Batman

Each story told in Gotham is by Batman.

We see everything from his point of view and we are on his side. We believe that his anguish and hurt is all rational because of all the things he tells us. His parents murdered, family distorted, and all past guilt still invades his mind. He performs so much good and so much hurt comes in return, but he refuses to let the city go up in flames. He is a hero.

The dark, gloomy streets of Gotham are portrayals of Batman's perspective.

What if we took it from someone else's point of view? What if every good thing Batman thought he was doing was actually destructive? What if his mind was so warped and twisted that the gloomy Gotham city was actually just a regular beautiful city like Toronto. A city that, when nightfalls, shines brightly as if to say "Welcome Home!"

What if our pessimistic view or our ignorance is ruining the beauty that is all around us? What if all the good we think we are doing is actually destructive to our relationships, our spirituality, and physical health?

What if we are like Batman?
