Didn't matter if there were a hundred banks to hit in Missoula, someone's gonna try to outgun Wyatt Earp.<BR/><BR/>In the Americana stories, I've made a point of poking fun at the sheer numbers of crooks who come to town just to see if they can beat her... despite there only being six superheroes in the entire world, they just have to come.<BR/><BR/>Goofballs.KC Ryanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12119082068864429463noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-620417008960069715.post-26510665884838158132008-06-18T17:20:00.000-04:002008-06-18T17:20:00.000-04:00Since I don't read the Superman titles regularly a...Since I don't read the Superman titles regularly any more (haven't since Joe Kelly ruined them for me), I can only go by what is alluded to in <EM>Gotham Underground</EM>. There appears to have been a shake-up in Metropolis between the 100 (Whale's group) and Intergang (run by Bruno Mannheim). Whale decides that Gotham might be easier to take over, now that it is in a bit of disarray after the Black Mask fell from power as Gotham's big gang leader. Plus, if I had to chose between super-powered heroes and regular heroes, I'd take my hi-tech 100 agents and try my hand at Gotham.<BR/><BR/>Though, I see your point. Albany is a good target. Either that or Sheboygan. ;)Martin Maenzahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08640466353011569116noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-620417008960069715.post-49047107149275715812008-06-18T13:50:00.000-04:002008-06-18T13:50:00.000-04:00Nowwhy - WHY - would Tobias Whale move from Metrop...Nowwhy - WHY - would Tobias Whale move from Metropolis to GOTHAM?<BR/><BR/>I mean.... WHY? <BR/><BR/>Aside from the sheer number of supercriminals that seem to hang out there, there's the friggin' Batman to consider! And Robin. And Batgirl. And Batwoman. And Batfrog, for all I know.<BR/><BR/>Why not go after some innocuous city like Albany or something?<BR/><BR/>Do these crooks take a stupid pill or what? <BR/><BR/>:)KC Ryanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12119082068864429463noreply@blogger.com
