New Gotham -

After Gotham City was devastated by an earthquake and declared no longer part of the U.S., it was eventually rebuilt with the help of LexCorp and Wayne Enterprises.

Following the destruction of Arkham Asylum, Mayor Nakano signs off on the construction of Arkham Tower in the heart of the city, sparking a "new era" of tension between Batman and his allies.

In the 2002 Birds of Prey TV series, the setting is explicitly called "New Gotham City".

Upcoming projects, such as those under James Gunn , have officially confirmed new designs for Gotham City to reflect a distinct "mysterious crime drama" vibe. Fun Fact: The Real "Gotham" Incoming: BATMAN NEW GOTHAM Volume One - Todd's Blog
