New Orleans Gotham City Has Its Own Batman Superhero
Carol Forsloff
Can a Superhero help this devastated city and bring peace to crime-ridden
neighborhoods?
Vote it up!
Here comes Batman, a real, live World Superhero into New Orleans, swooping into
neighborhoods in his dark costume and ready to take on the bad guys anytime.
The guy in New Orleans is an actual, registered superhero, a member of a World
Superhero Registry. It takes lot for a fellow to be one, and New Orleans has
only a single registered superhero in the entire metropolitan area. But that
should be enough. What’s more our guy is the only superhero registered in the
entire State of Louisiana, so he’s responsible not just for New Orleans, but
for Lafayette, the State Capitol, Baton Rouge, Shreveport and even my town of
Natchitoches, Louisiana in the north central part of the State as well as all
the towns and cities in between.
“Nostrum,” as the World Superhero calls himself, lives in New Orleans and has
his own MySpace profile. Well, how else could the citizens of Gotham contact
him, after all? His profile on MySpace says it all, “there is right, and there
is wrong, nothing more.” Talk about strong and silent, well almost silent, but
certainly a fellow of few words.
The New Orleans online paper asked to interview “Nostrum,” but he didn’t
respond to the request. It’s likely he wants to keep his identity disguised. He
may be Mayor Ray Nagin, after all, taking care of the city by day and arrayed
in a hero’s costume by night. Nah, most folks would rather have Aaron Neville
because the lad can sing and has the body to intimidate as well. But who knows
for sure?
For those who want to join “Nostrum” the sign up page is here. Understand there
are terms and conditions for joining because these folks live in the shadow of
the law, on the fringes where identities are kept secret and where activities
do not always correspond to the usual and customary ways of crime fighting.
Since New Orleans hardly has any crime fighting, according to its statistics as
the city with the highest crime rate of the nation, who would mind a couple of
fellows who cross the line just a bit in apprehending the bad guys.
In the meantime the modern Gotham, alias the Crescent City, also known as
Chocolate City, needs to know that somewhere there is a great hero waiting to
rescue the people from harm. No one knows for sure when he will show up, but
hopefully next time there’s a crime wave---like tomorrow.
