	DC Universe - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The DC Universe typically has its comic books set in fictional cities, such as the twin cities of Gotham City (based upon New York City) and Metropolis (based in part upon Toronto, though like Gotham, it also serves as a New York City analog in the comics).
		These cities were effectively fictional archetypes of cities, with Gotham City embodying the negative aspects of life in a large city, and Metropolis reflecting more of the positive aspects.
		Editors at DC came to consider the varied continuity of multiple Earths too difficult to keep track of, and feared that it was an obstacle to accessibility for new readers.

	Central City, Missouri
		Central City is located on western edge of Missouri, about 30–40 miles north of Kansas City, and across the Missouri River from Keystone City.
		Central City experienced an incredible economic boom during the years that Keystone City was kept out of phase from the rest of the world.
		Central City University and Central City Medical School both lie (not surprisingly) within the city limits, and of course there is the Flash Museum, built during Barry Allen’s career and still run by actor Dexter Myles.

	Gotham City
		Gotham City is a fictional city appearing in DC Comics, best known as the home of Batman.

	Keystone City, Kansas
		Keystone City is located on the northeastern edge of Kansas, about 30–40 miles north of Kansas City, and across the Missouri River from Central City.
		When the city was restored, it was hit hard by being years out of date, but it has since recovered, focusing primarily on heavy industry.
		Mayfair Games’ The Atlas of the DC Universe (1990), written as a sourcebook for the DC Heroes role-playing game, has additional information about Keystone City which may or may not be accurate in the current version of the region’s history.
