Gotham City, as of a twelve months ago has been declared the safest city in the world. Twelve months ago marks the day of the final battle, the day when Batman and his team brought all its villains down to its knees.
It wasn't an easy battle....definitely not. The result of it? Several casualties and about twenty-two declared dead. The casualties was a result of the Two Face's impulsive decisions to hold hostages. But in the end it all worked out.
While Batman stood tall, probably limping slightly, followed by his team mates, all injured in some form or another, the city looked towards their vigilantes in hope for a new tomorrow, one far more secure than reality.
25th March came to be known as Day of the Fallen, as tribute to all those who had been injured or lost their lives.
While the vigilantes, accompanied the civilians in their celebrations, the criminals were transported to be jailed in Arkham.
Soon came the day of their trial.
Every single one of them: the Joker, Two- Face, the Riddler, Scarecrow, the Penguin and Poison Ivy were publicly tried and declared to be guilty under charges of murder or crime.
But what enraged the citizens was when the court played a card, they didn't know existed. They were charged under Sadistic Personality Disorder, which meant that they won't face jail time, but instead be submitted to psychological treatment under strict supervision with zero punishment.
Protests rang from all corners of the street, from heroes and citizens alike. And it was during these protests that the government did something, they should have done a long time ago: take security measures. Because as of 28th May, every street in Gotham was under the supervision of cameras with stronger and more efficient police forces. Let's not forget how the vigilantes that took care of the city were forced to go into exile.
Overall, the city was in good shape. Kind of like a presidential rule.
And that is how the city came to be known as the world's safest city within the short two months of security.
But all of this changed that day. The first celebration of the Day of the Fallen.
