moorehn This is a good point! And perhaps it supports your argument that the population of the US in the DC Universe is ludicrously high. I can't find the post that did the math... but it turns out all the new cities DC introduces means the DC US has ~double the current population.Permalink On twitter.com

moorehn B/c the weird thing is that all the existing cities in our world exist but also there are a ton of fictional cities that are basically the same size. So there's NYC, and also Gotham and Metropolis both of which have a population close to NYC. So a *lot* of urban pressure mby!On twitter.com

moorehn (This is another thing they've tried to adjust more recently, as you can see in the color map, but itself has been sort of ludicrous. Metropolis apparently in the "New DCU" has a total population of ~72k which is... impossibly small for a city...Permalink On twitter.com

moorehn The new sizes are especially wild when Ivy Town, which is supposed to be a Providence RI analog, is apparently marked as twice the size of Metropolis. lol Stan Lee's directive to use only real life cities for Marvel is starting to make a lot more sense.)Permalink On twitter.com

moorehn Metropolis and Gotham have 11 million and 10 million population respectively according to the original times their population was listed in DC comics, and if they're across the water from each other that's a lot of urban pressure! Plus 22 million extra US population just there!Permalink On twitter.com
