[Sourced]So this is mostly just for fun, as yourself, if you were to choose which team to root for, which would be your "hometown"? *Personally Metropolis, I do like, but I'm loyal to The Joker, so thus I'd personally choose to root for Gotham.
I live in New Jersey, but Delaware is closer, so i guess Metropolis. Also, the drug theme to everything in Gotham is nasty.
While I prefer the sunny disposition of Metropolis, I am located in Gotham. The reason may seem odd, but Metropolis feels too much like a sci-fi city, the City of Tomorrow, a future utopia of progress... and I love playing magic-themed characters. Gotham is dirty, awful, and dark... but I can envision magical, wonderful, and nightmarish things happening in the old crevices and nooks. The feel of DC's World of Magic 'lives' in Gotham, not-so-much in Metropolis. Ideally if I could see beautifully vintage Fawcett City in DCUO, I'd move there in a heartbeat. I much prefer a happier and optimistic town over the grim face of Gotham, but for the time being even a nightmare still counts as a place where dreams come true.
Even though I put my lair in Metro, Gotham is my home town and pretty much has been since I started playing. The wars in Robinson are great when they happen which seems to have been a lot less lately. Exos are much more easily spotted in Gotham as well.
No doubt, Gotham. I like the artwork from Hush up there, as well. Good call. But yeah, gimme dark/gritty/demented/horrifying over Metro any day.
So now that's... Gotham 11 Metro 1 Wow, everyone loves Gotham. There's gotta be someone! Any Metro fans at all?! I could just see Bruce Wayne smiling right now, ear to ear. Too bad Joker doesn't know who he really is though, that would make him so happy.
I only like Metropolis for the Centennial Park (I often hang around there) but majority of the time I'm in Gotham because the darkness is easier on the eyes and Batman is my mentor... so Gotham all the way!
