re: In the DC world, where are Metropolis and Gotham City?

Do the comics really pinpoint Gotham as being in NJ?

You could be right it could be on the other side of Gotham, but Gotham by most accounts is in NJ

Bludhaven being a sister city is key here

Maps, character conversation, and implied travel times have repeatedly represented Blüdhaven to be both south of and located close or adjacent to Gotham City, home to Batman.[1] Some published maps of the two cities fit corresponding points on the New Jersey coast: Gotham's geography fits the Little Egg Harbor area of Ocean County and Galloway Township in Atlantic County, while Blüdhaven fits in to the area of Atlantic City or Brigantine Island. Its metropolitan region is divided between two DC Universe-specific counties, named Haven and Avalon,[2] neither of which is a county in any Mid-Atlantic State in a similar locations, though Avalon, New Jersey is a real place near Atlantic City.

little hard to see here, but the jist is the cities are neighbors.
