#gothtopia

My 18th Batwoman commission is by emmilions on Twitter 🥰 the concept was Kate confronting the Brightbat persona she had in a particular Gotham mini-event called Gothtopia in which everyone in the Batfamily had become heroes in a bright, more innocent “utopia” version of Gotham City. I always wanted to make a custom funko of Brightbat but I never got around to it.

"Your new life is horrible." "No! Your life was." "You were always chasing money. You stole from people. You had no friends. You kept Batman away from us." "Batman loves me." "Batman wanted to change us. That's not love. Try to remember who we are." "I know who I am! I fight crime. I have friends." "Friends? You have no friends. You have partners in crime. Heist partners. Wheelmen. Safecrackers. Thieves. Pickpockets. Confidence men. Escape artists. Hackers. Hustlers. Not friends." - Catwoman Vol 4 #27(2014)

"I only remember fragments. Bits and pieces. But I remember one thing I can't shake. When Scarecrow changed Gotham... we were partners... more than partners. And we were happy." "That Gotham wasn't real, Catwoman. Scarecrow messed with your mind. Made you see what you wanted to see." "But... didn't you see it, too?" "I saw a safe Gotham. Nothing else." - Detective Comics Vol 2 #29(2014)

"Fear experiments? Scarecrow's unleashed a toxin to make people content. That puts them in a happy world of lies." "Only because he thinks it leads to a more pure type of fear. Think about it, Batman. Take away the day-to-day worries of the average Gothamite. Worried about their job, their love life, whether they're going to be stuck in traffic and miss their dentist appointment. Take away a person's average, daily, petty fears and then subject them to the most intense, abject fear imaginable." - Detective Comics Vol 2 #28(2014)

'Gotham City, America's safest city, America's happiest city, an almost completely crime-free utopia where dreams come true, and everyone leads the life they want to lead. A place of sunny skies, safe streets, gleaming skyscrapers, and brightly costumed heroes. This is Gotham City. This has always been Gotham City. And if you want to survive, you have to believe...' - Detective Comics Vol 2 #27(2014)

Batman and his crew were hailed as heroes instead of vigilantes and looked at as inspirations like Superman to Metropolis. Turns out #Gothtopia was another version of Scarecrow's hallucinogen effecting Batman's perception on reality. :( . #bangerang8_art #batfamily #batmanfanart #batmanvsuperman #batmancostume #batmanart #batman #dcnew52 #dccomics #dcrebirth #dceu #dcuniverse #gotham #new52 #thenew52 #caricature #dawnofjustice #doj #bvs #unitetheseven #drawingaday #comicbookday #brucewayne #detectivecomics (at Los Angeles, California)
