    Take into considerations the type of people that live there, the location, the crime rate, and other general things for consideration.

    Here are some ideas based on DC's beautiful travel posters:

    I hear Gotham is pretty nice.

    In all seriousness though either of the Gem Cities looks nice to me.(Keystone City or Central City)

    Gorilla City or Sub Diego.

    Just kidding, I'd probably pick Fawcett City. It's a big, nice looking city, located by a body of water, that has a classic feel to it.

    Yeah, the whole Engine City thing and the zombie apocalypse does give Coast city some minus points.

    I do like Gotham for its archetecture and I also like cites there have an egde and aren't all nice and pretty. Metropolis appears to be a nice and pretty city but also a bit boring.

    Gotham, in that sense, has one hell of an "edge"...I think it has the largest crime rate in the U.S. (DCU of course)

    Metropolis. I would love to have a reason to look up in the sky and it not be because of the crazy storm weather.

    well Engine city was really the only big thing exclusive to the city. Blackest Night and Sinestro Corps War were worldwide and had a somewhat decent gap in between.

    As far as I know it is Blüdhaven (Nightwing's city).

    Oh? I read somewhere that Crime Alley had the highest per capita crime (or homicide, can't remember) rate in the DC-US...but I could be wrong...

    Both can be true. That would just mean that Blüdhaven in general has more Crime and that Gotham has areas where there is not so much crime. The two statements can easily both be true.

    Fair point...I'm sure DC have it written somewhere.

    It would be odd to find out if Gotham/Blüdhaven didn't get the top=spot :O

    Gotham City: Love how it always look like it is stuck in 30's/40's, the news would be fun and interesting(tonight the Joker and Scarecrow decided to see what their gases would do when combined together), and if I ever feel like I would like to be a superhero I could always make a costume and go out and more than likely find a Bat family member who will take me in.

    Central City: Mainly because it is hinted to be St. Louis and I love my hometown. Also The Flash has to be my favorite hero after Batman and Robin.

    Fawcett City: Would be nice. I don't know about you, but seeing Mr. Mind battle Captain Marvel would be pretty fun. Also would feel like a cartoony kinda place.

    Fawcett City or Metropolis would be a nice place to live, Coast City isn't that bad too but I'll prefer Central City over those.
