  1. hey, what about Wakanda ???? It deserves a place in top 3 while it isn't even considered to be in 'honourble mentions' category.
    Not satisfied at all. They could have also added 'Racoon City' to the list.

  2. Gotham always has that night time noir feel to it with the spotlights in the night sky and steam coining out of the sewers. the police zeppelins adds a nice touch to it too.

  3. In Ducktales the superhero character is Gizmoduck and the town is Duckberg Underdog is somewhere in the USA Mayberry has characters from the Andy Griffith Show like Barney Fife,Aunt Bee,Floyd the Barber,Otis,Opie,Ernest T. and Gomer Pyle they could have a unlikey hero for that town as a bumbing buffon it could be another thrid spinoff from the series and don't forget The Swat Cats they from Megacat City.

  4. I really think that Central City and Star City from Flash and Arrow respectively should have gotten at least a place on this list considering how popular the CW shows became.

  5. Why the F do you guys keep counting Batman as number 1? Sure he's had some of the best of luck in successful popularity but as far as this list goes, I think that Metropolis should be number 1 because like you said, it 's so much more inviting than Gotham (plus that doesn't change the fact that Superman came first and successfully paved the way for Batman and the rest of superheroes as a whole). Also why didn't you guys include Wakanda (especially since you mentioned the country Latvaria)?

  6. how can this city be ahead of Asgard? Asgard is cooler and more popular and amazing. Whaaaaat? what about central city? this is not ryt even though i believe Gotham is the best because it is the hardest place to survive
