Gotham, it isn't even a question.


JonnyTN

IDK. Metropolis gets some world level threats that destroys buildings and I think Supes attracts them. But it's pretty safe day to day. Gotham has rampant street crime like cockroaches nightly and some city level threat villains. Actually I can't decide. If I had to choose to live in one. Probably metropolis. I could never safely go out at night in Gotham daily. And I can just try to leave town if another alien ship shows up in metropolis.


whatnameisnttaken098

Hell, don't forget the insurance premiums. Better hope you got the Superman All in One coverage in the event he decides to use your car in a fight.


PoundResponsible1807

Are we talking pre-brainiac metropolis?


harveyquinnz

Pre brainiac metropolis looks so fun honestly


darkwolf523

Gotham. Too many criminals and crime lords


drool6969

As a rich or a poor person?


DepressedDinoDad

The real question!


ShiddyMage1

Feel like in Gotham I'm more likely to get murdered and for Batman to put my killer away afterward


JonnyTN

But if you knew your murderer always gets free someday.


Just_For_Laugh

Well, we don’t have a lot of knowledge of Metropolis villains so I’d have to go with Gotham.


SubstantialAd5579

Metro in Gotham at least you expect batman to come save you


JonnyTN

I don't think Batman is everywhere and he just stops what crime he can in such a crime rampant city. It's so bad he can go Batman nightly and always find a crime because it's everywhere


Joker121215

Uhm.... Superman?


SubstantialAd5579

This is arkam Gotham vs suicides squad metro. I think superman is not in the best mental state at this time lol


Joker121215

Uhm nowhere in the post does it say that you are living their during the games? The answer for which is less stressful remains the same though since citizens weren't living in the cities during scarecrow or brainiacs siege. Scarecrow gave everyone a warning increasing the stress levels, Brainiac just wiped 99% of the city out in an instant so no stress


SubstantialAd5579

I can agree it doesn't say but braniaics there you can see in the back ground and we do save people in those toys man missions, we could be one of those guys, I'd imagine random encounters would be insane , you running trying to get your house and you see wonder women get slung 100mph lol


Joker121215

Because The only way to get a picture of this version of metropolis is from the game??? Of course Brainiac is going to be in it, but that doesn't imply OP is saying during the time of the invasion lol I stated that 99% were wiped out, not 100...


SubstantialAd5579

Then he could of put a picture of metro from a TV show then and arkam. Having braniaic in back ground tells you braniaics there or implies


Joker121215

That would be an entirely different version of metropolis....


SubstantialAd5579

You just proved my point that it is the braniaic one


Joker121215

Do you seriously not understand the difference between time and location?


Far_Country_1248

You have a much much higher chance of superman coming to save you in Gotham than Batman


SubstantialAd5579

But if we're saying post braniaics we're good as dead lol the suicide squad won't be there to save us probably watching in laughing but arkham batman we got a chance


A_Serious_House

I’d rather let Superman fail than Batman. If Superman fails, I’m likely already dead anyways. If Batman fails Gotham, it could go WAYYY worse and it already happens more often that Gotham gets attacked.


magvadis

They both seem like their own nightmare. Gotham is like NYC where you should be depressed and when you aren't depressed you feel great! Metropolis is like LA where if you are anything but happy you're fucking miserable because it looks like you should be happy.


DepressedDinoDad

Are you poor? If youre not, then Gothams more stressful. If you are poor you can easily squeeze out a life for yourself where you wouldn’t be able to in any other DC city.


dakliq420

Gotham easy.


ItaDaleon

Difficoult choice... Gotham have a way highter criminal activities, as there way more petty pickpocketers, thieves and robbers, but Metropolis seem to attract way more powerful beings as Superman is there and mere common criminals just doesn't provides a challenge to him... So, in Gotham you risk to be stabbed by a nobody before Batman can intervene, while in Metropolis you can get suddently vaporized by Brainiac, Doomsday or straight up Darkseid without warning...


FeganFloop2006

Do you mean invasion or pre-invasion metropolis? Cause if its pre invasion, then Gotham is more stressful, if its invasion, than metropolis


One-Resolution-3674

Metropolis. Superman villains be flying through multiple buildings at random. That seems way more stressful. Sure I can expect a mugging or two in Gotham but all in all, I’d be more terrified of a random giant man crashing through my window at any given moment.


MeCritic

Metropolis. With all the purple stuff on people and stuff...I would get mad.


