Because of the Dark Knight Rises movie and the Man of Steel teaser, it got me thinking. Which city do you feel represnts Gotham City and Metropolis the most?
For Gotham City I would say Chicago, followed by NYC. Chicago a little more because of it's organized crime history (not saying NYC didn't have it, it's just Chicago is more well known for it) and because the city is far more corrupt than NYC.
As for Metropolis I think San Francisco, NYC or Toronto. I feel like Toronto might be the best match.
Cause of Al Capone. A lot of people when they think of Chicago they think of Al Capone.
I'm not so sure that immediately comes to mind when people think "Chicago." As far as the popular perception of Cosa Nostra, most people are going to make the connection with New York before Chicago.

With Capone they make the connection to Chicago. Do you even know his biography? Capone left NYC in his early 20's and pretty much his criminal career was entirely in Chicago.

That's fine. I'm saying that most people think New York before Chicago when they think of organized crime. I mean, NYC has how many mob movies compared to Chicago?

I think it was Stan Lee that said that "Metropolis" is New York City by day, and "Gotham" is New York City by night.
