Downtown Gotham was filled with Halloween decorations. It seemed like every shop had set up fake cobwebs or paper spiders or whatever else the various store employees believed to be a festive holiday display. Pumpkins, real or fake, were ubiquitous (though Damian still wasn't sure what they had to do with coffee of all things.)
On the surface, it looked harmless. An innocent festival for everyone to enjoy but Gotham never did anything by half measures and the city's shadows almost always had teeth. Besides, it was kind of ridiculous. Damian ducked slightly as a mobile of plastic bats swooped down above his head. The convenience store would have been better spending its time tending to the state of the floors than hanging kitsch from the ceiling.
At least they didn't make the candy hard to find. Damian turned down the holiday aisle and glanced over the array of pumpkin shaped candy, face paint sets, plastic jack'o'lanterns and all the rest. There were even prepackaged costumes hanging in plastic bags. There seemed to be all the staples: a cowboy, a policeman, a few pop culture trends he didn't immediate recognized (left shark?), and then a smattering of superheroes outfits.
Well, at least someone in this marketing scheme had a hint of taste.
