The landscape of the city is changing. The new face of Gotham City politics is an honest one, though there are some wrinkles to be ironed out. Politicians with mob relations have been driven out in a massive scandal, while the city's corrupt cops are being systematically replaced. Though corruption is slowly being driven out of the city, even the honest ones have trouble trusting the mysterious vigilante, Batman.

Note: Readers of Meinhosen's CJs will see the obvious Ralston influence in the city hall district.  ;)





kimcar:  $%Grinno$% You'd think it would be a hassle free job.

pat: Thanks for the comment!

serenity086: Hey, where've YOU been?  :P Glad you like it.

















Mayor Hamilton Hill:

Elected after the great scandal, in which dozens of politicians with mob relations were driven out of office (including the former mayor), Hamilton Hill is a clean-cut politician. He is against corruption, but doesn't approve of Batman either.




Harvey Bullock

Though his motives are questionable and he is often suspended for his actions, Harvey Bullock is a good cop. He may not look the part (often unshaven and poorly dressed), but Bullock is passionate about enforcing the law. He is, however, distrustful of the Batman, and gets in frequent arguments with Gordon concerning Batman's vigilante motives. Bullock leaps at every opportunity to apprehend Gotham's Dark Knight.

 &apls Very nice zone , The Gotham City Hall the building you took are great. :thumbsup: I can`t wait for the next.

Krio

Looking griddy and little messy. The highway could be sunken and El-Rail is too curved, is the train going 10 miles per hour  $%Grinno$% But selection of bats was good, though City Hall was  :thumbsdown:

tooheys

I don't quite see the problem with city hall, looks OK to me  :). A batman theme problem??

It's been a while but I've been waiting for that big SC4 update. Nice work, the gov't district looks the part.
The Eyes in the Sky update is also nicely done with the blimp moving thru the towers.

Nice work Eddie

Cheers

Dave

bat

Great update, Eddie! Nice work on the city! Also nice city hall! :thumbsup:

Eddie



With the mayor's authorization, the police once again wage war on  Gotham's masked vigilante. Meanwhile, Batman investigates Phoenix Pharmaceutcals in an attempt to clear his name. The police have something else in mind, however.




pat: The Batman's not a popular figure in the political circle.

kimcar: Thanks!

Bengt: I assume you've never seen an American city hall district. Europeans... ;)

tooheys: I'm not sure what you mean by Batman theme problem...but glad you like the update.

bat: Thanks, bat.

I've been away to England the past couple of weeks, wish i could of stayed there to be honest hehe. But i've caught up with your updates since i came back. Cant wait for the next one. I really like the City Hall buiding you're using.

Come Visit Murdock Valley

Eddie



Things heat up (literally) when the police corner Batman at Phoenix Pharmaceuticals.




pat: He's hell-bent, but he's just enforcing the law.

serenity086: Thanks for the comment, and welcome back.
























Next Update: On Leather Wings, Part 4

emilin

More cool stuff. Very good! :thumbsup:

I like those focus updates inbetween the storyline updates a lot, too. Gives you a chance to enjoy the city as it stands. On that note: is there any chance of a new region shot (if there has been any regionally significant development since the last one, of course...)?

Batman's detective skills take over. As Bruce Wayne, he visits the city zoo to uncover more info about his mysterious imposter.




emilin: Haven't touched the region for a few months now, so a region shot wouldn't be a whole lot different. Thanks for the comment, hope you stop by more often.

Gotham City Zoo. The name says it all.

Zoo looks as good as it can be :D Story has been boring, that's why no comments.

modify for tooheys: yes, IMO it dosen't fit to Gotham's atmoshphere, thought it is very American building.

Pat

 :D lol bengt... Eddie i loved the trip to the zoo and the comic frames was a excelent touch.....  :thumbsup: :thumbsup:

tooheys

Eddie, the Zoo looks great. I'm assuming that's a modular pack, it work's well. :thumbsup:

I know this was a while ago but you questioned my last post several updates ago ("a Batman theme problem")
I had seen that Bengt had a problem with the town hall and was wondering if he thought
that the architecture didn't comply with the Batman/Gotham theme or he was just being Bengt, I guess the latter applied :)

Cheers

Dave


Eddie



The conclusion of On Leather Wings will involve an aerial pursuit between Batman and the Man-Bat. This Settings update will show the cityscape and skyline of the area they'll flying over.





Bengt: Thanks for the comment and correction.

pat: Thanks. Glad you like the frames.

tooheys: It is indeed a modular pack (jeronij's). And thanks for clearing up "the Batman theme problem." I get what you're trying to say now. Stop by again!
