Gotham City (Arkhamverse)

Gotham City is the open world game environment in Batman: Arkham Origins.

Environment
Gotham City's environment in Arkham Origins is set five years before the events of Batman: Arkham City on Christmas Eve, and shares both similarities and drastic differences with Arkham City's environment. The city consists of two islands: Old Gotham, a more older section of Gotham which will eventually become Arkham City, and New Gotham, a larger, wealthier, and modern section of Gotham filled with corporation buildings and towering skyscrapers. The two islands are separated by the large Gotham Pioneers Bridge.

Old Gotham contains many of Arkham City's districts and buildings, including a Park Row, Industrial District, a more intact Amusement Mile which has not yet been flooded, the Bowery, as well as Sheldon Park, an area in the center which eventually becomes the restricted section of Arkham City. Wonder Tower is located here. There are also some new locations included, such as the Gotham Merchants Bank in the Bowery, Dixon Docks and Penguin's ship, the Final Offer, in the Amusement Mile, and also various GCR towers located in each district of Gotham.

In New Gotham, there are three districts: the Diamond District, a majestic and wealthy part of Gotham consisting of tall, well-lit buildings and covered in Christmas decorations. Notable buildings here include the massive Royal Hotel, Gotham City Cinema, the Gotham News Building, and the Soder Cola company building. The second district in New Gotham is the Coventry area, which is a more industrial section of Gotham. Notable buildings here include Lacey Towers, and the Cale-Anderson building. The southern section of New Gotham has a more older-looking area, the Burnley district, which is filled mostly with smaller apartments, has accesible sewers running below it, and is also the home of the GCPD building and the headquarters of Enigma.

Both islands also have an unaccessible wall. In Old Gotham, a long structure similar to a watershed or irrigation system borders a section of Sheldon Park. A small part of this area's interior is accessible. In New Gotham, a
