When i was a kid, i always thought Gotham was NYC, Metropolis was Chicago, and Jump City was LA. Apparently this is all wrong.

Yea nah nyc = Gotham + metropolis Chicago = central city + star city then for la it gets messy. Also you gotta know dc has a bigger earth than our earth and the geography isn’t 1:1 and neither is the vibe of each city. Then on top of that dc has a messy history and the character of a lot of cities has changed over time and with the writers.

Another very interesting spin on this I'd love to hear your thoughts on - What makes Metropolis so much less crime-driven compared to Gotham? I know they have Superman, but Superman is also dealing with JL and alien threats quite often, so it's not like he's there 24/7 nowadays, especially compared to his earlier days.

Thank you :D I have a video coming up about their differences. I think Metropolis is already different at its core. The government seems less corrupt so people can trust others more. Superman is also very patriotic. He seems to embody the "truth, justice and American way" which gives people hope. Batman on the other hand, embodies fear and vengeance. It creates more deterrence. Another thing is that a lot of the crime in Gotham is committed by the people of Gotham themselves. It's like crime is an issue of the city. Metropolis has more outside threats like aliens. It helps the citizens feel better about themselves because "they are not the problem". If they were to commit crimes, they would be an outsider as well. People don't tend to want to be outsiders, they want to belong to a group which means having to conform to their values.

I love how you uploaded this video on Batman Day!!! Also, another important detail is the GCPD was a cesspool of corruption before Batman appeared and that's also why more cops in Gotham doesn't fix the problem. Great video and Happy Batman Day to you Mad!!! :)
