Clock King - Tumblr Posts

I'm finding Batman villains, that aren't popular or well-known and I'm starting to love them... Especially the Clock King

So Batman first came out in 1939 in The Detective Comics (DC). Jim Gordon has been working with him just as long. Robin was introduced the following year.

Gotham exists within a weird time dilation due to the Clock King. It explains the meshing of different decades and their technologies throughout Gotham. It explains the weird time skips.

The reason people don't really go to Gotham is the overwhelming feeling of wrongness. (Gothamites have a hard time leaving for the same reason, trying to correct the time differences makes most of them feel ill). Batman's no-metas-in-Gotham rule isn't due to his hatred of metas (his best friend is a meta and so is one of his kids), it's because he had no idea if their powers will try to correct the time dilation (that would cause a doozy of issues in infrastructure and frankly more issues than it's worth)

Batman has been Batman-ing since 1939 but due to time shenanigans he is still about the same age.

"Why doesn't Batman fight crime during the day?"

Correct answer: He is shown crime fighting during the day many times in comics and shows! He also does a lot of the lab analysis during non-patrol hours! It is also important to maintain his public image.

Funniest answer (and therefore correct one): Batman has made a public announcement that he only works at night and to 'pretty please' not do crime during the day to respect his time and sleep. All of his villains agree because they are evil not MONSTERS.
