    Pre-COIE Central City on Earth-One. That place had the TALLEST skyscrapers, and the outskirts of the city were paved flat with miles and miles and miles of concrete.

    Coast City* followed closely by Metropolis.



    *Maybe someone can help me out, but I always thought Coast City was a fictionalized San Diego until the guy at my LCS told me it was actually established as being more north/central, like Monterey or Pismo Beach area...?

    I just Googled "pre-COIE" and "Comic Book Resources" and got this:

    About 2,810 results (0.51 seconds)

    Pretty amusing since most comics readers would have no clue about that.

    Opal City. Love the art deco look and overall feel of it.

    Coast City is definitely supposed to be SoCal. Around San Diego makes sense, it's meant to be south of LA iirc.

    Least Favorite: Coast City
    Did you know that every atom in our bodies was once part of a star? Think about that… EVERYTHING changes. Caterpillars turn into butterflies and stars turn into @$$holes.

    I kind of want to say Midway City, but that would really be more for the characters than the city itself, which was actually fairly mundane when I think about it.

    That said, I genuinely like St. Roch, Louisiana, and not just because of the Hawkman connection. Coming from the south myself, it was nice to finally see some representation in the DC Universe when it was first introduced. The New Orleans vibe it has going on for itself makes it pretty unique in the comic book world as well, I think.

    Idk. They all seem the same to me. Central City can easily be Metropolis, Dakota can easily be Gotham.

    Metropolis. It just looks like a modern city. It feels like the center of DC.
