Time Dilation - Tumblr Posts

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.

I just got a notification congratulating me for my blog turning 5 years old.

I’ve literally been here less than a month.

Tumblr, are you okay? Do you know what time is anymore?

*Sigh* I love this stupid fae site
