Not entirely. My point is that Gotham was based largely on New York.
One writer for DC said that "Metropolis is New york during the day, and Gotham is new york at night.
Dennis O'neil in his afterward of the novelization of Knightfall even goes so far as to say that gotham is a section of Streets of manhatten, those eing 14th street and below.
So it really depends on the depiction of Gotham and the writer.
But it still stands that even though Gotham is no longer New york, it was still based heavily upon new york.

😄 I'm awesome.Read back cresh. I never claimed it was canon. I'm trying to explain to you that there is a Gotham AND a NY in DC. They are quite obviously not the same thing. You for some reason don't seem to get it. IIRC Sado said it was mentioned in later Batman or Pun books. If true, I guess that would somehow make it canon.
SAdo is someone whom I don't take very seriously on here.

It wouldn't be a canon universe so the point is moot. in the 616 marvel universe there is no gotham. Even mentioning them is implying a canonicity to them.

You must know this. Why would I make this shit up? They don't seem to mention crossing barriers until JLAvengers.
That one is canon. It was mentioned in a Avenger's handbook, and the story continued in DC.

IIRC after he gets outclassed by Bats & Bats foolishly, stupidly saves Joker from him. He says something like "Going back to NY. It's a cesspool, but it's MY cesspool" Don't quote me on that though. Check it for yourself. Been a long time since I read it. If you can prove that Gotham & NY are the same in DC canon(will be hard/impossibe since both have been shown to be in DC),
They're not anymore.. they used to be. as I stated above what different writers said about their own works..

do it. Otherwise let's just end this because as always, brainchild's right. 😄
You're not getting the point is what I'm saying. I'm not saying they aARE the same, I'm saying they are similar enough it wouldn't be that big of an issue.

Probably the sarcasm that's a large part of my style.
