    moorehn DC comics have gone back and forth a lot throughout history on exact locations, both were based on NYC, but as you saw it has been in NJ and newer comics have shown it elsewhere. The idea Metropolis and Gotham are across a body of water from each other has come back recently...

      moorehn Some writers have put Metropolis down as more of a SF analog (though DC also has a dedicated SF analog in "Coast City"). On the other hand the recent DC films have heavily implied that Gotham is Newark-ish and Metropolis is NYC (and Jersey City doesn't exist apparently).

        moorehn I mean the real answer is that DC's writers were all life-long NYCers who didn't really understand the geography or distances of NJ or anywhere else in the US for that matter. DC's universe is very... northeast clustered for that reason >.<
