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
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!
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
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)
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.
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.
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!
Apparently Michael Keaton and Christian Bale have been spotted in this wee place. With Michael Caine donning his Butler's uniform as Alfred. Rumour has it that there's a big underground cave that stores some strange looking automobiles as well as some highly unusual clothing.😜 I JEST, OF COURSE - just a wee bit of fun. Although I dare say the residents of the wee village are probably sick and tired of such humour.😳
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.
I wonder if this has anything to do with why they chose Wollaton Hall for Wayne manor in Dark Knight Returns? 🙂

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 often wonder if madness is the highest form of wisdom

Utterly brilliant. Great to see Bill Finger referenced in relation to Batman, too, he’s often overlooked.
This should have way more views just based on the thumbnail alone!

I must admit, I did wonder that myself

@@Nottsflix Nice one, good luck with it, look forward to it :-)
thank you for the video! very informative
I always thought the name was coincidental and "Gotham" was chosen because the city's gothic look in the earlier comics.
That's what I'd assumed as well until I learnt about the Gotham Fools

Yes their really is a Gotham. Worked there once. Just like any other English village.
Excellent video as always! Never knew there was a real Gotham!

"goatem"😂 callbacks of hc8!!
Another top video
Weird.
The mad fools are really the wise men, sounds like our prime minister.
Lol, don't think I'd agree with you there.
Whilst I enjoyed your Batman outfit, I would have loved to have seen you dressed as Goatman.
Wait that sounds dodgy
I take it back
I just wanted to make a "Goatman" joke I swear
Oh god no
Oh I once encountered a guy in Nottingham who started hopping backwards and doing 360 spins on the spot. I guess he was just from Gotham...
@@PiousMoltar If I do end up wearing a terrifying Goatman costume in a future video, just know that it is your fault
Second! (But only because I was in class when this dropped)
This is just a tom scott video tho
