Chapter Text
+Every city has its pride and Gotham isn't different. We love our “dark and gloomy” architecture (meet us in the Batburgers parking lot Metropolis) and our Waynes, our vigilantes and most importantly: Our memes.
So, without much further ado, we present you Gotham’s top ten memes.
+1) Child hoarders? +
+
+
We all know Bruce Wayne has made it his personal goal to get a child for every room in Wayne manor, but what about Batman? Since he started, more and more masks have appeared on the field. Not that we’re complaining…
+2) Poor, poor foreigners +
+
+
It is common knowledge that Batman is part of the Justice League, he even has his own Wikipedia article! Yet people still have a hard time believing our dark knight is more than just a conspiracy theory started by cultists.
+3) Going to work? Not always easy! +
+
+
Don’t forget! Wayne Enterprises are still selling the latest gas masks. You can find them right here. If you’re unable to afford one, you can pick up one for free at WE’s main office. The money earned by the sold gas masks goes straight into the research for the Anti-Joker-Venom vaccines and antidotes to Fear Gas.
+4) It’s an aesthetic and we are willing to commit +
+
+
Fun fact! A lot of our architecture was actually based on spite! Mainly, Gotham’s wealthiest taking one look at Metropolis’s architecture and deciding that we will be infinitely better. The events of the last decade have left their mark, but we have rebuilt Gotham in the same image (with some improvements! Rumor has it that Robin loves gargoyles, so one or two more are no harm, right?)
+5) A place for the future! +
+
+
Every student’s biggest fear is debt! So, despite our gloomy image, WE once again has decided to make Gotham much more attractive to outsiders by promising to pay part of your student debt. What do you have to do in turn? Well, be a (paid!) intern at any Wayne owned facility for a year. Does that include the little Cup Cape bakery on main street that Damian Wayne frequents? Yes, it does! So even if you’re no STEM student, you can apply for support!
+6) Since we’re already talking Wayne… +
+
+
Yes, Capitalism is bad and no, we should not support the rich. However, I dare you to say one word against Bruce Wayne, who pays one of the best wages in the country, gives more to charity than anybody else, starts up charities if he finds there aren’t enough, doesn’t run off to a city with less problems, supports stricter gun laws and is just an all-around sunshine.
+7) Gotham’s Baby +
+
+
If there is someone we love more than Bruce Wayne though, it’s Robin!!! No matter what shape or form or creepy laugh they come in, our punny bird is the absolute best. In the wise words of another meme:
+
+
+8) Yes, we have a lecture for that +
+
+
Okay, so in case you don’t know it, Gotham’s education system is a little weird. Namely, that we have a mandatory class once a month in which we get updated on the latest villain statuses, which vaccines don’t work anymore and etc. Pictures of the power points used in those classes hit the web about a month ago, and of course, it became a meme of people adding weird situations they stumbled into in Gotham in power point format.
+9) Clowns +
+
+
Look, the Joker is simply the worst. And what’s even more terrible than him breaking out? It’s him breaking out during exam time. Since we deal with so many villains per month, their attacks aren’t a valid excuse to miss school anymore. Fun. (But if the teacher doesn't show up, you pass with 100%!)
+10) Conspiracy theory +
+
+
Gotham’s longest – and best-running conspiracy theory of all time – DO THE BUTTS MATCH!? In our quest to figure out the identity of our masked heroes, we have tried our best to discover to whom we should sing our praise and the Do the butts match? theory has helped us come quite far! We have discovered that, while Officer Grayson looks absolutely great in his uniform, he is sadly no match for Nightwing.
