I don\u2019t think that\u2019ll happen. Immunity to chemicals\/poisons tends to be built up in matters of small exposures (I think, not my field) and the villains would have to be using the same basic chemicals every time, not likely. You\u2019d also have to survive the prior exposures which seems not very Gotham~y. \u2014 Besides, it\u2019s a fictional city and that wouldn\u2019t make for a good story precedent to set, the citizens as immune to such a common plot point.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Now what\u00a0I\u2019d<\/i> like to see is the people of Gotham building an immunity\u00a0to widespread media panic<\/i> about said Joker Gas.<\/p>\n

It becomes like a pollen count on the weather. \u201cAnd today\u2019s expected Joker Toxin index is listed at 15.4, so make sure to put those breakable objects away on high shelves and put the kids to bed early, because this is going to be a bad one.\u201d<\/p>\n

And then the next panel shows an average family just matter-of-fact, getting the seatbelts (that they\u2019ve installed by now) and strapping themselves in while green and\/or purple clouds start filtering in through the window, so they\u2019re safely secured when they start to have painful hysterical fits.<\/p>\n

Every time the Joker breaks out, sporting goods stores have a BOGO sale on mouthguards.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Yes.<\/p>\n

And like certain cities I know of down South where there\u2019s a chemical depot, many citizens actually own gas masks and there\u2019s sirens for leaks.<\/p>\n

You wanna help out Bruce? Those gas masks that you and the Robins don to such good effect (until a villain knocks it off mid-fight), have Wayne Enterprises \u201cdevelop\u201d a cost-effective public version to sell since it\u2019s such a regular issue. How to keep your giant ass company in business and make your night job easier. Hell, given how regularly it comes up, the government would pay for it. They do in real life.<\/a><\/p>\n

I\u2019d love to see little things about how there\u2019s water filters commonly purchased advertised by being \u201cGotham-Grade\u201d or how it was tested and proven to filter out chemicals just like was used in the Scarecrow\u2019s last attack. Stuff like that.<\/p>\n

Immunity isn\u2019t likely, but companies capitalizing on the commonality of the threat, locals being desensitized to the repeated same threat situations \u2014 that\u2019s stuff I\u2019d buy.<\/p>\n

I grew up in North Alabama. \u2014 We are not going in the safe room yet, that tornado cell isn\u2019t close and it\u2019s gonna be really boring sitting in a closet with the battery operated radio. Just leave the weather coverage running on the TV and come help fix dinner. \u2014 You learn to read how much of an immediate issue commonly occurring dangers are and you take reasonable action without flipping out. It\u2019s part of the routine.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

“Honey, get back here and finish your dinner. You heard the radio; Killer Croc is two blocks south of here and going the wrong direction. Your food\u2019s getting cold.”<\/p>\n

This is exactly the kind of Gothamite I would expect.<\/b><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

“Channel 8 says the fight with Freeze is going on in Tribeca and headed towards the West Village, your school is not<\/i> going to be closed tomorrow. Now go write your report. You\u2019ll wish you had to deal with Batman if you bring home one more D in Mr. Jones class.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

People choose entertainment based on how nondescript the name and theme are, and places with giant smiling faces\/puns of ANY kind quickly go bankrupt. Street and buildings have been quietly renumbered so there are less 2s. Restaurants close on holidays and everyone has quiet meals indoors – Takeout places triple their business. Restaurants adapt by offering unnamed parallel days of celebration –<\/p>\n

‘Come in February 17th with your significant other. Enjoy a quiet, safe meal – our dining room features no unnecessary decorations, and our name has no unfortunate associations in the world’s 32 most common languages!’<\/p>\n

yes<\/a>\u00a0i want a gotham not crushed by murder and fear<\/a>\u00a0where people have adapted and are rarely in too much danger<\/a>\u00a0where businesses no longer have themes<\/a>\u00a0because theme criminals are so bad for business<\/a>\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n
