South Burnside appeared in the episode Wrath of the Villains: Transference and in the tie-in novel Gotham: City of Monsters by Jason Starr. In this continuity, Burnside was the borough where Fish Mooney crashed a bus of Indian Hill monsters after she escaped from Arkham Asylum. Penguin, Butch Gilzean and several other criminals who thought the bus was driven by Hugo Strange then confronted her underneath a viaduct.
