Gotham City (Earth 1)

Neo-Gotham, or simply Gotham, is an American city rife with corruption. It was the home of its iconic protector Batman until his death.

Early History
Not much has been revealed about Gotham's founding in canon, though it was founded by Dutch traders during the early 17th Century. It has been noted that the Dutch settlers struggled with raiders, a nearby indigenous tribe, and a dark cult.

Modern Age
Over the centuries, Gotham City became a haven for criminals of all sorts and eventually became the seat of the Falcone and Maroni Crime Families. Organized crime in general held a solid grip over the city for decades, until the early 2000s.

Many of the crime families were uprooted after the arrival of the vigilante Batman and were soon replaced by more eccentric and dangerous criminals. From that point on, for the most part, Gotham was terrorized by Batman's rogues like Two-Face, Penguin, the Joker, and many others.

The Metahuman Crisis
In the year 2027, Gotham City was one of many locations across Earth that was attacked in an assault, coordinated by an unknown mastermind. Gotham was put under siege by the League of Assassins. The Batfamily came together in order to save the city and, while they managed to succeed, it was not without many casualties. One of these casualties was Batman himself. In the weeks after, Batman's allies went more into hiding and some of them formed the third incarnation of the Outsiders.

The Rise of Eye
Three years after the events of C-Day, the mysterious figure Brother Eye made himself known to the world, showing his intentions to bring security to the world after the increased violence following the defeat of the Justice League.

Gotham City remained as one of the last holdouts, as the Outsiders and the GCPD fiercely fought back against the android army. However, they eventually failed as Brother Eye established a strong presence in the city. After making many improvements to infrastructure, giving deadly pursuit to vigilantes and villains, and abolishing the GCPD, the city was renamed Neo-Gotham.
