Just because Morrison defecated on a piece of paper and called it the "Death of Batman" doesn't mean Batman ceases to exist!

Also of note...
Star City, CA (Green Arrow) - way north of San Fran
Coast City, CA (Green Lantern) - north of San Fran
Midway City, MI (Doom Patrol) - north of Detroit
Keystone City, KS (Flash) - north of Kansas City
Central City, MO (Flash) - north of Kansas City
Blue Valley, NE (Flash, Elongated Man) - west of Lincoln
Gotham, NJ (Ragman) - near Atlantic City
Metropolis, DE (Superman) - southern tip of Deleware
Ivy City, CT (Atom) west of Hartford
Hub City, IL (Question) east of East St Louis

One thing Busiek did establish tho is that the DC Earth is slightly larger in size than the Marvel one in order to accomidate all thier 'ficticious' places.

Yes, it does.

The way I see it is all comic book writers are offering their version of the truth. Meaning everything is subjective yet everything happened.

Huh, I always thought Opal City was close to Seattle or Portland, for some unknown reason (even to me).

I going by this map. It could be wrong but it lines up with most of what Amoebas said.

Nice, I have a bizarre soft spot for B-More because of The Wire.

Sure some stories are written badly with animals, but that is the writers I think. I don't see what's so wrong about an Island of Dr. Moreau.

Worst cover ever!

I'm starting to think you are Punchy from a few years ago. Are you posting from a time capsule?
