    There is, variously:

    1. Multiple Lazarus pits that are likely leaking into the water supply.
    2. The other magic resurrection place, Slaughter Swamp.
    3. A evil bat god (Barbatos) sealed in Gotham.
    4. The Hell portal under the Asylum.
    5. The Court of Owls secretly Illuminati’ing the place up.
    6. Dr. Gotham, an evil warlock who was sealed under Gotham for millennia, radiating evil.
    7. I wouldn’t be surprised if there was more then one company dumping shit into the water supply just to dodge having to pay to dispose of it properly, but compared to magical evil of varying degrees, it’s kind of a non-starter on the “This is why folks are nutso” chart.

    I mean, considering how many times villains have tried to poison the city’s water supply - I’d say there probably is.

    WaynePFASdumping ltd. & its subsidiaries created most villains, just so that the rich kid can have his silly little (totally non-furry) hobby.

    What are the lives of an entire city compared to the whims of the elite?

      That doesn’t explain it, Gotham has been doing crazy shit since before pfa were really a problem.

      My theory is that the Wayne family originally made their money like any other organized crime family, utilities.

      I propose that the Wayne family committed a historic amount of fraud in the early 20th century by installing cheap lead piping throughout the city’s water supply.

      The Wayne parents knew the family secret but were killed in a vengeance plot. By the time Bruce found out, he had already been drinking the leaded water for years, so his solution of personal violence was also batshit crazy.

      Imo the Batman is a crazy fail son that is doing his best to avoid a Purdue pharma like class action lawsuit. Driving him to become more and more violent towards the citizens he is trying to “save”.

    Last time this was posted a comic nerd gave a speech about how the…ummm…whatever pools contaminating shit. I never could get into comics but I like when nerds explain them.
