Think about it. The economy is down and there are budget cuts happening everywhere, including the police budgets. If Batman wants to make his organization global, shouldn't he also include some American metropolises? What city could use a caped crusader to pick up the slack?
I'll make the case for my hometown: Buffalo, New York.
It is nationally ranked as being one of the poorest cities in the country. It has plenty of abandoned buildings and grain elevators ideal for hiding a place of operations and access to water. There are tunnels underneath all of the colleges. And the #1 reason: Google insane asylums and a picture of an insane asylum in Buffalo will show up. The Richardson Complex is featured in Brian Azzarello's Joker and the Bermeejo confirmed that he used the building for inspiration.
The cons: It lacks tall buildings.
So make the case for your home town to be residence of a Batman! I'm curious about other a cities and I thought about Detroit but I think that city is under the jurisdiction of Robo Cop.
