrible in Gotham City
and do little excuses
no one is safe from a bite
there in the shadows where the bodies are dried
from morning until evening, and where three channels in black and white and a touch of reality is structured

and gigantic shadows behind them
dormant in the darkness

Gotham City, San Francisco

Just one little brave boy and an entire city
Gave this heart so much joy in seeing such glee
For Bat Kid has arrived to fight for all the children
A true fighter who survived and a hero among men

For they came from near and they came from far
But one thing was clear it was a glimpse of
