BRUCE WAYNE, LEAD SINGER, GOODNIGHT,GOTHAM (voice-over from 1992 interview with IRIS WEST): This band is a family, one of us leaving doesn’t mean anything. Mary wants to be there to see Dickie grow up, I get it. Elaine’s a great addition, hell, Mary sat in on her audition and picked her, herself. Everything’s good here. We ain’t breaking up.
MARY GRAYSON, FORMER GUITARIST, GOODNIGHT,GOTHAM (voice-over from 1995 interview with CLARK KENT): The family’s gettin’ bigger. You should see Bruce with all the babies around! That playboy shit, I can say shit, right? Good. That playboy shit they keep pushing ain’t him! He spends most of his time elbow deep in rattles and teddy bears, trying to entertain all the kids.
ELAINE THOMAS, GUITARIST, GOODNIGHT, GOTHAM (voice-over from 1999 interview with VALERIE VALE): Hubby’s more of a jazzy kinda’ guy. Played in the church, you know? I’ve always been a rocker and I thought it was over when I left the Immortal Men, but Mary and Bruce gave me and Jazz Baby a chance—
VALERIE VALE, HOST, ENTERTAINMENT TONIGHT (voice-over from 1999 interview with ELAINE THOMAS): Jazz Baby?
ELAINE THOMAS, GUITARIST, GOODNIGHT, GOTHAM (voice-over from 1999 interview with VALERIE VALE): That’s our nickname for Duke. Dickie is Pop Baby ‘cause he’s really into the boybands right now, and Timmy is Punk Baby. Kid loves his Black Flag. Go figure.
JACK DRAKE, BASSIST, GOODNIGHT, GOTHAM (voice-over from 1991 interview with VALERIE VALE): Lucius always has our backs. Like, fuck, we’re just kids man! We can’t sign fuckin’ contracts and–Oh, shit, sorry Lu. Shit, I said shit again didn’t I, fuck….Oh man. Sorry. Can we start this over?
JOHN GRAYSON, DRUMMER, GOODNIGHT, GOTHAM (voice-over from 2003 interview with LANA LANG): It’s not a goodbye tour, just a ‘be back soon’ tour. We got kids now, Dickie’s turning eleven soon and this tour life ain’t really for kids.
LANA LANG, HOST, THE LATE SHOW (voice-over from 2003 interview with GOODNIGHT, GOTHAM): So the kids won’t be joining you all this time?
JANET DRAKE, KEYBOARDIST, GOODNIGHT, GOTHAM (voice-over from 2003 interview with LANA LANG): They’re all in school now and we can’t tear ‘em away from friends just to go ridin’ around the world with their folks. Timmy used to love it, but ever since we got him in school he’s been begging us to let him stay. That’s when we all realized that these kids need to be around kids their age ya’know?
LANA LANG, HOST, THE LATE SHOW (voice-over form 2003 interview with GOODNIGHT, GOTHAM): I couldn’t imagine having to leave them behind, though.
ELAINE THOMAS, GUITARIST, GOODNIGHT, GOTHAM (voice-over from 2003 interview with LANA LANG): Bruce is gonna miss ‘em the most.
LANA LANG, HOST, THE LATE SHOW (voice-over from 2003 interview with GOODNIGHT, GOTHAM): I heard you’re the best godfather in the world Bruce. Have you been spoiling the kids?
MARY GRAYSON, GUITARIST, GOODNIGHT, GOTHAM (voice-over from 2003 interview with LANA LANG): Spoiling? I don’t think any of us have bought a Christmas or birthday gift for these kids in years because of him. They love him and he loves them and we know we can trust him with our babies no matter what. I just hope they aren’t too upset when they realize they’ll be spending more time with us instead of him once the tour is over.

VALERIE VALE (on camera): Goodnight, Gotham was and still is one of the greatest bands to come out of the 90s. The tragic accident that left two survivors, lead singer Bruce Wayne, and the band’s manager Lucius Fox still has Gotham reeling ten years later. Tonight’s benefit concert is brought to you by League Records and Wayne Entertainment. Our host is none other than model and owner of Cat Eye Cosmetics, Selina Kyle. Special guests include Lucius Fox, his wife Tanya Fox and children, Tiffany, Tamara, and Luke Fox. Appearances from Clark Kent, Lois Lane, and Jimmy Olsen. Tonight’s musical guests include Trident of Poseidon, Flash Bang, a reunion of Gotham’s own, The City Sirens, and the batbratz with a special Goodnight, Gotham tribute from Bruce Wayne, Dick Grayson, Timothy Drake, and Duke Thomas. Thank you for tuning into tonight’s telecast, and now your host, Ms. Selina Kyle.
