I've always pictured Gotham City to something like Seattle ... I dunno why ... maybe the grunge scene back around 92-93 with Alice in Chains and Pearl Jam that did it for me... Or ... Chicago would work for me as well.... and Detroit .... todays detroit... that could be a batman begins gotham.... easily.... especially after Arkam's Inmates escaped...

Both Gotham and Metropolis get equated to a lot of different cities but the basic beginning was Gotham was New York (Manhattan) and Metropolis was Chicago but its skyline was Toronto. Of course per standard DC modus operandi both of these have changed several times over the years and even moved around.
I've heard Metropolis described as New York during the day and Gotham is New York at night. I have always been a sucker for DC's fictional cities. Opal City in Starman. Star City in Green Arrow. Central City in the Flash. Gotham in Batman. If done right, the city becomes a character in its own right.
Cheers,
