ok, I’m 5 years late on this, but…

I recently saw someone posting about how it was weird that the YJ animated universe put Gotham in Connecticut.

And well, given what most people know about CT is “rich people who don’t want to live in NYC go there” and “idk, Yale’s there somewhere, right?” that reaction makes sense. 

However, as someone who grew up there, I want you to know that Gotham city is 100% ABSOLUTELY in Connecticut. (Though I do want to note that @unpretty​ makes a very compelling argument for Michigan, and I will still respect you if you decide to go with that interpretation. Even if it’s wrong.)

More under the cut, because -cracks knuckles- I am a fucking nerd and am going to explain the shit out of this. 

This is going by the assumption that Gotham isn’t a replacement for NYC itself. (Since NYC has been turning up in DC comics for literal decades now, I figure that’s a pretty safe conclusion.) 

When they bother to offer a geographic location, the comics have generally placed Gotham in New Jersey. Writers often seem to treat it as in as in the greater tri-state metro area around NYC. (Though if you go with the occasional interpretation of Metropolis as being across the river from Gotham, you could make a decent argument that Gotham is the Camden, NJ to Metropolis’s Philadelphia). In modern comics, DC also tends to treat Gotham as more of a mid-sized city rather than a gigantic population center like NYC, Chicago, or LA. 

Now, if you’re placing Gotham in the greater tri-state area, New Jersey is a perfectly reasonable conclusion. There are a bunch of cities in the area you could argue for (Newark is a decent contender).

However. Here is a list of things we know about Gotham:

It’s a port city and something of a shipping hub (illicit shipments at the docks are a Batfamily speciality)

It boomed as an industrial center, but entered a steep economic decline in the mid-20th century as the economy started shifting (see: all the abandoned warehouses, and the fact that “Crime Alley” was an affluent district until around the time the Waynes were murdered)

While there are some incredibly poor neighborhoods, there is also an extremely wealthy population

Has a long history of Old, Rich Families (See: the Waynes, the Cobblepots, the Kanes…)

Has a history of incredibly corrupt politicians and city offices

Has both historical mob activity and current gang violence

You know which city fits all those criteria? Bridgeport, Connecticut.

Bridgeport is in Fairfield county, where, yes, there’s a bunch of rich people who don’t want to live in New York City. It has most of the richest towns in the state, as well as some of the richest communities in the entire country.

Bridgeport itself, however, is one of the poorest cities in Connecticut. It’s a historic city that used to thrive on shipping and manufacturing, but has never quite recovered from their decline. Housing prices are high, incomes are low, and the city has huge issues with poverty and violence. Its mayor famously went to jail on felony corruption charges, and then later managed to get himself reelected.

As of the 2010 census, the Bridgeport metro area had the greatest income inequality in the entire United States.

I would probably place Wayne Manor in Easton (in the top 10 CT towns for median household income), which is adjacent to Bridgeport and would allow decent batmobile access. 

But really, the #1 reason why Gotham is Bridgeport?

P.T. Barnum was its mayor. Yes, that P.T. Barnum. He based his circus there in the winters. There are streets named after him. 

The Joker wouldn’t be able to fucking resist.

Fishyfox? Any reason you chose that particular title?

Ah. So, I met Jordan on this virtual pet site (shhh don’t laugh), and we were talking and I guess I mentioned I was Asian and that I was like 10 at the time? Jord replies with something like, “I didn’t know you were so young! and asian.” Then, she gives me the nickname foxy because i’m supposedly “sly”? And also, I like fish.
