State?

I remember a few months ago I found the state where Gotham is located. I couldn't go back and find it, though...

Anyone know where is's located??? J. A. R. Head 22:43, January 3, 2010 (UTC)

Just dumping this here: states given as GC's home in any continuity. Expand if you find another source. It's pretty consistently NJ in mainstream. --Tupka²¹⁷ 15:32, September 9, 2014 (UTC)

County: Gotham County Vs. Kane County

Batman Vol 2 10 states that Gotham City is in Kane County. This is at least the second time I've read this in the New 52. Should the County be updated on the Gotham City page? Goblyn4evil (talk) 22:03, July 31, 2012 (UTC)

Tough call. Slaughter Swamp typically exists in Gotham County, and it just appeared in All-Star Western (Volume 3) #11. I don't recall any specific mention of Gotham County in AWS, but I feel as though there was one. I don't know what to make of either. - Hatebunny (talk) 22:10, July 31, 2012 (UTC)

There was a mention of Kane County back in Gotham Central. I'll look up the issue in a moment. --Tupka²¹⁷ 22:21, July 31, 2012 (UTC)

"Kane County Morgue", Gotham Central #2. --Tupka²¹⁷ 22:29, July 31, 2012 (UTC)
