I’ve been thinking about this recently and figured I might as well make a thread about it (assuming no one else already has.) Nevertheless, excluding Gotham and Metropolis, I’m a big fan of The Flash’s Central City, The Question’s Hub City, and the Atom’s Ivy Town (not a city technically but meh whatever.)
For me, it’d be Coast City #1, Metropolis #2. Although really you probably wouldn’t want to live in a city that is home to a superhero, since they get attacked so often.
I gotta say Bludhaven cuz it’s so versatile. If you need a dirty, corrupt, dangerous place it has that. If you need an industrial, shipping harbor it has that. If you need bright, neon lights, night life it has that too.
