Old Gotham Cathedral (Gotham Intel) - Batman: Arkham Origins (2013)

This Old Gotham Cathedral was designed by Cyrus Pinkney with the financial backing of Judge Solomon Wayne. The judge was a religious man and erecting the church was among the first architectural projects he and Pinkney worked on together. Once complete, it became the centrepiece of the growing city. Though the cathedral was well-received, and though he was certainly happy with the result, Pinkney would be quick to point out that his other projects had a more broad appeal against Gotham citizenry.

For Solomon, the Church was one of his proudest life accomplishments. He was often invited to give guest sermons from the pulpit and was happy to oblige. The force of his deep, bellowing voice was said to compel confessions from even the most hardened criminals with earshot, and to keep folk who might otherwise be tempted into wickedness on the straight and narrow - for fear of having that voice unleashed on them.
