What is the name of the fictional city in Nolan's Dark Knight trilogy?

The fictional city in Nolan's Dark Knight trilogy is Gotham City. It is Batman's home and the main urban setting for Batman Begins, The Dark Knight, and The Dark Knight Rises.

Gotham originated in DC Comics and was first identified as Batman's city in Batman #4, published in 1940. Although fictional, it is generally located in the Northeastern United States. The name is also an old nickname for New York City, helping give the setting a familiar but mythic identity.

Christopher Nolan's version of Gotham combines several real-world influences. Chicago provided much of the visual foundation for Batman Begins and The Dark Knight, while New York, Tokyo, and Hong Kong also influenced the films' architecture and city design. Nolan's Gotham was deliberately situated in New Jersey, echoing its comic-book geography.

A common mix-up is with Metropolis, the fictional city associated with Superman. Central City is linked to The Flash, while Starling City—later called Star City—is associated with Green Arrow.