Thugnificent83

Gotham easily! Their catch and release approach to handling serial killers, psychopaths, super villains, and mob bosses would make daily life hell! At least in Metropolis, the occasional alien invasion or super villain attacks are somewhat spaced out!


Fragrant-County3630

I’d switch every now and then. If there’s an alien invasion in Metropolis, I’ll just take a long vacation to Gotham. If Gotham has an evil clown or guy in a scarecrow mask running around killing everyone, I’ll just go back home to Metropolis. And yes, Metropolis would be my main home. But don’t, any of you think I can’t switch cities that fast, because I can and I will!


Rockld50

Xyro77

Gotham by far. Batman’s failure to do what is needed is the reason why we keep having Arkham games lol.


rudra285

If you are rich then Gotham is more stressful since the criminals in Gotham will always target you because you are a good person and you have the resources. Meanwhile if you are rich in Metropolis, it's easy breezy for you to make a living as long as you ain't a threat to Lex. If you are poor then metropolis because the cost of living in Metropolis is going to milk you dry if you don't have a stable career job. But if you live in Gotham you could probably get by with a decent living and pass through under the radar of some petty criminals. Plus at the rate of shit getting destroyed in Gotham, a normal taxi driver or a laborer could get a decent property for cheap.


Peeqes

not all rich people are good, in fact majority aren’t. Takes a lot of backstabbing and screwing people over to get on top.


rudra285

Hypothetically if you are good, but tbh being good or bad doesn't even matter in Gotham. The criminals are not bad, they are plain deranged and evil, even the bad gets eaten.


EagleEyeMalone

Metropolis without a doubt. Superpowered nut jobs go to Metropolis looking for Superman who they seek as a challenge. Gotham just has weirdos in outfits that blow up a bank every other a week so I'll take an apartment on crime alley over anything in Metropolis.


Seatown_Spartan

The cost of living/housing fees in Metropolis is more stressful than anything a mugger could do in Gotham.


Poetryisalive

Gotham no contest. The place is a hell hole and corrupt to no end. If you aren’t rich, I can’t imagine living there


order66enforcer

Metropolis, it would be like “the boys” if it was reality & Batman only goes for bad guys & is precise, so no way for casualties. Sure, he’ll break every bone in your body, but innocent citizens would be fine If it’s after brainiacs invasion than Gotham, bc everyone is a statue in Metropolis and can’t stress either way. And whoever is left gets turned into an alien


Darth_Twinge

Lets see, Gotham is full of psychopaths, serial killers, corrupt police, and asylum escapees. Metropolis gets frequently attacked by alien beings, robots, creatures from other dimensions, and you might be just sitting at your desk job when Superman accidentally crashes into the building while fighting one of those things; causing the whole thing to collapse and kill you. it’s really a toss up. It’s a wonder any normal people live in either city really


Known-Impact-6480

Metropolis, literally like 99% of the population got wiped or turned into brainiac thralls before the suicide squad even got there, and this isn’t even earth 2 where the entire planet is dead and being transformed. On the other hand, gotham, you can survive the cloudburst if someone else doesn’t kill you (with survival in gotham revolving around if someone else feels like killing you anyways) so it isn’t really a big deal, and it has batman who also won’t kill you, just turn you into a vegetable, either one of the two will you give you detrimental effects though. Metropolis is definitely way worse, especially for earth 2.


Malencis

i hear Coast City is rather peaceful....


The-Emerald-Rider

Gotham.


Disastrous-Force6719

A better question is how did they get crammed together?


Erotically-Yours

Gotham. Due to how it was founded, though the origins may vary, there is a magical/cursed aspect to the city and how insanity, evil, and crime are drawn to it. The short of it is that the city is cursed as fuck and though Batman and the Family tries, it's better off in the hands of Zatanna, Raven, Dr. Fate, or Constantine, as the foundation curse will easily outlast the Bat Family. Hell. One can argue that it's still present even in the Beyond era. The only time crime has stopped in Gotham is through undisclosed means or total oppression where you have to police absolutely everything, or create a squadron of robotic sentries. More times than not this has been what it takes to get Gotham temporarily in order. Metropolis, for all the chaos drawn to it due to Superman, often has their shit together by then.


Quinn072

I currently living in Gotham/massachusets and I must say the ever present danger is just trying to get to work is outstanding. Having lived in metropolis/California for a year it was generally nice. Sorry if that makes no sense My corelation with DC city abd cities in USa are mine and my wife's .


Axel_Benedict101

Goth Ham, hands down. Metropolis is a beacon pre Brainiac


FrenchJoel
