BATMAN- THE HILL
Following an incident on the Hill, a predominantly black area of Gotham, James Gordon is heavily criticised by the press for his inability to maintain law and order there. Batman also finds it difficult to have any effect there, as the people (particularly Korlee, the prime mover and shaker in the Hill's criminal world) do not believe that he exists in any meaningful way. Working separately, they are able to bring Korlee down, but cannot help but feel as though they have failed the Hill.
The Hill was once one of the poorest and most crime-ridden areas of an already pretty dangerous city. It has recently begun gentrifying, attracting new businesses and middle-class transplants from more affluent areas of the city, to the annoyance of long-time residents.[1] However, it is still home to a significant criminal element, from a major street gang known as the Hills Angels to lower-level supervillains.
