One of my cousins from Metropolis just asked me why I seemed unbothered by a ‘serial mugger’ running around near their house. #MetropolisIs so boring that apparently mugging is horrifying to them. How do they live???
Gothamite#87: OMG! That’s hilarious. It’s a mugger! It’s not like they even have fear gas!
Scarecrow: I am honored that my greatest invention is being considered ‘worse than a serial mugger’/sarc
Gothamite#87: @Scarecrow Oh, oops, sorry about that. It’s way worse than even a stabbing! And trust me, I’ve gotten hit with the stuff like five times! Please don’t spray me again!
RedHood: @Gothamite#87 Woah, that is some fucking awful luck. I’ve only been sprayed six times and I’m one of the ones who fights the fucker!
Robin: @RedHood Perhaps, you both have awful luck. Or perhaps I’m simply better than you Hood, as I’ve not gotten sprayed with that lousy ‘fear gas.’
RedHood: @Robin Keep talking like that and I’ll have a quick collab with Crane here
Gothamite#133: Isn’t that a threat? An awful one too, that fear gas is horrifying
RedHood: @Gothamite#133 It might be and it might not be. At least I didn’t sic a serial mugger on the little Bird though, right?

#MetropolisIs an alien planet. Why is it so fucking bright? And where’s the rain? Is it always like this? This is miserable. Can’t believe I’m saying this, but I miss the dark and the rain…
Nightwing: C’mon it’s not that bad. You get used to being cranky after a while.
RedHood: @Nightwing The perfect Robin being cranky? Wait till B hears about that!
RedHood: @Gothamite#54 … And also, you’re right. It is fucking miserable there. No place should have that much sunlight.
Bat-Man: It is quite bright there
RedHood: @Bat-Man Look at that. We actually agree on something.

You know how we have a class for No Mans Land Survival? #MetropolisIs making a News story on the class, talking about how odd it is. It seems they sent someone undercover to one of them. What a Metropolis thing to think and do.
Gothamite#74: Do they not have ForYourSelfSurvival classes? What are they gonna do when No Man's Land happens and no one knows what to do?
HarleyQuinn: @Gothamite#74 Oh, sweetie. It’s Metropolis. They’re not interesting enough for that. That’s our shtick. There’s is being the home of the Big Jolly Boy Scout.
Robin: Perhaps, Superman is why they are so complacent. It makes them weak.
Gothamite#237: @I kinda have to agree. … or maybe we’re all traumatized. Who knows? :D
RedHood: @Gothamite#237 A little of both I’m pretty sure
Gothamite#422: @RedHood sounds about right
Joker
Do you think I could beat Superman? #MetropolisIs easy to overthrow right? I mean, Lex has done it, so it’s definitely not hard. Haha.
Bat-Man: Leave him alone.
Joker: @Bat-Man Why? Are you gonna fight me to keep me away~? If you will then I might reconsider…
Bat-Man: @Joker I won’t let you leave the city.
Gothamite#78: Possessive behavior???
BatJokesForLife: @Gothamite#78 You know it!

#MetropolisIs a pain to make business in. It is such a large market, but thanks to the ‘hero’ there they’re all too scared. Not of the Bat, but of the Boy Scout. I quite think I have more to be scared of than them. Perhaps, I won’t do business there anyway.
HarleyQuinn: @Penguin Yeah, don’t do it! I tried to have some stuff there and it was… Eh. It wasn’t fun. They even freaked out about my girl's green skin. A bit silly honestly. Said they thought she was ‘sick with something they’d never seen before’ As ya friend, I say with all of my heart, stick to Gotham. Oh! And Blüdhaven. I think it’s cause Nightwing hung out there for a while. It got the Gotham touch.
Gothamite#106: Blüdhaven is odd. I know a lot of people that after something happened in Gotham so they had to move away, trauma ya know, and they all move to Blüdhaven for a couple years, but eventually they always feel the pull to come back. It’s not Gotham, but it seems to feel like it to Gothamites. For a little while at least.
Nightwing: Yeah. My bad. Though, maybe it’s for the better. A mini Gotham without all of its most dangerous problems.
Penguin: So, no Metropolis business then.
Penguin: @HarleyQuinn … Thank you for the heads up, Harley. I suspected, but the confirmation is nice to have.
HarleyQuinn: @Penguin No problem, Pengy! I’m glad to have helped! ^ ^

#MetropolisIs lacking in so many areas. Gotham may be dangerous but I couldn’t imagine calling anywhere else home.
Bat-Man: Gotham is beautiful in its own way.
Joker: @Bat-Man Says you. Darling, you are Gothic architecture incarnate. … And I might be an enthusiast. ;) xoxo
RedHood: It’s something in the water isn’t it?
Scarecrow: @RedHood Only if one of us Rogues are involved. If not, it is in the air.
Gothamite#56: The charities and the parks are nice too. I love sitting in Central Park during the night, and since there’s a charity nearby, it’s actually pretty safe for Gotham standards.
Poison Ivy: The nature around and inside of Gotham is truly… special.
HarleyQuinn: @Poison Ivy And so are you, Pammy! <3 <3
Riddler: I quite like the way the city is laid out. It’s wonderful for puzzles.
Penguin: @Riddler I… am not sure what that means. But I’m glad we both love our strange, dangerous, odd, little city.
Oracle: If this isn’t the sweetest post and replies on this app, I don’t know what is;;;
Nightwing: @Oracle It definitely is, Ora. It makes me feel... hopeful.
