There is, variously:

  1. Multiple Lazarus pits that are likely leaking into the water supply.
  2. The other magic resurrection place, Slaughter Swamp.
  3. A evil bat god (Barbatos) sealed in Gotham.
  4. The Hell portal under the Asylum.
  5. The Court of Owls secretly Illuminati'ing the place up.
  6. Dr. Gotham, an evil warlock who was sealed under Gotham for millennia, radiating evil.
  7. I wouldn't be surprised if there was more then one company dumping shit into the water supply just to dodge having to pay to dispose of it properly, but compared to magical evil of varying degrees, it's kind of a non-starter on the "This is why folks are nutso" chart.

I'm beginning to think that Gotham isn't a good place to live.

Regarding item 7, Batman Returns had Christopher Walken's character illegally dumping toxic waste, so yeah, there's at least one known case.

Also Begins had Scarecrow dumping stuff into the water.

We should just nuke gotham tbh

Well there was the time that Gotham got kicked out of America during the Lex Luthor presidency.

[-] VinnyDaCat@lemmy.world 2 points 1 month ago

In how many universes has Lex been president? I remember as a kid there was one where he won the presidency and had the flash executed. Superman responds by going full authoritarian and executing him in return.

A Hell portal? So unlimited free heat energy? Gotham could be generating free power for everyone just off steam turbines. What kind of mismanaged bullshit city is this?

[-] VindictiveJudge@lemmy.world 2 points 1 month ago

I played Doom 4. I know where this is going.

[-] TargaryenTKE@lemmy.world 4 points 1 month ago

Not to mention the half-dozen times the Joker tried to poison Gotham by putting Joker Toxin in the water supply

[-] Donkter@lemmy.world 4 points 1 month ago

Lol I like the thought that even though we see Batman stop Joker hundreds of times, one time Joker really did succeed and as a prank just put a smidge of toxin into the supply.
