Bare in mind I know little about comic books.

I know that Gotham is based on night time NYC, which implies it's a coastal city, plus it looks a LOT like NYC in The Dark Knight Rises, but in the trailer for Joker, it appears to be pretty far inland. Which is it? Or does it vary, like stuff in comic books does? You know, origin stories, etc.

Oof...I guess I always knew that this day would come...I just didnt expect it to be so soon...But I guess youre finally old enough to know the truth

Look...the thing is...Gotham City isnt an actual place, and the Dark Knight Rises and Joker arent the same movie...

I know that this must come as a big shock to you

Gotham is whatever the writer and artist want it to be. It started as NJ but has become more like NYC and Chicago as time went on.

Gotham is the city we need, but not the one we deserve.

How could a city in New Jersey have an earthquake powerful enough to take it out wholesale? A southern or western one sure but New Jersey?

Unrealistic scenarios in my comics? Golly, I sure hope a writer was fired for that blunder
