In the DC series Lanterns, which city was Kerry Kane originally from?

In the DC series Lanterns, Kerry Kane was originally from Gotham City.

Kerry is played by Kelly Macdonald and serves as the sheriff of Rushville, Nebraska, the town at the center of the murder investigation. Her background connects the series’ small-town setting to a much larger part of DC’s fictional geography. Gotham City is traditionally associated with Batman and is one of the best-known locations in DC storytelling.

Kerry’s arrival in Rushville is not presented as a superhero origin story. She is devoted to her family and community, and she becomes territorial when the high-profile Green Lanterns arrive to investigate the case. Her history in Gotham adds another layer to the character without making her a costumed vigilante.

Gotham is sometimes confused with Metropolis, Superman’s city, or Coast City, a location strongly associated with Green Lantern comics. In Lanterns, however, Kerry’s stated place of origin is Gotham City.
