Chicago is Gotham. No doubt about it.

According to the DC Atlas, Gotham City is actually in New Jersey. According to that last sentence, I’ve wasted my life.

Knishes are very important, Heidi.

But here’s the key question: potato or kasha?

“Queens Councilman Hiram Monserrate wants to make “Gotham City” the official nickname of the Big Apple…”

Ok … now politicians are pandering to comic book fans?

Begin off-world colonization ASAP.

I say Chicago throws its hat into the ring. What with the movies and all.

As Frank Miller said, “Metropolis is New York in the daytime, while Gotham is New York at night.” As for geography, Gotham looks more like Boston, with Bludhaven playing the role of a Newark/East St. Louis/Gary parasitic suburb.
Also of note, New York State should not be confused with New York City. Those “I [heart] New York” t-shirts refer to New York State (which owns the trademark). The Big Apple refers to New York City, and supposedly refers to it being the ultimate locale for jazz musicians. Washington Irving popularized the American use of Gotham, inspired by the British residents of Gotham, Nottinghamshire.
Isn’t “Gotham City” trademarked like “The Daily Planet”?
And my personal nickname for NYC is “The City of Dreams”, because any dream can be realized here (moreso than Los Angeles).
Of course, this being New York, the locals are gonna ignore whatever nickname the council dreams up anyway. “Avenue of the Americas”? Fah.

First off, the nickname, Gotham doesn’t really make any sense anymore.

There’s not really much left in the State’s architecture that is ‘Gothic’. The Big Apple is appropriate as it entails what a lot of growers produce upstate. NYC may be the focus of New York, but it certainly isn’t what the whole state entails.
