#360. I am the batman. this is my city. at night it belongs to me.
I'm not going to present you with a fairy-tale image of Gotham. It's a hard luck town. It always has been. It's a place of dark tragedies and bitter ironies. A city of deep shadows and sharp contrasts. A city that touches everyone who lives there. For good and bad. I see Gotham as an anvil. One is broken or tempered on it. So many trials. So much misfortune. So little hope. But some thrive there. Gothamites are a tough breed. They're proud of their town and their talent for living in it. Maybe Gotham is inspiring in its own way. Inspiration spurred by fear. Or something even darker. But despite their troubles and their setbacks, Gothamites keep going.
#01. O DEATH | jen titus
when God is gone and the Devil takes hold,
who will have mercy on your soul
#02. IF YOU WERE THERE, BEWARE | arctic monkeys
go on girl go on, give us something gruesome
we require your grief, the thugs help the thieves
as they're trying to rob the words from her gob
take the source of the innocents
#03. TINY LITTLE ROBOTS | cage the elephant
it's a new creation, total domination
chains across your shoulders, social captivation
kill our leaders, persecute our teachers
criticize our culture, crucify free thinkers
#04. CONSCIENCE KILLER | black rebel motorcycle club
no it don't mean all that much to us boy
we never really had a choice
we're conscience killers
#05. SOME BOYS | death cab for cutie
some boys are sleeping, some boys are sleeping alone
cause there's no one that's keeping them warm through evening
they know that they're on their own
#06. LITTLE SHADOW | yeah yeah yeahs
closer, shadow, volume strikes
still we're caught between all this sorrow, little shadow
to the night, will you follow me?
#07. PRETTY VISITORS | arctic monkeys
all the pretty visitors came and waved their arms
and cast the shadow of a snake pit on the wall
#08. YOU DON'T OWN THE ROAD | the kills
you don't own the green pines,
the blue sky, or the smoke
you don't own the dust in your
big brown eyes when you keep them closed
#09. BLEEDING OUT | imagine dragons
when the sky turns gray
and everything is screaming
i will reach inside
just to find my heart is beating
#10. DEVIL'S WAITIN | black rebel motorcycle club
I've seen the battle and I've seen the war
and the life out here is the life I've been sold
#11. TONIGHT TONIGHT | the smashing pumpkins
and you know you're never sure
but you're sure you could be right
if you held yourself up to the light
and the embers never fade in your city by the lake
