Okay, so today I decided to dive into something I’ve been meaning to mess with for a while – building a simple “Gotham” inspired project. Think, dark, gritty, maybe a little bit… heroic? Let’s get into it.
The Idea
First, I brainstormed. What makes Gotham, Gotham? It’s the atmosphere, right? The feeling of a city on the edge, needing someone to step up. I figured I could try to capture that feeling with… well, code, and visuals.
Setting Up
I started by setting up a basic project structure. Nothing fancy, just a folder with an HTML file, a CSS file, and a JavaScript file. I like to keep things simple at first.
The Look
Then I went working on the visual. I opened up my . I knew I wanted a dark background, some stark contrasts. I picked a really dark gray, almost black, for the body background.
Next, I added some basic styling to a container div in my HTML. I gave it a lighter gray background, some padding, and rounded corners. It’s nothing special, but it’s a start. Just playing around with colors, you know?
Making it Interactive
Now for the fun part – I wanted add a button, so I added it to the HTML file. You click it, and… something happens. I wrote a simple JavaScript function that changes the text of a paragraph when you click the button.

Bringing It All Together
Finally, I linked everything up. CSS in the <head>, JavaScript at the bottom of the <body>. I hit refresh in my browser and… there it was! Okay, it’s super basic, but it’s something.
It’s not going to win any awards, but I managed to create a very, very simple “Gotham” inspired page. It’s got the dark theme, and a little bit of interactivity. It’s a starting point, right?
This whole thing took me, like, an hour, maybe? It’s proof that you don’t need to spend days on something to start feeling it out. I’m probably going to keep tweaking this, adding more elements, maybe even some images or something. But for now, I’m calling it a win. It’s my little corner of Gotham, and it works!
