This is correct. Which is why I made that pointOr maybe they hadn't made it up yet.
They've been breaking shit since the 1950s implemented the comics code, and clearly you do give a fuck or you wouldn't be arguing. But you want proof? Hah, this ain't mathematics, but how about some logic anyways, son?Personally, I don't give a fuck what they have done to break shit in the last few decades, but I doubt they have moved cities. All you have done is make claims, about what you think. I actually showed proof, now do the same, or stfu about this.
Think about it from a business perspective. If they said NYC instead of Gotham and presented it as crime-ridden, corrupt (nevermind the mafia) and in need of literal vigilante justice, don't you think they might be sacrificing potential customers (which have mostly been children for the majority of the last 70 years, who rely on parents for allowance to buy comic books, and later TOYS), not to mention the grief they would get from city officials?
Hell, the two companies that merged to form DC were headquartered in NYC, where do you think the original headquarters was when they merged? It was somewhere IN MANHATTAN until 2015. If you want to sell something, it's a hell of a lot easier to sell it if it isn't also critiquing the literal local government (yes, 1st Amendment, but lawsuits are more expensive than avoiding the issue entirely).
But crapping out a single panel from a floating timeline subject to the whims of editors as proof? Man, the internet really is something...
