I wonder if this has anything to do with why they chose Wollaton Hall for Wayne manor in Dark Knight Returns? 🙂

I often wonder if madness is the highest form of wisdom

As a Gotham resident I am thrilled with this production. I am definitely going to share it with all my friends I told about the connection but never believed me!

@Nottsflix 4 года назад

Thank you so much for your comment and for sharing! I'm very happy you enjoyed it

I thought there was part of the link in the roof of the pump?

I absolutely love this channel having lived in notts my whole life and also Batman being my fave superhero!! Such a history nerd and realised I didn't know much about my own citys history so searched and stumbled on this absolute gem. Please continue making videos. New favourite channel :D

I always wondered if the story of Kings John's road was invented by the descendants of the Gotham Fools to justify what really happened, their lunatic ancestors really were crazy! (Ex-resident of Gotham here LOL)

@Nottsflix 4 года назад

I must admit, I did wonder that myself

@nickeyre3400 4 года назад

It's a great little place. Still have friends there and visit the Cuckoo Bush on occasion. Walking the West Leake hills above Gotham is also a favourite. The ancient barrow with Fairy tale connections is a splendid spot up there.

This should have way more views just based on the thumbnail alone!

The fools of Gotham can't have put King John off too much. He just went further north to Clipstone to build his hunting lodge. Another great video. Well done

When I first saw it on my way to Loughborough, I just shrugged it off saying could be just a coincidence. I’m delighted to discover indeed Batman’s Gotham City is connected to Gotham, Nottingham thru Washington Irving.

@petedemaio168 2 года назад

Great history as always!! Love this story!!

@nottinghasm 3 года назад

Utterly brilliant. Great to see Bill Finger referenced in relation to Batman, too, he’s often overlooked.

@Realm-of-Horror 4 года назад

I always thought the name was coincidental and "Gotham" was chosen because the city's gothic look in the earlier comics.

@Nottsflix 4 года назад

That's what I'd assumed as well until I learnt about the Gotham Fools

@Nottscavedweller 3 года назад

Really interesting stuff 👌🏼 looking forward to seing more .😊

@Nottsflix 3 года назад

Thankyou! I have many more videos planned, just need the time to make them all!

@rogeraisha9276 8 месяцев назад

@wonkylommiter6364 4 года назад

Love your videos! Subscribed. any more in progress to show us soon??

@Nottsflix 4 года назад

I'm deep into the research for the next video. It's on quite a big topic and will be quite in depth, but I'm really excited about it. Hoping to have the script finished soon and then it shouldn't be too long for the video to be done!

@wonkylommiter6364 4 года назад

@@Nottsflix Nice one, good luck with it, look forward to it :-)

@DumpsterFlower 4 года назад

Excellent video as always! Never knew there was a real Gotham!

@Nottsflix 4 года назад

Thankyou! Yeah, it feels like on of those fun facts which should be more well known. Even around Nottinghamshire a lot of people know about the village but don't know about the weird causal link between it and Batman's city.
