Who controls Gotham City?


Who DOES control Gotham city?

Jim Gordon: police chief that believes in doing the right thing for the sake of the citizens, yet always asks Batman, the man who breaks every rule, for help.

Batman: Masked vigilante. Refuses to kill, yet breaks every other law.  Works on his own.  The cause of chaos in Gotha,.

The citizens:  They pay for a majority of city damage due to Batman’s battles, they still live in Gotham regardless of all the horror that has occurred, they keep Gotham alive and in some sort of order.

Personally, I believe the citizens control Gotham.  They could have easily left, once they realized that Batman brings in all these villains.  Yet, they continue to pay their taxes and “support” this masked vigilante.  It is a tough decision, and there are probably more people/groups who could be responsible for controlling Gotham.  For example, Harvey Dent, the prior Mayor.  However, Dent worked with Batman as well.  The citizens are literally keeping Gotham alive with their taxes, jobs, and by simply living there.  They have witnessed some fairly traumatic events, yet remain where they are.  They are the reason Gotham is a functioning city.
