The purpose of this thread is not to offer evidence of where DC actually means to depict their various fictional cities as being located, but rather to share where you've come to imagine them being when you yourself read comics, whether rightly or wrongly. For example, while I've come to imagined Metropolis and Gotham as being both located on the East Coast, in Justice League #1 it seems that Batman and Green Lantern fly over a suburb of Detroit when traveling from Gotham to Metropolis. With that in mind, here's where I prefer to imagine such places existing.
- Gotham, NY - Hudson County, New Jersey
- Metropolis, NY - An area between Yonkers, south west Conneticut, and north west Long Beach Island
- Central City, MO - St. Louis
- Keystone, IL - East St. Louis
- Coast City, CA - Directly west of Edwards Air Force Base
- Star City, CA - North of San Francisco, between the ocean and the bay
- Qurac - Kuwait
- Kahndaq - Between Iran and Pakistan
- Markovia - Luxembough
