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.
