Unnamed Universe No.??? - A different Gotham
I actually did it. After all this time I made a proper build for the Unnamed universe and wrote something for it! I've no idea where it fits in, but the important thing is it's not another world-building post.
Rain falls as Batman races through the streets. Victor Zsasz, Psychotic, unpredictable, has broken out of Blackgate. Imprisoned for nearly two decades, he's bound to kill again. And Batman has to stop him.
He reaches the corner of Wayne Square, but he's too late. The dilapidated buildings, falling apart with years of neglect, frame our scene. A woman, lies face down on the ground, blood trailing off into a murky pool of water. She's dead, has been for at least 10 minutes. Batman looks up to see Zsasz, leaning against the railing, smoking a cigarette, looking mournfully at his work.
He looks up, flickers of ember falling from the lit cigarette, sizzling against the sodden concrete.
"It's changed" he says absentmindedly. "This city, it's worse now, worse than it's ever been."
Batman says nothing. Gotham's been on the downward grind for a while now. While Neo-Gotham grows more rich by the day, Old Gotham just keeps getting worse. Before you'd see the rich and famous donating money to various causes, trying to help those in need, but now they lock themselves away in Neo-Gotham, safely away from the wretches and the filth of the old city.
"No one came for her y'know." Zsasz sighs. "She screamed and screamed and no one came. They all just locked their doors, pulled the shutters down, and pretended this grisly deed wasn't happening."
"Then why do it Victor?"
Zsasz flicked the cigarette away and stretched his arms out. "The same reason as sixteen years ago Batman, it was a mercy killing, freeing her from the hell that is Gotham city!"
He chuckled, a raspy chuckle that would send a chill up your spine. "It's so much worse now, since the Joker killed Batman, since the old guard died, even worse when they shut down Arkham." He held his arms out in front of him. "May as well take me back to Blackgate, I just wanted to see how it had changed. This isn't my Gotham anymore, and these people don't deserve to be saved."
Well that was rather depressing wasn't it. Unfortunately this is the world that Batman II lives in, where charity is dead and people hide away rather than help. Hopefully the next instalment (if there is one) will be a bit more uplifting.
And as usual, there's ore pics on Instagram: www.instagram.com/p/CosqSmCIBvs/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link
