somehow, and I blame Batman (1966) for it, I always thought Gotham was in CaliforniaGotham was inspired by New York, as was Metropolis, but the fact that New York as a place exists in the DC universe sort of negates the idea that either city is New York.
Frank Miller once said that Gotham is New York at Night, Metropolis is New York during the day. But geographically, Gotham is in New Jersey and has been referred to as such fairly consistently since at least 1974.
