The Powers Club - Gotham Knights


Items of Import: 

  • Virginia Creeper Cutting; Parthenocissus quinquefolia, otherwise known as the Virginia Creeper 

A species of flowering vine from the family Vitaceae. Commonly mistaken for poison ivy, the Virginia Creeper is found in swamps and bottomlands across southeastern Canada and the eastern United States, including Gotham's own Slaughter Swamp, where creeping vines are the least of visitors' worries. Whatever goes on in the Swamp, it has clearly impacted the flora.

  • Gotham by Gaslight; History of Gotham City in the nineteenth century

The 1800s were a fascinating and tumultuous time in Gotham City. 

This popular history textbook explores multiple notable events throughout the century, including the tenement typhoid epidemic, the unsolved mystery of the Gotham graverobbers, and the story of the Runaway, one of the era's most interesting and elusive outlaws.

  • Statue of Athena; Sculpture of the Greek goddess of wisdom
A Roman replica of the original Greek sculpture of the goddess Athena, late fourth or early fifth century BCE. 

The patron goddess of the city-state of Athens, Athena was associated with wisdom, strategy, and warfare. Though the sculpture traditionally depicts Athena brandishing a spear, this altered figure depicts the goddess holding an owl, an image of wisdom and one of Athena's most recognizable symbols.
