Of course, he'd heard a little about Gotham's notorious reputation. But a con man has to believe in his own skills, right?
Interviewer: "Gotham has the highest crime rate in America. How would you respond to people who criticize the city for that?"
Fuaode: "As everyone knows, New York has the highest death rate in America."
New York: Are you taking a shot at us?
Interviewer: "Good answer. Next question: When you see people online badmouthing Gotham, saying things like the Blackgate Bridge gets blown up twice a year, what would you do?"
Fuaode: "I think the Blackgate Bridge explosions, a signature Gotham attraction, are just publicity stunts to boost its ranking among the world's most famous bridges for bridge enthusiasts."
"And let's not forget, the Blackgate Bridge is replaced so often that it has broken world records. Doesn't that prove Gotham residents are eager for new things?"
Interviewer: "Last question. If you could choose a goodwill ambassador for Gotham, who would it be?"
Fuaode: "Compared to our bald police commissioner and mayor, I believe more people would like the ship pairing Gotham's prince, Bruce, with the Dark Knight, Batman."
Interviewer: "Excellent. You're hired."
Much later.
Metropolis: How did Gotham become the most livable city in the world?!
Gotham: You should see how good our publicity is.
