Trivia
- The locations appear to be based on The Daily Planet Guide to Gotham City, part of a series of supplements for the DC Universe Roleplaying Game. The following quotes are from the Guide:
- Majestic Theater (p. 107-108): " The grand old movie house of the city, the Majestic was recently rebuilt to its original 1920s glory thanks to a generous grant from the Wayne Foundation. At the same time the theater restored its fixtures and appearance and updated its technology for showing films. It can now show regular as well as digital films. The theater's facade and lobby will be of interest to history buffs, as they incorporate three different types of marble quarried from three regions of Italy, a practice common in the Gilded Age and lovingly reproduced as part of the theaters recent overhaul." It is also referred to as "Majestic Theatre" and appear sporadically in the comics.
- Kane Art Museum (p. 105): " Collecting the finest contemporary art, the Kane Museum features few permanent exhibits, choosing instead to showcase current trends in advertising, conceptual, commercial, and performance art. Visitors can wander from room to room in the Kane viewing, for example, barbarians painted on oil by a fantasist, then computer-generated billboard copy, followed by a collection of political cartoons. This museum is a required experience for those wanting to remain current in the world of art. Supported by a grant from Alan Scott." The museum appears in Detective Comics #664 (1993) during the Batman: Knightfall event.
- Gotham Zoo (p. 104): " Once again a going concern following No Man's Land, the Gotham Zoo has consolidated its exhibits in its northern Coventry location due to the closure of its Robinson Park facility. Since the completion of the move, the zoo seeks to regain its reputation among the best zoos for cities the size of Gotham. Well known for its penguin habitat, as well as the African savanna environment that recaptures the beauty and majesty of the African veld, the Gotham Zoo is a favorite destination for springtime field trips and summertime day trips for many residents of the city and surrounding area." The zoo first appear in Batman #19 (1943).
- Arkham Asylum (p. 134-135): " Arkham Asylum on Mercey Island [colloquially known as Arkham Island] , administered by Dr. Jeremiah Arkham, remains our primary holding center for those felons considered both highly dangerous to the public and too mentally ill for the regular prison system. Founded in 1921 as the Elizabeth Arkham Asylum for the Criminally Insane by Dr. Amadeus Arkham and originally based in Sommerset, this legendary facility has undergone several renovations and one physical change of address in the last 80 years. Security measures are being considerably updated at the joint expense of the city, state, and federal governments. The new systems are expected to be fully operational by September of this year. One major change is in effect, however: the Joker is no longer being held at Arkham. Following his recent rampage as Quraci ambassador to the United Nations [as seen in Batman: A Death in the Family, except the country was Iran instead of Qurac] , he has been remanded to the indefinite custody of Slabside Island on grounds of federal jurisdiction over his latest offences." The Asylum first appeared in Batman #258 (1974).
- Luigi's Pizza (p. 91): " Another Gotham entrepreneurial success story, the first Luigi's was opened almost 20 years ago near what is now called Little Odessa. Fighting off nationally known competitors, Luigi's has expanded and now has over 80 delivery stations and 14 family-style sit-down pizzerias located throughout the city and surrounding areas. There's rarely a weekend night in the city where a Luigi's delivery station isn't apologizing because of the 45-minute delivery time due to their fully packed delivery schedule. But as Luigi himself says on the commercial, "Itsa worth the wait!"" Luigi first appeared in Action Comics #419 (1972), and was created for the Human Target series.
- Planet Krypton-Gotham (p. 89): " The latest entry of the growing chain of hero-themed restaurants, Planet Krypton-Gotham made its debut within the Crystal Palace/America's Mall complex shortly after it opened. Its gala opening was attended by the likes of Booster Gold, Blue Beetle [likely Ted Kord] , and Firehawk, as seen on the WGBS's coverage of the event. Similar to the other Planet Kryptons, the Gotham City version features themed decorations that celebrate the presence of super heroes in our world, such as replicas of Hawkman's helmet and a copy of the original charter of the Justice Society of America, signed by FDR. In keeping with the tradition of styling the restaurant to its location, Planet Krypton has a substantial Justice Society dining area and several darker areas with artistic interpretations of the Batman and other super heroes rumored to operate within the confines of Gotham City. As with the rest of the chain, servers are dressed as members of the Justice League. They serve topical meals, such as the Aquamanwich (a large fish sandwich with a harpoon holding it together), the Man of Beef and Supershake combo meal, and the Greens Lantern (a salad that comes with Planet Krypton's signature avocado dressing). Like its sister restaurants, Planet Krypton has dozens of video monitors that display coverage of super-hero events around the globe, as well as Planet Krypton's exclusive JLA Mooncam—a camera directed at the JLA Watchtower on the moon when it is in phase." The original Planet Krypton restaurant is located in Metropolis, owned and operated by Booster Gold, first appearing in Kingdom Come #1 (1996).

- Iceberg Lounge (p. 86-87): " Owned and operated by Oswald Cobblepot—the individual who had formerly gone by the moniker of "The Penguin"—the Iceberg has become one of the hottest nightspots in the city and on the entire East Coast, perhaps due to the notoriety of the owner. Constantly the site of movie premiere parties and political $1,000-a-plate fund-raisers, the Iceberg's namesake is a large, central, chilled, lagoon filled with miniature icebergs and featuring live penguins. Have no fear though; the lagoon is cordoned off with the latest technology that keeps the penguins, their aroma, and the cold air inside well enclosed, while a comfortable temperature is maintained within the rest of the restaurant. Naturally known for its seafood, the Iceberg has earned a four-star rating on numerous critics' lists. It is also praised for its nightly entertainment, featuring jazz and world-famous vocalists. Many an unknown has stood in front of the Iceberg backdrop one night and signed a multi-record deal the next. Not a family-style restaurant per se, the Iceberg is open for dinner and late night. Private dining rooms are made available at the discretion of the management." The Lounge first appeared in Detective Comics #683 (1995).
- Amusement Mile (p. 109-110): " Gotham's permanent amusement park was first built in the 1930s as a Depression Era project. While the Mile saw ups and down in popularity, it's currently experiencing a resurgence in interest and funding following No Man's Land. By opening its gates free to different Gotham neighborhoods on weekday evenings as part of the celebration following Gotham City's re-opening, the Mile has greatly helped its image. The amusement park features Ferris wheels, miniature roller coasters, and other thrill rides, as well as games of chance and shows. Its eastern end is where many circuses set up during their stay in Gotham." The Mile, inspired by Coney Island, first appeared in Batman #569 (1999).
