"Mister Spock is on his fanny, sir. Reports heavy damage."

I remember one time on Smallville, somebody climbed a large structure in Smallville -- a windmill? Something tall, anyway -- and you could see Metropolis in the distance.

I'm pretty sure their version of Metropolis has an ocean harbor, to boot. Oceans in Kansas! Awesome!

No Gotham is definitely in New Jersey.

Down these mean streets of Trenton a man must walk who is himself not mean, although, kinda vengeful at times, and also has a thing for bodysuits, but not in a freak way. He swears.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.

About 70% of publicly-owned companies are incorporated in Delaware. I imagine all the supervillians (apparently not a word in Firefox) are all attracted to the sophisticated commercial courts and friendly state corporate law.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

I have spent my life thinking that Gotham City = Chicago and Metropolis = NYC. My world is askew.

Me too!

This is bad as the Lloyd Bentsen thing.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

It's still snowing. And my hand is wet and covered in dog fur.

Also, why do wet dogs always get that "wet dog" smell?

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

That's because you spelled it wrong. (Supervillains.) Oh, Firefox doesn't like it spelled right either. What do you know.

The Atlas of the DC Universe, published in 1990 by Mayfair Games Inc. as a supplement to the DC Heroes role-playing game (under license from DC Comics), places Gotham City in southern New Jersey (and Metropolis in Delaware). This source, never officially recognized by DC Comics, has since been contradicted with regards to other locations.

It's all part of a nefarious plot by Mozilla....

If Firefox recognized the correct spelling, it would have told me.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

How many people wikipedia'ed Gotham? Surely not just me and Scola?

Anyway, I refuse to believe that it's anything other than NY. Below 14th street, at eleven minutes past midnight, on the coldest night in November.

That's a supervillain name right there. Come to think of it, Mozilla's nemesis could be Firefox.
