What I'd like to know is why did Gotham change so drastically between the three movies? In Begins, it was very futuristic looking, in Dark Knight it resembles Chicago, whereas in Dark Knight Rises it's clearly representing Manhattan.
Why do Fast and Furious movies always change location? To make them more popular in a wider area.
I'm watching the tv series Gotham now. The city is pretty much defined by crime. New York is too safe currently, so Chicago would be most comparable to Gotham. Metropolis could be compared to New York.

But Cores of the cities gain most of Batman fighting the bad guys. That isn't the Core of Chicago today. But Batman goes back much much further then today. And history of the Al Capone era. Of course ..... NY C was also a Big mafia city.
Al Capone was a born and raised in New Yorker. Basically sent by the mob there to Chicago. He used skills learned well to change another city's history. Though European ethic gangs were also present in US large cities. Now other groups define most crime more segregated in US cities.
The Super-Villains of Batman in Gotham. Were over the Top figures and saving the whole city. Not Street-Thugs and hood gangs inferred.
Metropolis is easily New York hands down! Gotham City could be NY or Chicago... I could even venture to say Nashville could be or play a modern day Gotham City, especially with its skyline view if only for the AT&T tower aka Batman bldg. Street level and crime though, NYC or Chicago all day long...
Gotham was a nickname for New York City before Batman or DC Comics even existed, and there are a lot of current establishments in NYC that carry the "Gotham" name. For example, Gotham theater in Harlem opened in 1903.

I thought the same. If it's not NYC, it's Nashville.
