Why this must be read:

I have a soft spot for original characters, and for cities, and for unusual perspectives on events. With a light, deft touch, Miarrow crafted a Five Things story that beautifully combines these events to convey a real sense of life in gritty, gorgeous Gotham, and lets us know that Gotham's got many heroes who don't wear capes.

I’ve seen the Batman catch. Sure I have. Plenty of times.

Well anyway, the Police are already here trying to talk the jackass down. Jackass, or Aztec or whatever he’s calling himself, isn’t going to and brandishes a stick that probably shoots out lightning or engine oil or whatever. The important thing is that he drops the kid.

Drops. The. Kid.

Even he looks surprised.

Not as surprised as me, however. Because I jump off after the little brat.

Me.

I. Sell. Shoes.

But like I said, it’s Gotham.
