A Tourist Map of Gotham

Batman's Gotham

Most people know that Batman lives in Gotham City,
and that this fictional place is a barely disguised
version of New York City – so much so that in real life,
NYC is sometimes nicknamed Gotham.
The place-name ‘Gotham’ has an interesting pedigree.
It was used as early as the 15th century to refer to
places with foolish inhabitants. This seems to make a
lot of sence.
