Gotham's a darker setting, though, and while in Metropolis you're probably going to be caught in a safe net by the super-fast Kryptonian while a nuke/plane/bird sent by Douchey Mc Evil is falling down on your city; in Gotham you are definitely going to die whenever Halloween comes and Joker/Scarecrow/Donut Steel triggers a Batfamily Crossover with the poison gas cloud encompassing the whole city. I mean, 2016 was SHIT for Gotham, first the Joker, than immediately Dr. Bloom with the same plot, now Hugo Strange and BANE...

I'd rather live in Central City, Flash is someone who can save you from death, doesn't have the "cool rival" factor that brings villains to Supes, and doesn't need the brood factor that makes his villains go for mass murder, like Batman. Flash's only brooding comes from his daddy figures and girlfriends. Or just my home country, where there are no known superdouches in sight.
