In Greek mythology, this is inhabited in a labyrinth that no one could escape, a perfect reflection of what Gotham represents in many of his stories: a city without exit, captured by corruption and darkness.

The choice of this classic myth adds levels of interpretation that could enrich the narrative of the comic.
