[edit] Mentions

  • Oliver Queen's friend Geoffrey says he has to return to Gotham right before he gets in his limo. It then explodes. (Reunion)
  • Linda Lake sarcastically says that she can see Gotham from her new office at the Daily Planet. (Hydro)

[edit] In the Comics

Batman in the comics

In the source material, Gotham City is one of the most constant and important locales on the Earth of the DC Universe.

While widely known as the home to Batman, numerous other DC characters, both heroes and villains, operate in Gotham City. These include Robin, Nightwing, Batwoman, Catwoman, the Red Hood, Batgirl, the Joker, the Penguin, Black Mask and the Riddler, among others.

[edit] Notes

  • In the comics, Gotham City is home to billionaire Bruce Wayne and the city is a much more crime-ridden place than Metropolis. On the show however, Metropolis has many of the attributes of the comics-based Gotham City: regular street muggings and homicides, along with an overwhelmed Police Department.
  • In comics and movies, Gotham is normally situated on the East Coast. However, whether that remains true in the show is unknown, and it could very well be located elsewhere much like Metropolis is in the series. Linda Lake said she can see Gotham from her new office suggesting its close to Metropolis. Though since it was a sarcastic remark, the location of Gotham remains unknown.
  • The effects of Dark Thursday in Metropolis seem very similar to the effects of the Scarecrow/Ra's al Ghul gas in Batman Begins, it's possible that the two events are connected, if it's assumed that they're in the same continuum.
