Batman Fans Hilariously Hypothesize What Life Would Be Like As An Average Citizen Of Gotham City

Although Batman's Gotham City is allegedly inspired by New York, they are fundamentally different places. Even in the most crime-ridden parts of NYC, having a cast of uniquely themed, colorful villains running around town is unprecedented. That led some Twitter users to wonder, what would it be like to be an average citizen of Gotham City?

The discussion started with one Twitter user asking if others would be willing to live in Gotham if the rent was as cheap as $300 per month. Naturally, living in this fictional city would be difficult because anyone whose seen a modern Batman movie knows that his work has lasting consequences for the infrastructure around him. Having to deal with the Riddler, the Joker, Two-Face, and Poison Ivy in comics is different from having them as your neighbors. Many fans agreed that they would live in Gotham if it were affordable, but not without providing some hilarious commentary on what they imagine that experience would be like.
