THE SIMCITY UNION & SC4DEVOTION PRESENT'S

GOTHAM CITY : PART I
"THE KILLING JOKE"




"$Deal"$ Gotham City : Launch Post "$Deal"$


There's no place like Gotham City.

Some have described it as New York by night, that Gotham is New York below 14th Street

Gotham City was founded in 1635 by a Swedish mercenary and was later taken over by the Kingdom of Great Britain. During the American Revolutionary War it was the site of a major battle and various occult rites were rumored to have been conducted within the city. Perhaps for these reasons Gotham is a dark and foreboding place rife with crime, grime, and corruption. Despite this, Gotham City has maintained a thriving economy and is considered a major economic center of activity.

Gotham City proper is a city of contrasts. The wealthy and the very wealthy have few barriers between them in the central area, but the vast majority are desperate, poverty-stricken, as blue collar jobs become harder and harder to get. The middle class has retreated to the suburbs and some of the very wealthy have put up walls around estates north of the city, frightened by the masses which are often violently envious of their good fortune.

But overall city statistics show a different picture. Money flows through Gotham City in ever-increasing amounts, economic development is on the rise and improvement seems to be consistent, when one looks at the numbers. There is simply a huge gap between the numbers and the reality.





Gotham's morale decay has been ongoing since its founding. However, the advent of the Depression some thirty years ago seemed to accelerate this degeneration with economic factors as well. Crime grew exponentially with the mob element moving into town and taking root like an infestation. Even after the end of the Depression, the rot had settled in deeply enough for organizations such as the League of Shadows to ensure that Gotham's criminal descent was complete. With the arrival of Carmine Falcone onto the stage, Falcone's dominance of Gotham's underworld was assured. Even the efforts of well meaning citizens like Thomas Wayne who built Gothams Mass Rapid Transit System, did little to stop the tide of growing violence and corruption through all levels of City Hall. The deaths of Thomas and Martha Wayne did serve to alleviate the violence for a time as respectable citizens were galvanized by their senseless murder into devoting money and resources to improving Gothatm's social structure and ease the need to turn to a criminal life style. However, this state of affairs lasted only for a time and until the advent of Batman's arrival in Gotham, the city was still rife with gangland influences from the streets to the highest levels of office. Gotham's present Mayor is Mayor He Who Will Not Be Named seen Below.




Gotham City occupies three large (and a handful of small) islands between the Atlantic Ocean and the Gotham River. It is in the state of New Jersey. Several smaller islands and areas on the mainland are also part of the city. It's occupied by about 10 million people. It's 0-20 degrees in the winter and about 70-80 (usually) in the summer.

Tricorner Island – Carl Grissom's Territory

Just off the southEast corner of the Lower East gotham , this risland is most notably home to the Tricorner Naval Yard, which was decommissioned by the U.S. Navy in 1975. The neighborhoods on the island are dominated by those still working in the other, much smaller naval yards and docks on the island. However, Tricorner Island has become synonymous with organized crime and police corruption. In some respects, Tricorner is "wide open". Carl Grissom controls most of the unions for the labor on this island and is set to control a great deal of power due to the industry being re-energized due to lucrative Wayne contracts. His warehouse on the Docks is located here.








Gotham City 1973 , Thomas and Martha Wayne Sat in the opera Watching in aw as there 8 year old son Bruce sat next to them Shaking "Dad can we go" he asked pulling on his fathers suit. Thomas Wayne Looked down at his son and saw the look of fright in his eyes "yeah Bruce lets go" together he and his wife Martha Walked there son Bruce  out of the Opera house and Headed down Park row also known as crime ally . About half way down Thomas heard a Voice in front of him , "hey you hand over your wallet and your wife's pearls " as Thomas looked in the direction of the voice he saw a Typical mugger holding a gun .Thomas pushed Bruce Behind him and pulled out his wallet 'here" he said "take it" the mugger took the wallet and looked at Martha's pearls I also said jewellery , as the mugger reached for Marthas necklace Thomas jumped in front of her Suddenly the Gun fired to shots and both Thomas and Martha fell to the Ground Dead . The mugger then reloaded the gun and aimed at Bruce and Said " hey kid ever dance with the devil in the pale moonlight " Bruce shook his head as the mugger started to pull the trigger Then a roar of police sirens rang out in the distance and the mugger fled . Bruce then collapsed next to his father Crying . Minutes later Bruce was found By police and taken back to Wayne Manor to Thomas's butler Alfred pennyworth.

I got into Batman when I was young, but not enough to know how it all came about.  Just saw the new movie and that's how they had the Wayne's die.  Looking foward to the rest of the story, I still don't know how the Boy Wonder comes about.

