Would you live in a three-bedroom apartment in Gotham City that costs $300 per month? That’s the question posed by a recent viral tweet that’s making the rounds on social media.
Here’s my view of the hypothetical, in case you’re interested: in the market suggested by this tweet, you could easily live in one of Gotham’s finest buildings on a regular salary. We’re talking penthouse at Wayne Tower type stuff.
Sure the risk is a bit higher but these supervillainous MFs seem more concerned with killing Batman than me. The fact of the matter is you can get hit by a bus in any city: life is guaranteed to no one regardless of the concrete jungle you reside in.
A 21-bedroom “apartment” for $2100 a month?! That’s less than I’m paying for a studio apartment right now. Bruce Wayne would be my neighbor — I’d be safe as hell! We become homies, tell him to tell Selina to bring a friend. So, yes, absolutely I’d make that move and hope for the best. At the very least, I’ll have a hell of a story to tell in heaven.
I seem to be in the minority, though, as a majority of the people who hilariously reacted to the tweet indicated that Gotham City would be the last place they’d want to settle down.

That said, if I did wind up calling Gotham City home, I’d certainly hope for a more Ben Affleck-type Batman than a Robert Pattinson Batman, or hell, even a Christian Bale Batman. If Gotham is going to be protected by a superhero, I want one that can go toe-to-toe with that boy scout over in Metropolis.
