I know, you're right, but I've always felt that what Gotham lacked was a good Red Light District. A fun one. Let people go to Crime Alley if they wanna get shot.

Their might have been one in Frank Miller or Tim Burton’s Gotham, but not in this serial.

Oh definitely. In Miller and David Mazzucchelli's YEAR ONE, wasn't Selina Kyle basically a hooker?

I'm a fan of that stupid Bogart movie and this is the first thing that has ever got me interested in The Rocketeer.

One thing I'll say for it--both Dave Stevens, who created the original comic book character, and the film's director Joe Johnston, wore their references on their sleeves, and their references were pretty damn cool.
