Gotham City location


Gotham City appears to be Los Angeles in the 1943 serial. It's always sunny, it has a lot of hills, and it's not far from the desert. Wasn't Gotham City modeled after New York City in the comic book and other film adaptations?

Yes.

You're welcome. Glad it helped.

I've always imagined Gotham as more Boston-ish.

At least in this one Bruce had a mansion by the seaside.

It does look a lot like L.A. - and for budgetary reasons.


The 1966 series and film has Santa Barbara coast in it.
