WCDE Gotham Radio
Show of hands, who remembers Ken Motley, morning DJ at WCDE “Motley in the Morning” back announcing a little ditty called The Rabbit Hole in The Dark Knight viral?
Those following the viral know that Ken is out of work after WCDE’s parent company put this guy, Coleman Reese, on the air threatening to reveal Batman’s identity and precipitating the bombing at Gotham General Hospital.
Ken is a little bitter, and a Citizen Against Batman in Episode 3, as the CABbies hunt the Dark Knight at gotham-after-dark.com

Preview: The Dark Knight Rises Score by Hans Zimmer
Those who follow me on Facebook know I’ve been having a little fun along the lines of…
Not saying I’m sick of The Dark Knight Rises preshow, but I did feel this morning was the time for some music that did not involve chanting of any kind.
Followed by some Ella Fitzgerald and Louis Armstrong, Arlo Guthrie, etc.
It’s good I got it out of my system, because today we got our first listen of the actual music of The Dark Knight Rises. Not the same old chanting, but a 30-second clip of each song from the official soundtrack.
Enjoy.
A Storm is coming
On Thin Ice
Gotham’s Reckoning
Mind if I Cut In
Underground Army
The Fire Rises
Nothing Out There
Despair
Fear Will Find You
Death by Exile
Imagine The Fire
Necessary Evil

The Rising Fire
THE place to be on GAME DAY
The Rising Fire is, quite simply, the oldest and many say the finest sports bar in Gotham. It’s named – as all football fans know – for the nickname of the feared and famous Gotham Rogues offensive line as well as the fan practice rallying them on by waving the distinctive yellow Rogue Rag in the stands, chanting for “the fire to rise.”
It’s an entirely different fire that rises at the bar, as a look at the menu will show: homemade mustard, burning hot wings, rising fire peppers and jalapeno nuggets.
It’s much more than the food, though, it’s the social atmosphere. If you can’t be in the Rogues Gallery at Gotham Stadium, The Rising Fire is simply THE place to be on GAME DAY.

I Believed in Harvey Dent
Did you believe in Harvey Dent? So did the latest Citizen Against Batman featured in the new installment of Gotham After Dark

I Believe in Selina Kyle
Readers who were with us in 2008 know that Cat-Tales went all out for The Dark Knight, mounting an elaborate alternate reality game that tied into the official viral campaign, and offered our more adventurous players a chance to taste the actual experience of being an ordinary person living in Gotham City. That was for a movie centered on Harvey Dent and Joker… right.
This is Selina, who looks a whole lot better in heels.
(No, I’m sorry, Jack, you don’t. Yes, I know you played Frankenfurter in high school, but none of us want to see the pictures… No… I said NO! Jack! Jack, down boy, down!)
Anyway, we had to do something special, unprecedented, and so… Welcome to the Gotham City of Christopher Nolan’s Dark Knight, Cat-Tales style…
Get into the spirit by visiting:
The Gotham Post
(Yes, THAT Gotham Post. This is really Chris talking, this is really
Cat-Tales. This is that Gotham Post. Go.)
GCN: Gotham City News
There’ve been some programming changes since the events of TDK
Wayne Enterprises
I really hope you know what that one is.
The Gotham Rogues
Not the Cat-Tale, the football team!
The Rising Fire
Best darn sports bar in the city
Got all that? Well, if you don’t want to take all that time (it’s worth it if you do!), you can go straight to

Magnus Rex
The Gotham Rogues are at it again. This time they’ve announced a movie called MAGNUS REX will be sponsoring something or other in the game against the Rapid City Monuments. Much as I want to rail against corporate sponsorship, I can’t here, because that’s simply the cutest bug-eyed quasi-cartoon dinosaur I’ve ever seen. Opens July 20, I’m there.

GCN: Can somebody tell Gotham City News to take a Midol
I understand that living where there’s free speech means that sometimes you get offended. I understand that not everyone shares my passionately pro-Batman bias. As an adult, I’m prepared to accept a lot of different points of view on an issue as complex as masked vigilantes.
But calling Batman “a hippie-communist-liberal-art student-internet hacker-immigrant-socialist” in one breath, and not five minutes later calling him a fascist tool of a right wing oligarchic state? When The Onion does this, it’s satire. When it’s GCN, I’ve had it. I have seriously HAD IT. Enough already. Gotham Cable news: TAKE A MIDOL. Batman exists. Get the f- over it.

Wayne Enterprises
Wayne Enterprises
I saw this when The Gotham Rogues football organization announced that Wayne Enterprises will be official sponsors of the coin toss for home games in the coming season. While I think corporate sponsorship of a COIN TOSS is pretty silly, I think this pic is very, very classy. Look what WE can do, indeed.

The Gotham Post
News, as it breaks, delivered straight to you.
Cat-Tales readers might not be the biggest fan of Gotham City’s largest and most widely-read newspaper, but they do get a few things right from time to time, and it’s definitely worth perusing now and then to keep up with the news.
