>>78769988> they were kinda embarrassed about having so many fictional cities around because it made it distinctly not-the-real-world.That's stupid, it's why I like DC. I can believe more easily that larger-than-life stuff can happen in a fictional city. Compare that to Marvel where everything's clusterfucked in NYC.
I always thought Hub City was pretty much Detroit times five. Absolutely irredeemable in terms of a crime reputation and makes Gotham look like a basket of kittens.
Star City? One way to make it pop, visually, is to glam it up with optimistic Art Deco. Huge, majestic statues built into buildings, high-tech gangs, shiny chrome concept cars.
Coast City's another questionable city too. Could work well to present it as half 50s suburbia, half rebuilt, high-tech industry complete with statues of GLs.
