In the rising death toll of corruption and scandal, Gotham's citizens tell their stories. But will you know them by their words alone?
AN: For freakwrtierCHM and Shadir.
I am Gotham. And I am laughing.
…Wanna know why?
I. Am. Gotham. And I'm laughing because life is far, farrr too short to be taken...seriously.
I am Gotham, because I believe what doesn't kill you only makes you…stranger. I see things on the uh, funny side. The world is chaos, chaos, and all the rules and morals and codes and magna cartas, declarations and statutes are nothing but a uh, joke. A baaaaad joke. Because Life. Is. Pain. And chaos…and everyone-even the cops, even your parents, even the Baddie-Batty Batman-who wants to tell ya differently is ly-ing.
Because they know. Oh, they know.
Life is pain. And yet they have the hmmm, balls to call it good.
…So I'm askin' ya, who's the real 'joker' here. Me?
…or them?
Because I don't mock pain. Oh, no. Ya see they're the ones who told the baaad joke…I'm just here to prove 'em wrong. I'm going to uh, make them eat their words...
I am Gotham because this city deserves a better class of criminal. And I'm gonna give it to 'em. I am Gotham because Gotham isn't a city. Gotham's a world. A world in need of a god…
...And I am its savior.
I am Gotham because Life. Is. Funny. So let's put a smile on that face...
