For anyone who might be wondering, do not feed those moth things. Unless you want a cuddly, slightly spooky, glittery buddy to follow you everywhere. And boy does that powdery stuff from their wings get everywhere. I look like I've been through a craft store explosion.

If giant rats were not bad enough, now there are these flying bug things. And they are fuzzy and huge and disgusting.

We are going to need an extremely large amount of insect repellent in New York. Or an unusually competent exterminator.

Okay guys and gals, I think the time has come to take stock of some things. From what I can tell by asking around, there seem to be people that mostly fall in two camps: Those who live in a world where Metropolis and Gotham are real cities, and those who don't. Now would be a great time to check in and let us know which world you're from. Bonus points for any extra details about your world that you could share. It seems that things from both worlds have merged, but I'm still trying to sort out what's what and who's who. And I imagine I'm not the only one trying to figure this all out. So let's help each other. You scratch my back, I'll scratch yours sort of thing.

And also, do we have an official name for the New York/Gotham City hybrid that's cropped up? My vote's for New Gotham, personally. Gotham York just doesn't have the same ring to it.

This summer is lasting longer than the one on Game of Thrones, and that's saying something. I feel like the Stark family may have been lying to us this whole time.

Well,thank whatever powers are up there for this sudden downpour.

Who wants to dance in the rain with me?

I take back everything I ever said about Gotham winters. I could do with a subzero windchill right about now.

How's everyone doing out there? Everyone staying hydrated enough? Please keep us in the loop if you need anything, or if you come across a neighborhood in need. We're doing the best we can to get to those who are in danger, but we can't help if we don't know what's going on.

ULTRA SUPER MEGA IMPORTANT!

Has anybody seen my sweet ride!

My poor baby vespa is out there all alone in this big scary world! It's super important that she is returned to me. I last parked her inside the new Vespa dealership next to a row of three others.

Oh and if the manager starts yelling at you about needing to pay for it before driving off the lot. Ignore that, he just wants the reward money all to himself.

Yes kiddies you heard that right, Reward money! Pleasepaymeonlyincash.

I know we're all focused on the vermin problem and the squishy-universes problem, but can we take a minute to discuss how awesome this reality is for retro movie buffs right now? There's a Mad Max sequel out. There's a Jurassic Park sequel out. The next Star Wars movie comes out this year and it might actually be good.

I came back to the best Earth. This is the brightest timeline. If anybody needs me, I'll be marathoning. Break glass in case of emergency, you know the drill.

All right. Who is out there, and what are we doing about these gigantic rat things? Sounds like they're all over, so I think it's time to organize some teams to protect as many areas as we can manage.
