I honestly don't care!

I'm getting a kick out of these people who do! I mean, were're talking about "Gotham" and "Batman" here, and people are foaming out their mouths!

I actually care at least for historical accuracy. I could care less where they filmed a movie or two. But I do not like the mistakes and distortions on both the Chicago and New York forums that are being sprouted.

The naming of "Gotham" doesn't start with Batman, and certainly doesn't start with a movie about Batman.

Gotham - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

^I agree. I also think that the image of Gotham is a symbol; one that rightfully belongs to NYC.

BTW, what does this topic have anything to do with Pittsburgh? Why does [mod cut] keep randomly attacking it?

Joe Shuster (the Canadian born creator of Superman) actually based Metropolis on his hometown of Toronto.

According to DC Comics, Metropolis is in Delaware while Gotham & Bludhaven (aka "Hoboken") are in NJ.
