Why does DC have twenty New York Cities? Where are they all?
Why does DC have twenty New York Cities? Where are they all?
The DC and Marvel planets are supposed to be bigger to account for all the extra countries and cities.
Does it?
most american cities are just like new york city
its hardly a special place
t. non-american who lives in a small countryside town
I actually live in Metropolis! It's in Delaware. But my area, where Metropolis is meant to be, is basically nothing but saltmarsh and pine barrens. Across the bay, where Gotham would be, is a bunch of drunken cunts who can't make left turns or pump their own gas.
She's not wrong. You take pictures of generally any large American city and you can tell someone it's New York and they'd buy it like you were a cute loli selling Thin Mints.
New York is magnitudes bigger than other American cities. I've taken a few tourist trips to it.
There's no other city in America even in the conversation to be compared to it.
Generally most of the big cities are directly adjacent to thier analogs. Metropolis is a play on the D.C./Baltimore area, so it's a bit over east in Delaware. Gotham is nominally just north of them in lower New Jersey. NYC itself is still a thing in DC, it just isn't the biggest city in the region, is all
Nta but Im a stones throw from Denver, and there are places downtown that legitimately feel like you're in New York or Chicago
Even setting aside the sheer magnitude and density of the skyscrapers, New York City has the combined population of the #2, #3 and #4 cities COMBINED.

They fucking do not.
it's, like, totes big, u gaiz
That's nice. Not the point, but nice. Work on your heading comprehension skills.
heading
lol READING. In the meantime, I'll work on my writing skills lmao
First, you've never been to New York City. A couple blocks of really tall buildings does not "feel" like New York City. New York City has a vast CANYON of seemingly endless skyscrapers.
You are an ignoramous flouting uniformed opinions and you should stop it.
And no, you can't recover from being ignorant with pithy greentext.
You don't need a million+ people to have the feel of a metropolis. Just get the density of skyscrapers past a certain point and you're there
Is jersey city really that bad?
Seriously man, stop it. That is like the thinly populated outskirts of New York City. It might be convincing if you were standing literally beneath a couple of them, but in downtown NY you are literally swallowed in the darkness of HUGE BUILDING CANYON. They are literally experiencing Manhattanhenge this time of year.
lmao
I'm legit laughing. My dad is from Brooklyn. I grew up in Yorktown. My sister still lives there. And I've been to and lived in quite a number of US cities. Most are just NY in microcosm. You're wowed by size and nothing more.
Most are just NY in microcosm.
Who wants cake?
Chicago
Los Angeles
Houston
Dallas
Baltimore/D.C.
Minneapolis
goddam *Columbus*
There are dozens of cities like New York in America alone. Hell, the Five Burroughs aren't even the largest city by area, they just has the most people crammed into them.
Los Angeles
Houston
Dallas
Those actually are quite different from New York. The others are fairly similar.
Metropolis is Cleveland/Toronto you fucking coastfag.
Yes, that's the thing that differentiates New York City from say, Los Angeles, the distant #2 with less than half the population, a sprawl.
New York is a megacity, the equivalent of 8 Dallases put together vertically.
What was even the first Media to try and put Metropolis by the ocean? Surely it wasn't Snyder....
You have never been to America have you
No it fucking isn't. Jesus, read a goddamn comic.
big tough NYfag can't abide strangers making slights against his precious festering shithole of a city on an electron driven Serbian goulash recipe emporium for capefag nerds
Still trying to greentext his way clear of his own blatant ignorance, I see.
Thank you for proving my point, dipshit. God bless.
The size is the key thing though. Things like swinging from skyscraper to skyscraper, gliding, or jumping from rooftop to rooftop works because NYC is so dense with buildings. Cities with less skyscrapers don’t have that landscape to allow that
In that they're shitholes that always smell like weed?
There are skyscrapers next to each other in literally every major city in America (except Jacksonville, fuck that place lol). Regardless of this, that is also not the point. You're what happens after the classical Trivium stopped being taught in schools. Grammar, logic and rhetoric are important and after they stopped being standards of education, people have gotten progressively dumber. Case in point:
You are very dumb.
You're just as dumb.
Can no one understand context anymore? Or things that are outright fucking stated?
Mother fucker, you're on an image board where anons bitch at each other about comics and cartoons. The FUCK are you actually expecting here? The goddam Met?
I'm expecting basic reading comprehension skills.
Tbh, New York is cool because it is probably the least American of American cities.
Not really ethnically (that would be Miami), but cityscape
the least American of American cities
Cities? Maybe. Settlements in general? Milbourne Pennsylvania is a suburb of Philadelphia with a majority Asian population. It's tiny, less that a square mile, but practically everyone who lives there is Asian, mostly Punjabi.
he comes to Anon Babble of all places expecting anything at all
Point at him and laugh, children.
You're a pedantic tool. Have you been made aware of this before now?
There are skyscrapers next to each other in literally every major city in America
Sure, but New York has that in an even larger amount, which helps aid to the visual of traversing a city across rooftops.
And really comic cities like Gotham and Metropolis are generally even more visually dense than NYC. NYC became more of a template for comic cities than it being strictly adhered to. The 1989 Batman movie, for example, really changed how Gotham would be drawn from then out(though Anton Furst was likely drawing some inspiration from a few comics; Frank Miller had some set pieces in DKR with art deco and gothic inspired buildings)
Sure
