Batman Explains Why He'll Never Be Able To Save Gotham City
One of the things readers love about Batman comics is the fact that Gotham City is undeniably doomed, ensuring that its stories remain vast and endless. And, to reinforce this knowledge, Batman himself explains why he will never be able to save his city, in a new comic.
The new limited series Batman: Dark Patterns promises an in-depth exploration of the Dark Knight's early years as he tackles four mysterious cases and works to establish himself as protector of Gotham City.
In the recently released Batman: Dark Patterns #1, we see a voiceover from Bruce Wayne as he reflects on the dark and often senseless nature of the city he swore to protect. Despite his dedication, Batman recognizes that Gotham City will never be completely saved.
He laments the city's unchanging aspects, like children playing chicken with trains at Central Station—despite dozens of fatalities since the subway opened—or the ever-present reality of arson, whether from insurance fraud or reckless fun. .
And, in a phrase we've heard more than once, the Dark Knight himself, even at the beginning of his career, admits that "[he] can't save people from themselves." For Batman, Gotham's greatest challenge is its people's resistance to change, even when it's for their own good.
Ultimately, Gotham remains a dark pit of crime and danger because its inhabitants prefer it that way — and there's nothing Batman can do to change that.
