The Gotham skyline[1]
Gotham City was a city located in a large metropolitan area on the Eastern Seaboard of the United States.[2]
It was under the protection of Batman and his proteges from the criminally insane supervillains, gangs, and mobs that littered its streets.
Metropolis was located 'right over the bridge' from Gotham City.[3]
The natives of the city were referred to as Gothamites.

- ↑ Generally, the exact location of Gotham City was kept under wraps, however, in The Atlas of the DC Universe, which may or may not be a worthy guide to the Earth 1956 version of Gotham City; it was said to be located in New Jersey, with Metropolis being located in Delaware. This would mean that the bridge referenced in Super Friends # 14 would have to had to have crossed the Delaware Bay. The episode This Looks Like A Job For Bat-Mite! also suggests that Gotham City is likely located in New Jersey or somewhere near, as Bat-Mite referred to Washington, D.C. as a four hour drive from Gotham. That's fairly close to accurate; if not spot on.
