What are some fictional towns and villages in DC Comics?
- Metropolis/Gotham City. It’s no secret that both Superman and Batman’s cities are based upon the same real-world location: New York City. (Which isn’t to say that there isn’t also a New York City in the DC Universe; that’s where the New Teen Titans were based for quite some time.)
- Gateway City. It’s not clear just yet where the cinematic Wonder Woman resides — although she will, presumably, still hail from Themyscira, better known as Paradise Island, the fictional (and magical) island populated by Amazons somewhere out in the Aegean Sea — the comic book heroine has a history with Gateway City, a harbor town on the west coast that has also been the home to supernatural hero and part-time wrath of God, the Spectre (The city actually debuted in a Spectre story in 1966’s Showcase No. 60).
- Star City. DC’s other home to fake tales of San Francisco is Green Arrow’s hometown — temporarily renamed Starling City in the early seasons of the CW’s Arrow, although it’s been called Star City in comic book mythology since its 1941 introduction in More Fun Comics No. 73.
- Central City. While there are many Central Cities in the real United States, the one that Barry Allen runs around in both comics and CW TV show is a fictional city located on the edge of the state of Missouri (as per not only current comic book continuity, but also references in The Flash TV show and Young Justice animated series), although it once belonged in Ohio (1974’s The Flash No. 228 and 1987’s The Flash Vol. 2 No. 2 both made that claim) and, in 2004’s DC: The New Frontier, in Illinois.

- Batcave. The Batcave is the Dark Knight’s operational headquarters. In the comic books and some films, Bruce Wayne accidentally discovers the Batcave when he falls into a crevice.
- Wayne Manor. The Wayne Manor has been the family home of the Wayne family for generations. Bruce inherited it following the murder of his parents, an incident that affected the young Bruce and led him onto the path of becoming the Batman.
- Wayne Tower. Wayne Enterprises is the headquarters of Bruce’s business. The building in which it is housed is called Wayne Tower. It serves as a landmark of Gotham City and its symbolic hope, quite like the Empire State Building in real-world New York City.
