The site

Upon Batman's emergence as a beacon of hope for Gotham citizens, Gotham authorities are equally adamant about his arrest due to his unlawful vigilante activities. Citizens for Batman is a group of people who regularly get together in support of Batman.

DON'T LET CITY HALL ARREST BATMAN! It’s like a bad dream. Gotham citizens are under attack. We’ve been attacked, robbed, knifed, assaulted, even murdered. THEN BATMAN APPEARS For the first time, we have hope. Batman proves we can fight back against the sociopaths, thugs, and scum that have ruled Gotham for too long. And now, City Hall wants to arrest Batman! FIGHT BACK, FIGHT FOR BATMAN Batman has given us hope back. He’s given us back a sense of power over our own lives. He’s saved lives. Now, Batman needs our help! Don’t let Batman be arrested. Don’t let the politicians and the corrupt cops win. Don’t give in to crime and corruption.

Meeting times

Thursdays, 8pm Gotham City Community Center #5 1310 Adams Street, Downtown (moved from Rossi’s Deli) Sundays, 1PM St. Swithun's Church

A new update is added to the News section:

BATMAN does it again! He saves another innocent Gothamite from the clutches of evil! Citizens for Batman has invited his latest rescue, Ulyana Kasparkova, to the next meeting to share with us her incredible story! Don’t miss it! Here’s what we know – Ulyana was walking down Fleeting Avenue last Thursday. Suddently, ski-masked thugs came out of nowhere and pulled out a pistol! Then, Batman swooped in, with a classic lasso and hoist (a move he has employed at the docks, and using trees, at Harlow Park) . Batman roped the gunman and left him dangling from a light pole for police to pick up later! Kasparkova has accepted our invite and will tell all! She also works as a dental technician and is expected to offer Citizens for Batman discounts on teeth cleaning! Way to go, Ulyana!!!!!

Four new updates are added to the News section:

King James Bible (Psalms 8:2), "Out of the mouths of babes and sucklings hast thou ordained strength because of thine enemies, that thou mightest still the enemy and the avenger." Whether young or old, black or white, rich or poor, the citizens of Gotham have placed our trust in Batman!

BATMAN BRINGS HOPE TO SKID ROW Life is tough for the vagrants in the rat-infested streets of Q5; violence, drugs and ok. The area is one of the worst in the city, but that didn't scare Batman! "He swooped down from that buildin' ova' there!" said one guy that CFB talked to. "One minute, I'm getting' pushed around by a couple a' punk kids, and the next minute he's savin' my hide. What a guy!" Batman saves the day!

ALL ABOARD! Spread the word: the Gotham Monorail is open for business. The city's daily commuters took to the underground subway system with a renewed sense of confidence last Wednesday. And Citizens For Batman know why – cuz of Batman! "I used to be scared to take public transportation," admitted Maxine Fleiner-Baer, a member of CFB since the beginning. "But, who needs to worry with a strapping hero like [Batman] watching over us?" Who needs to worry? I'll tell you who: anyone who crosses the strong arm of the law. And, no, I'm not talking about the crooked cops of this festering berg; I'm talking about Batman. Beware, evildoers, because the subway belongs to the citizens once again!

THE NEXT GENERATION OF BAT-FANS 11-year-old Francisco Gracia-Godinez won the citywide essay contest with his report entitled, "We Owe Our Life to Batman." The 500-word effort details how Frank and his family barely avoided a gruesome death at the hands of the Gambol crime syndicate recently. "He's the bravest man I've ever seen," little Franky said. "Even braver than my dad, the president and the whole army, too."

Forums

On April 9, 2008, the Citizens for Batman message board went online. Players cannot join the forums, but can read the threads. It has been suggested that the forums spoof the Superhero Hype! message boards, a popular discussion place for the Dark Knight ARG.

THE BAT CLUBHOUSE

Poster: SewerMutant Monday, April 7th, 2008 at 09:46 Post about Batman sightings in the press, like The Gotham Times had that great photo of Batman a few weeks ago where he was at that festival with the crazy weird name and he's by the telephone pole. It's righteous.

Poster: Tadarida Monday, April 7th, 2008 at 11:08 Can we post video?

Poster: Sidekick Monday, April 7th, 2008 at 13:43 You've got VIDEO? POST IT!

Poster: Tadarida Tuesday, April 8th, 2008 at 01:03 I don't have vidoe, I just want to know if people can post it to the forum.

Poster: Sidekick Tuesday, April 8th, 2008 at 09:58 You r lame.

Poster: dark-witness Tuesday, April 8th, 2008 at 10:39 it's a fair question someone will get it eventually

Poster: Ns 18 Tuesday, April 8th, 2008 at 10:52 Probably not.

Poster: dark-witness Tuesday, April 8th, 2008 at 11:03 someone will have a cell phone and get video

Poster: Ns 18 Tuesday, April 8th, 2008 at 11:14 Batman works at night. He specializes in the element of surprise he shows up when a crime is going on when people are engaged in violence.

Poster: Amanita Tuesday, April 8th, 2008 at 12:27 Ns18 people have gotten pictures of him and people got video of that guy that was beat up by the cops at night.

Poster: Ns 18 Tuesday, April 8th, 2008 at 12:29 Batman doesn't want anyone to see him. Just catch glimpses.

Poster: Scramble Tuesday, April 8th, 2008 at 14:21 Amanita is right. It might take awhile, but the Times has gotten photos of Batman.
