Gotham City is known for many things. First and foremost, for their Caped Crusaders. As these cities on parallel planets have been afflicted in modern times by their supervillians, Dynamic Duos have protected them from their sinister schemes.
On Earths One and Two, these masked manhunters are Batman and Robin the Boy Wonder, the amazing alter egos of Bruce Wayne and Dick Grayson. But on Earth-S, they are radically different yet still strangely similiar.
Brian Butler and his adopted son Pinky swing through the skylines of their city as Mister Scarlet and Pinky the Whiz Kid. And that city's name is... Gotham!
Indeed, this is the very first locale where District Attorney Butler first donned his colorful costume, and later inspired his orphaned son to join him in his crusade.
Strangely though, the Gotham City of Earth-S was not as well-known nor as reputable. This is evidenced by Captain Marvel's uncertainty as to if his world has its own Gotham.
And in fact, when he along with his Marvel Family and fellow superheroes returned from decades of suspended animation in the 1970s, it seems that Mister Scarlet and Pinky had moved from Gotham to Cap's hometown of Fawcett City... the Earth-S version of Metropolis.
Perhaps due to their world's Gotham City being smaller, it wasn't quite the financial center of their United States as it was on the Batmen's worlds.
As to what the names of the other distinct correlating cities on Earth-S were for those on Earths One and Two (Central City/Keystone City, Ivy Town/Calvin City, Coast City/Gateway City, Midway City/Civic City, among others), this has not as yet been revealed since most of the mystery men on that world either operated in Fawcett, Gotham, New York or Washington D.C.
