DescriptionBuckingham brings his "Fables" style to the city in ruins. Amongst the remains of Penguin's Iceberg Lounge Batman moves as a shadow in his long tendrilled cape. Little additions like the SLY ARNOLD Verminator movie poster touting "death, doom & destruction" are clever. It's also nice to have a few different flavors of zip-a-tone.The synopsis from DC database: Batman finally reaches Gotham City after the fight at Blackgate Prison. The destruction of his city in the earthquake wears down on him like nothing else ever has before. He's spent his entire life protecting Gotham only to see it wrecked beyond repair in an act of god... he's used to hunting thieves and fighting villains in his crusade for justice, but this is an enemy that he can't fight. It's like the cosmos are mocking him. For a moment, he stops to wonder what a single man can do in the face of such tragedy... but immediately springs into action, because if he had ever spent very much time wondering that, then he wouldn't be Batman. Batman runs around helping with the rescue efforts, dragging endangered survivors out of the rubble and saving as many lives as he possibly can. Realizing that he can't do all of this himself, he visits the greatest man around for organizing manpower... the Penguin. Instead of looting, the Penguin is going to use the considerable resources at his disposal to help in the relief efforts. There's nothing in it for him, but if he doesn't Batman is going to make the rest of his life a living hell. And given martial law, his men will probably be shot dead in the streets for looting anyway. The sooner things get back to normal, the better it will be for everybody. For once in their lives these criminals will help their fellow man. Social/Sharing |

Real inspiring page! When the chips are down, people chose to help each other instead of only thinking of themselves. Like the movie The Batman (2022), Bruce Wayne can do more uniting the citizens than a single man who only utilizes fear.

Attendance to the show looks like it may be a little low tonight. Otherwise box office gold.
