There are elements of it that are completely contemporary and there are pieces of it that are very old-fashioned&nbsp;... There were a couple of examples of modern technology, but maybe an antiquated version of it, that gave me a little bit of sense that it's certainly not the 50s and the 60s&nbsp;...

====DC Animated Universe====
{{main|DC Animated Universe}}
Gotham City is featured heavily in ''[[Batman: The Animated Series]]''. When describing Gotham City [[Paul Dini]], a writer and director of the show, stated "In my mind, it was sort of like what if the 1939 World's Fair had gone on another 60 years or so".<ref name=DenOfGeek/> In the episode "[[Joker's Favor (Batman: The Animated Series)|Joker's Favor]]", a driver's license lists a Gotham area resident's hometown as "Gotham Estates, [[New York (state)|NY]]". In the episode "Avatar", when Bruce Wayne leaves for England, a map shows Gotham City, at the joining of Long Island and the Hudson River. The episode "Fire from Olympus" shows a character's address in a police file indicating that Gotham City is located in New York state. The episode "The Mechanic", however, implies that Gotham resides in a state of the same name; a prison workshop is shown stamping license plates that read "Gotham: The Dark Deco State" (as a reference to the artistic style of the series). The episode "Harlequinade" states that Gotham has a population of approximately 10 million.

''[[Batman Beyond]]'' (1999–2001) envisions a Gotham City in 2039, referred to as "Neo-Gotham".<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.gamesradar.com/batman-beyond-neo-gothic-delves-into-the-mysteries-of-old-gotham-this-summer/|title=Batman Beyond: Neo-Gothic delves into the mysteries of Old Gotham this summer|website=[[Newsarama]]|author=Marston, George|language=en-US|url-status=live|date=April 9, 2023|access-date=April 13, 2023|archive-date=April 6, 2023|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20230406164924/https://www.gamesradar.com/batman-beyond-neo-gothic-delves-into-the-mysteries-of-old-gotham-this-summer/}}</ref>

====Arrowverse====
{{main|Arrowverse}}
Gotham City was first shown in the [[Arrowverse]] as part of "[[Elseworlds (Arrowverse)|Elseworlds]]", a 2018 [[fictional crossover|crossover]] storyline among the shows, which introduced [[Batwoman]], although it had been referred to several times previously.<ref>{{cite web |url=https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/live-feed/batwoman-make-arrow-verse-debut-next-crossover-1112799 |title=Batwoman to Make in 'Arrow'-verse Debut in Next Crossover |last=Goldberg |first=Lesley |work=Hollywood Reporter |date=May 17, 2018 |access-date=May 17, 2018 |archive-date=May 18, 2018 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180518001654/https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/live-feed/batwoman-make-arrow-verse-debut-next-crossover-1112799 |url-status=live }}</ref>

In ''[[The Flash (2014 TV series)|The Flash]]'' episode "Marathon", a map shows Gotham City in place of Chicago, Illinois.

====Theme parks====
Themed lands meant to represent Gotham City have been physically constructed in several different theme parks around the world. WB Movie World in Germany featured a Gotham City section that housed [[Batman Adventure – The Ride]], and [[Six Flags Magic Mountain]] opened a section called the "Gotham City Backlot" that featured [[Batman: The Ride]]. The section featured at Magic Mountain was designed by park designer Kevin Barbee, and alongside the opening of Batman: The Ride coincided with the largest expansion the park had ever undergone in 23 years, with the theming elements primarily having been inspired by the ''Batman'' films directed by Tim Burton. Both the ride and the Gotham City Backlot opened on March 26, 1994.<ref>{{Cite news |url=https://www.latimes.com/archives/la-xpm-1994-03-26-ca-38648-story.html |title=Batman Scales the Mountain: Gotham City Area, Roller Coaster Are Largest Expansion in Magic Mountain's 23-Year History at the Los Angeles Times |work=[[Los Angeles Times]] |date=March 26, 1994 |access-date=August 8, 2022 |archive-date=August 8, 2022 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220808024627/https://www.latimes.com/archives/la-xpm-1994-03-26-ca-38648-story.html |url-status=live }}</ref>

The Magic Mountain section closed at the end of the park's 2010 season and was later rethemed and rebranded as the "DC Universe", featuring characters and attractions other than just Batman. It reopened in 2011.

[[Warner Bros. World Abu Dhabi]] features a section themed after Gotham City, including rides based on Batman, the Riddler and the Scarecrow as well as a walk-through attraction called "The Joker's Funhouse". The park and its Gotham City section were designed by [[Thinkwell Group]].<ref>{{Cite web |url=https://thinkwellgroup.com/project/warner-bros-world-abu-dhabi/ |title=Warner Bros.

The Gotham City section neighbors another section themed after [[Metropolis (comics)|Metropolis]], home of [[Superman]].
