The unofficial subreddit of Gotham City.

Notes:

I love those fake social media posts from people living in fictional places. I saw The Batman last night and loved it, and wanted to make one.

I Met Bruce Wayne in an Abandoned Parking Garage at 3AM (Mod Flair: VERIFIED)

So, I’m a graffiti artist, right? I’ve lived in Gotham for a few years now and since I moved here, I talk to the GCPD to find places that are condemned/abandoned so I can paint without getting a ticket or some shit. I won’t say where exactly cause I don’t wanna get mugged or something, but recently I’ve been going to this abandoned parking garage and using the inside for practice. Throwing up tags and testing pieces, that kind of thing. The other night I get off work, go home and grab my gear, and head to the parking garage. I get off work around 2am (the joys of bartending), so I get to the garage around 3. I walk up to the third floor where I’ve been working on a new piece, and there’s a guy standing there staring at it eating chinese takeout. I don’t wanna scare him cause it’s Gotham and I figure he’s probably strapped up, so I just say “feel free to throw up your own stuff if you want”, assuming he’s also an artist cause he’s got this big backpack on. Guy says “oh I don’t paint, I just thought it looked nice”. We talk a little more about street art and I tell him I painted it, and the whole time I’m like “damn this guy seems familiar”. We’re standing next to each other at this point and he’s got this big jacket on, a baseball cap, and this crazy eyeshadow, like he kinda has this racoon look. Then he takes the hat off to readjust it and I realize this guy is Bruce Wayne. Like, the Bruce Wayne. I didn’t say anything cause I felt like an asshole for not realizing I was talking to Bruce fucking Wayne, and we talk for a little longer before he randomly says he has to go, hops on this motorcycle parked up there, and zooms out. This was last week and I haven’t seen him there since, but I haven’t really told anyone because it’s so fuckin weird no one would believe me.

 

TL;DR: Bruce Wayne likes eyeshadow and my street art.

EDIT: I didn’t ask why he was there, or about the makeup. I have no idea what he was doing.

Jacksontragedy MOD (stickied comment) :

Added the verified flair because in this GC1 interview from two days ago   when asked about Gotham’s vandalism problem, Bruce Wayne mentions talking with a local graffiti artist.

 

23redwing:

This alone makes me believe the whole “bruce wayne is the batman” theory more than literally any of the 1000 mile long conspiracy posts.

    wildwickett41:

    he’s not the batman, bruce wayne is just a fucking cryptid. have you seen pictures of this man? all of them look like photos of bigfoot.

 

Batmansmagnificentass:

God you people are so fucking stupid. That dumbass is not the Batman. Half the top posts on this sub are videos of the Batman beating the shit out of people and absorbing bullets. My ten year old niece could suplex Bruce Wayne without breaking a sweat.

    xX_gothamrogues99_Xx:

    Agreed wayne can barely look reporters in the eye

 

catwomanswedgie:

What throws me the most about this is the eyeshadow. Why was he wearing eyeshadow? Why did no one tell him that was too much of it??

    kobrakid06:

    Didn’t MCR perform in/close to Gotham last week?

        catwomanswedgie:

        Oh my god I hope Bruce Wayne is secretly a killjoy.

    clownfuker83:

    Maybe so people don’t recognize him? OP said he was also wearing a hat and a big jacket. He probably just doesn’t want to get swarmed walking around at night.

        jokerstiddies:

        Recognized by who?? He was in an empty parking garage.

 

assforwards:

Now im wondering how many times ive run into bruce wayne without knowing it

    r0ad_runn3r:

    I’m wondering how many people have tried to mug gotham’s golden boy without realizing it.

        rimjobsteve:

        Probably a lot. It’s Gotham.

 

Killjoynokillboy:

How long do you think he was just standing there eating chinese food?

 

orphan_obliterator:

Other gotham celebs: *having money laundering and mob scandals*

Meanwhile, bruce wayne: *whatever the fuck this is*

 

gaycrimedoer:

I’m so glad that we get to have this weirdo as our resident billionaire. I feel bad for people living in Metropolis who have to put up with lex luthor’s bullshit.

 

penguinapologist:

I think we’re all glossing over the backpack here. What the hell did he need a backpack for?

doctordoomlookinass:

    Maybe he takes night classes at the GCCC.

        fredosaurus:

        What fuckin night classes do you take that start/end at 3am??

       Rule No.5: Jokes about the Wayne murders stopped being funny 15 years ago.

 

Stargatekeeper:

What was the painting of OP?

    mattersplatter003 OP :

    A zombie with drophead eyes.

        Stargatekeeper:

        Fuckin’ sick dude.

            mattersplatter003 OP :

            Thanks man
