very funny/shitty that the idea crime ridden cities are just inherently shitty has been disproven. Particularly with NY- maybe the closest real world analogue city to Gotham- now being the most peaceful it's been in decades.
Isn't the fall in crime in New York mostly due to gentrification having displaced poor residents? Tax lawyers and hedge fund managers doesn't do blue collar crime like mugging tourists in the streets.

While the Dark Knight was filmed in Chicago, it wasn't supposed to be based on any one particular real world city.
Huh, interesting. I always just assumed Gotham was Chicago (gothic, art Deco architecture, old times gangsters, windy) and Metropolis was New York
In the comics, Gotham is an island off the coast of NJ and Metropolis is in Delaware.
Weird, but interesting.
They used to call NYC Gotham. Batman anever felt very new york to me, but I wouldn't know really