"$Deal"$ Update one  "$Deal"$

Old Gotham - Maroni Territory

Old Gotham is where the city was born, today it looks just like any Gotham area except it has many older buildings that you would not find any where else. The area is controlled By Salvador Martini a local kingpin. Old Gotham is home to a large casino called the Skin Kitty which is ran by martini and several buildings from the time of Gotham’s founding.The area has tons of trees that have replaced the old buildings that have fallen down , the trees were added to give the area a nicer look to tourists visiting the amusment mile nearby.





Chinatown

Gate Street is the main street of the main portion of Chinatown. The construction of the newest, tallest building in the area, the Kyoto Towers, is proceeding. Right along the waterfront is the large building of the Gotham Port Authority like some immense temple. Then there's also, near the edge of Chinatown, the Vauxhall Concert Center, home of the Gotham Opera




Architecture

The unique architecture of Gotham City can be traced back to Judge Solomon Wayne during the pre-American Civil War era. Wayne's entrepreneurial skills made him a leading citizen in Gotham, starting a dozen businesses including the Gotham Buggy Whip Works. His campaign to reform Gotham came to a head when he met Cyrus Pinkney, a young architect looking for a commission. After the promotion of Pinkney's designs in the Property Holders Association, Wayne commissioned the first "Gotham Style" structures to be built in what is now the center of the city's financial district. Despite mixed reviews from critics, the Gothic architecture became a focal point for a thriving commercial center. Wayne and Pinkney would raise a dozen similar buildings in the years that followed, as Gotham took on a new face that would make it famous the world over.




GCPD and Corruption

In addition to rampant organized crime activity in the city, the Gotham City Police Department (GCPD) was steeped in corruption up until the late 1980s. The strongest blow against police corruption came in 1986, when an increasing amount of conspiracy charges against Commissioner Gillian Loeb forced him to resign his position. The Falcone crime family, which had had a stranglehold on Gotham's underground for generations, finally crumbled by time Batman arrived in Gotham, following Carmine’s association with the League of Shadows. Following his institutionalization, the result of this vacuum was rising gang violence that threatened to severely crippled organized crime in Gotham City. Simultaneously, the ebbing presence of corrupt police officers allowed James Gordon to rise in the ranks and eradicate crime wherever it existed.



Left to Right Senior District Attorney John Howard, District attorney Harvey Dent, Officer Melissa Stockholm, Detective James Brown, Officer Keith Marley, Officer Greg Martinson, Detective Harvey Bullock, and Sergeant Max Miles. Missing Commissioner James Gordon



Gotham City 1989 , after years of roaming the world learning to fight and homing his skills Bruce Wayne returns to Gotham city. These days the city is crawling with crooks and corruption is everywhere. Over the roofs of gotham Gargoyles stood out but one of them was moving . Out of a theater downtown a family poured  out  onto the city Streets Mom , Dad , and little Jimmy as the mother stopped the Father kept walking. "for gods sake Harold can we get a taxi" the mother yelled the Father or Harold just kept walking soon the were down Park row a deserted side street where punks and muggers hung out . as the past a stack of garbage cans they heard a voice call out "Hey, mister. Gimme a dollar?" Harold looks down to see a homeless person with and outstretched hand  . Harold continues to walk while jimmy runs to keep up soon the father is face to face with a mugger. The mugger takes no time and knocks out the dad  Steals his wallet then he turns to lady "Do the kid a favor, lady. Don't scream." The poor woman is utterly horrified. TEARS stream down her face. But she keeps her wits about her, stifles the urge to  shriek,she then checks to see if her husband is alive .The  mugger  turns  , chuckles, and  races off in the opposite direction. meanwhile up on the roofs a dark figure moves silently.

Six stories up. The mugger sits down  on the tar-and-gravel roof, sizing up his take he barley notices the dark bat like apperation gliding off a roof behind him.A chill wind whips across the roof as the mugger is picked up by a huge unknown identity.Scared he panics "what do you want he gasps" the punk tries to get loose now yelling "Don't kill me... don't kill me..." as the figure holds him over the roof then he speaks I won't kill you. I want you to do  me a favor. the punk looked at him with fear in his eyes, "what is it" he asked , the figure pulled him closer to him "i want you to tell your friends about me all youir friends " the punk then looked at this figure " what are you" he yelled "IM BATMAN" the figure said as he threw the punk onto the roof then he jumped off and disappeared .

Nice.

I like the nice hue that your pics have too. I don't know what you did to them though? Perhaps it's just that you shrunk the screen shots. I often find that SC4 shots look better when shrunk myself.
