GOTHAM CITY The home of Batman, who is officially considered an urban legend by the GCPD. The Bat-signal on the roof of police headquarters is, officially, a deterrent used by the GCPD against the city's criminal element and is not actually a method of contacting a vigilante who dresses up like a giant bat and is fond of dangling suspects by the ankle from 20 stories up. Nope.
