Let's start with Gotham basics. Who is Cyrus Pinkney ?

Cyrus Pinkney was the architect who originated the "Gotham Style" of architecture. Most of Old Gotham was designed by him.

Little is known about Cyrus Pinkney. After appearing in the court of Solomon Wayne as an assault victim, he then showed Judge Wayne his portfolio of architectural sketches. The drawings, based on religious beliefs, inspired the Judge greatly. Wayne then went forth promoting them.

Pinkney died while still a young man, on the eve of his fortieth birthday.

-And what is Old Gotham ? Is that the place where we roam as Batman?

Yes.

Old Gotham City is a large architectural scheme for Gotham City designed by Cyrus Pinkney and promoted by Judge Solomon Wayne.

Pinkney died while still a young man, on the eve of his fortieth birthday. Solomon Wayne lived to be 104, long enough to see all his dreams realized; Gotham City became the bustling hub of industry he had imagined. But it also bacame a haven for crime, known more for it's poverty, the squalidness of its slums and the utter corruption of its government than for commercial and cultural achievements. On his deathbed, Solomon Wayne said, "I wished to lock evil out of men's neighborhoods and hearts. I fear that instead I Have given it the means to be locked in."
