The original Gotham is a small town in England, a far cry from the large city Batman guards from evildoers. And it's not even pronounced the way we say it. The village of Gotham became the butt of jokes in the 13th century, because the villagers acted like fools. Tom Scott tells us the story behind that reputation, which the modern town fully embraces as part of its history.
The leap Gotham took from a village of fools to Batman's home city is also explained, although it doesn't make as much sense as it should. But it's a good story.

Do you even know what a tree hugger is?
@Gauldar
The idea to push for Mars has been around since long before the Obama administration. But, hey, just keep flinging politically-shaded feces and I'm sure you'll hit something eventually.
Always nice to see such well researched, unbiased comments here.
A plant hugger with bigger arms?
Evil humans bad.
Bad humans hurt everything they touch.
It's pathetic that generations are being brought up on self-hate....

It works out well because they're also brought up on self-love, and self-importance.
Sorry, I figured that if I used the word "sunergy" and the fact that it was being sucked from the center of the planet that my sarcasm would come through clear enough. It seems it didn't. Besides, everyone knows that it's always the currant president that gets the blame, regardless of who started the fire.
