Re: DC naming Batman's home patch Gotham - isn't it just intended to echo gothIC, and hence to sound like a dark place? Notreallydavid 01:39, 5 January 2007 (UTC)

The name Gotham City comes from its being based on New York City. It's impossible that Bob Kane eliminated the adjectival -ic morpheme from gothic and replaced it with the meaningless element -am to create a name that just happens to be a sobriquet for the very city he was emulating.
