Argo plays a New York City debt collector who worries that the city has lost its soul, and Jones treats his star like a civic landmark—at one point, people walk up to Argo and start snapping photos, like he's the Statue Of Liberty.
Argo's job should only be a minor piece of this Gotham mosaic, but Jones makes the racketeering scenes so familiar that they grate against the rest of the movie.
Then he blocks that scenery with Argo's face, and drowns out the sounds of the city with pretentious stream-of-consciousness narration, as Argo debates whether to quit being a thug for hire.

The city of Liberty has for centuries had a mutual protection pact with Irrigrim; Irrigrim defends the city against other dragons, and the city defends Irrigrim against would-be dragon slayers.

 The Trades - DVD Review: Supergirl
In the comics, Argo City is a city of Krypton that survived the explosion, floating through space on a large chunk of kryptonite.
The city is shielded to protect the inhabitants from the radiation, but when the shielding begins to fail, Zor-El and Allura send their daughter Kara to Earth in a rocket, where her cousin Kal-El was sent years earlier.
Zaltar has a way of leaving the city and going after it, but as he argues with Zor-El (Simon Ward) and Alura (Mia Farrow, "The Omen") about the issue, a guilt-ridden Kara enters Zaltar's vessel and begins her journey to Earth -- which is where all things kryptonian eventually end up.
