Same goes for other major DC cities such as Star City (home of the Green Arrow and it's near San Francisco), Or Central City (Home of the Flash, Originally in Ohio, Post-Crisis version is in Missouri.). The thing with DCU is that the real world cities exit too. theres chicago, and NYC, and SanFran. ANd last there is some cities that still move based on writer and particular storyline. for example Smallville regularly appears either in the hills of Delaware near Metropolis, or some in Kanses.

Seen Here: http://www.sparehed.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/01/newengland.jpg Is an image from the DC RPG, It has also been mentioned as there in a few comics. It replaces Ocean City essentially, Lying on Three Large Islands off of Cape May County. However the reason you see a lot of Chicago traits in Gotham is because Gotham City is inspired by The seedier side of New York and Chicago combined, with the newer buildings and higher class life influenced by Seattle. Similar to how Modern Metropolis is commonly designed to feel like the clean side of New York combined with the super chic look of cities like Tokyo and Hong Kong, with a dabble of Berlin, London, and other olden influences to it.

There must have been a thousand Gotham Police marching down La Salle street. They had cops on horses and cops playing bag pipes. Very thorough filming. This movie will be huge.

I'm assuming people think Gotham is part of Jersey? I'm pretty sure it's never been said what state Gotham is in and no one really bothers demanding to know because... you know, it's a fake city and all. Pretty funny seeing a license plate close up though... I doubt the producers ever intended anyone to see it at that level of detail.
