There's only one actual piece of "trivia", and it's the wholly uninteresting information that Gotham was named after a NYC jewelry store.

And it's only half true.

quote:

"Originally I was going to call Gotham City 'Civic City.' Then I tried 'Capital City,' then 'Coast City.' Then I flipped through the New York City phone book and spotted the name 'Gotham Jewelers' and said, 'That's it,' Gotham City. We didn't call it New York because we wanted anybody in any city to identify with it."-Bill Finger

"Gotham" has been a name for NYC since 1807 so the jewelry store was named after that and in turn the comic location was named after the store.

It doesn't surprise me in the least that Imgur/Reddit users are like most low-information conservatives in that they don't know/can't tell the difference between the Black Panther Party-- a Marxist civil rights group which has been defunct since the 80s-- and random "scary" black people.

You don't understand! If women and minorities get representation, they'll want respect next! After that, it's only a matter of time until they're in our schools, socializing with our children and drinking from our water fountains, can you think of a worse hell than that? It's hard to be a white male on the internet, standing up to all this SJW oppression.

This makes me despair at how people can be so stupid. It's an endearing tale about someone carving a hole in a mountain so that you can get to the local hospital, the facts are a little off in terms of the distance but no big deal. The comments though, jesus christ. Baring in mind this is in rural 50's India.

quote:

Couldn't just make a path over those tiny hills.

quote:

Seems it would be easier to start a hospital

quote:

Yea theres got to be some part thats not too hard to climb over

quote:

That doesn't look very big... was going OVER it like entirely impossible?

quote:

Seems like it would take less than 20 minutes to walk over that...

quote:

Would been faster to carve out some sort of footsteps.

Not to be a debbie downer, but that hill looks pretty climable

Yes because sick people mountain climb their way to hosptial all the time, It's like these people don't even WANT to get better expecting to drive there.

If there's two things imgur hates with an untold fury, it's people trying to tell them what they can't do and women with opinions. Being uncomfortable with corpses on your Facebook feed is wholly deserving of being doxxed and harassed to these people.
