That not what I'm asking.


Was a called "Gotham"?


NY got 1k nicknames.

Yeah, Gotham is one of those nicknames. I've heard that the Gotham nickname goes back to the 1800s.

Washington Irving called NYC Gotham back in the early 1800s.

As far as Gotham and NYC goes, thats been a nickname for NYC for hundreds of years. Its one of NY's many nicknames.

Gotham City in DC comics was always based off of NYC. Given they do fictional cities for their main cities they did move it around the country though. It was in ny state then NJ, then ****ing Delaware then in the same state as Metropolis. They've been vague about that for reasons.

In more modern times, Gotham City has been a stand in for other cities like Chicago but the main reason for that is the high crime rate, murder rate, corruption, etc. that was reminiscent of vintage NYC.

That's because New York as a whole is a lot cleaner now than it was in the 80s. It's gonna be hard for any production team to make it look like The Warriors.

Just save garbage and hire some grafitti artists

Also some of this was shot in Jersey. It still looks like poor NYC 70s and trashy NYC 80s in some parts there

I argued with a friend that Gotham is based on NYC but he said Gotham is based on Chicago a few years ago

Isn’t it both? Or either?

And moreso one or the other depending on who is in charge

Gotham is actually Jersey. And Metropolis is NY .

 

[KingParappa]

Always thought Metropolis was NYC in the day time and Gotham was NYC at night

I mean bruhs....it’s Joaquin Phoenix....that dude has always been picky with his roles and goes in 1000000000% he’s one of those actors

 

[ricardo malta]

I always thought Metropolis is “Chicago” and Gotham is “NYC”.

Don’t forget Smallville is in the Midwest, hence Metropolis representing Chicago.

Dumbasss Snyder made them like 10 miles away

 

[Mark Antony]

you could see one city from the other.

 

[slighted]

In terms of proximity, Snyder made Gotham + Metropolis = Manhattan + Brooklyn

[Master Zik]

I gotta stress once again how good Pennyworth is in Epix

In terms of proximity, Snyder made Gotham + Metropolis = Manhattan + Brooklyn

So dumb.

But that is originally a dumb DC comics idea. The issue being Metropolis was not always a midwest city. So at one point Metropolis and Gotham were in the same state.
