InBatman Beyond : Neo - Year # 5by Collin Kelly , Jackson Lanzing , and Max Dunbar , the new Terry McGinnisis forced to deal with the fact that ' the Sword of Gotham ' are actually citizens of the urban center itself , who have had their minds twisted into vehement agents of Gotham due to nanotechnology quiet implanted into their body . But how could a malevolent intelligence infect casual people with a gadget imply to transform them into baneful threats ? The answer is familiar , and once again highlights the decisive failing in Gotham ’s infrastructure : Gotham put the nanotechnologyinto the metropolis ’s weewee supply instead .
It ’s kind of strange that the piss supply is still a vulnerability in Gotham ’s infrastructure in the future turn over how many times it ’s been tap in the past . On several occasions , Joker has used the water supplyto disperse his toxin throughout the city . Also , as seen inBatman Begins , Scarecrow used the water supply as a delivery mechanism for his fear gas . One would think that after so many villain have broken into the water supply in the past , Gotham would ultimately up the security department .
Then again , in this plot line it is Gotham itself that is doing the exploiting . So it makes sense from a logistical standpoint . If anyone would know how best to fudge the citizens of Gotham it would be the living embodiment of this city itself . Gotham would lie with its own weakness and vulnerabilities and if it were to try and infect its own population in the most effective way of life possible then of class it would apply the same means as villains have in the past . But still , it ’s quite bizarre that even inBatman Beyond ’s time all these yr laterthat same helplessness is still around .
