History
A map of New Gotham City

Crime
New Gotham City is infamous as a breeding ground of crime. The situation worsened after Batman mysteriously disappeared. The crime skyrocketed at an all-time high, to the point that many citizens believe the city is in dire need of vigilantes. The city has suffered numerous attacks at the hands of a criminal who went by Joker and along with his lover and second-in-command Harley Quinn.

Batman, the original vigilante
New Gotham was prominent for having registered the first known case of vigilantism in the figure of Batman, a brutal individual who dressed like a bat, fought against evil, and struck terror into the hearts of criminals everywhere, until the time that Barbara Gordon was shot.
Another vigilante that operated in New Gotham was Black Canary. She was the first female crime fighter and was infamous for her Canary Cry. She had worked with Batman on many occasions before his retirement, along with continuing to have a relationship with the crime fighter Batgirl.
Batman's had many proteges in his career of fighting crime. Among them being Robin, Dick Grayson, and Batgirl. All were famous for prowling the rooftops of Gotham with the Caped Crusader Batman.
