So what is this all about? Meanwhile, in Gotham… is a collection of one shots about different people in the three Nolan Batman movies, and the side stories that the movie just doesn't cover. You know, the little details of everyday life that our heroes and villains have to deal with, scenes that you know would have been hilarious if they had been included, and parts of the movie that just make no damn sense. The Most of these are plot holes that I wanted to have fun with, or just random "what-if's" that popped into my head. I'll start out with this one, and if you guys like them let me know in the reviews so I can keep doing more. Enjoy:)

The Story As You Know It: Bane has effectively cut of Gotham from the rest of the world, and has gathered his army of the steps of Blackgate Prison to publicly announce something. Many reporters show up, eager to report what Bane has to say to the rest of the world. Meanwhile, in Gotham…

Bane ascended the step of the Prison and turned towards the gathered crowd.

"Gotham!" he barked. "Take back your city! Take back-"

"Excuse me!" interrupted one of the reporters, a tall guy with a thick mustache and even thicker glasses.

Bane looked astounded.

"What could you possibly have to say right now, citizen?" he growled.

"Hi, um, I'm Barry Smith from Gotham Weekly. I was just wondering if you could maybe speak a little louder? There's a lot of space between us, you kind of growl a lot, and the TV Channel's microphones just aren't picking anything up." He said loudly. The other reporters mumbled in agreement, so Bane rolled his eyes and cleared his throat.

"GOTHAM! TAKE BACK YOUR CITY! I AM BANE-"

"Is that B-A-I-N-E or B-A-Y-N-E?" yelled Suzy Wendel from Channel 8 News.

"Silence, all of you. I could crush you, if I wanted to," said a clearly annoyed Bane.

"All we want to do is report the story correctly for the people. I mean, if no one can understand your speech or your motives, then this whole thing is kind of a moot point, right? Cause all I have from you now is, 'Grawphwh mmrgh hgn Gotham, urghh smorf Bane,'" said Barry.

Bane stared at the reporter for a second, but then seemed to think it over.

"You make a good point. B-A-N-E. That is how you spell it. Now, onto more important things-"

"Jake McIntire from Sports Daily, is that a first or a last name?"

"It is my only name. Just Bane. Like Cher, or Madonna."

"Ohhh..." said everyone in collective understanding.

"Wait, Sports Daily? What is Sports Daily doing covering real news?" asked Bane's brooding second in command, Barsad.

"Well you kind of bombed our only major sports team, so we don't really have anything else to report," admitted Jake. "No football... I don't know what to do for the next few months. We were going to make the playoffs this year, Bane. THE PLAYOFFS!"

"Jake, Jake, calm down. We haven't lost all hope for sports!" said Barry. "When Bane bombed the bridges we trapped the Harlem Globe Trotters on the island. They were doing their Northeastern tour, but I guess they can't now, because, you know, they're stuck here."

"Yes! I've always wanted to see them. Good family fun for all ages," said Suzy as the reporters mumbled in agreement.

"SILENCE!" Yelled Bane. "I haven't even given my speech yet!"

Everyone quieted down and turned back to Bane.

"I have here, a letter from your very own Commissioner Gordon. It reads-"

"Could you maybe speed this along?" yelled Suzy. "The Bachelor comes on at seven and my network cuts me off then."

"Perhaps you should tell them that what I have to say is more important the your trivial entertainement," said Bane.

Barsad leaned in and whispered to Bane. "Sir, tonight is the final rose ceremony. The one where the guy picks his future wife. It's a real nail biter this year, and I'd like to at least catch some of it, so maybe we could just paraphrase the rest of your speech?"

"Well, no one is letting me speak!" growled Bane. "The letter reads…"

"Does anyone know how to get tickets to the Harlem Globe Trotters?" whispered Barry into the crowd as Bane continued his speech.

"Yeah, how does that work now? Like, are we on a bartering system, like with old school markets and crap?" asked Suzy.

"Is the black market now just… the market?" wondered Jake.

"Reporters! Is there a problem?" yelled Bane.

"Yeah, we're all kind of wondering how the whole economic system works now that we're kind of stuck here for a while?" said Barry.

"I am giving Gotham back to the people!" said Bane.

"So… the Globe Trotters belong to the people now..." said Jake.

"All we have to do is find them !" exclaimed Suzy.

"Gotham is for the people- Gotham is- are any of you listening to me?" asked Bane. "I have just revealed Harvey Dent, Gotham's white knight, as a villain, and showed you how corrupt the leaders of Gotham are!"

"Cool story, bro," said Jake. "But we live in America. I'd feel weird if our politicians didn't lie to us."

"But aren't you disgusted by the corrupt, the men who take all of Gotham and leave nothing left for its people?"

"Well the 'corrupt' people built the football stadium that you just bombed, so there's that," said Jake.

"Hey man, we've gotta go find the Globe Trotters, but we have time for a quick picture!" said Barry. "Everyone gather around Bane… there we go, shortest people on the bottom step! Could you maybe just hold those guns a little lower, you're blocking his face… perfect, hold it. Smile and say cheese!"

"Uh, Bane, are you smiling? I can't really tell. The mask sort of hides your emotions, and makes it hard for people to connect with you." Said Jake as others mumbled in agreement.

"Enough of this foolishness. Men, storm the prison!" Bane yelled.

"Yo, I just got a hit on twitter! The Harlem Globe Trotters are on Fifth and Main street!" yelled Jake.

"To Fifth and Main!" yelled Barry, leading the charge as the reporters went off in pursuit of family fun, for all ages.
