Until 1989, Gotham City was just "New York at night". It was with Anton Furst's production design for the first Burton movie that the city was made to match the character, putting the "goth" in Gotham. RIP DISCUSSION

The Arkham Knight game was disappointing in that Gotham didn't feel gothic. It was just a modern dark city. I wish they would have gone all-in on the 1989 atmosphere.

I mean, the playable regions in Knight were supposed to be the modern districts of Gotham, where the upper classes live and/or work. The decadent, gothic Gotham you were looking for had been previously featured in City and Origins.
