The Lady Gotham was a large statue that overlooked Gotham Harbor and bore significant resemblance to the Statue of Liberty in New York City. The head of the statue was partially damaged by Two-Face when he locked his helicopter on course to collide with it in an attempt to kill Batman.

The face of the statue was also depicted on both sides of Two-Face's Coin and on one side of the National Bank of Gotham's dollar bills.

It is based on the Statue of Freedom (later known as the Statue of Justice) which appeared in the comics as Gotham City's analogue to the Statue of Liberty.

Its name is identified in Akiva Goldsman's script for Batman Forever and in Peter David's Batman Forever novelization. It also appeared in a Gotham Globe newspaper prop used for the filming of the movie, which included an entire article about the Metro Council taking the first steps to allocate funds for the repair of the damaged Lady Gotham statue before the beginning of the tourist season.[1]

Modelmaker Pete Gerard helped sculpt the Lady Gotham miniature that was photographed and matted into Gotham's cityscape. Gerard also installed a rotating searchlight in the statue's torch.[2]

The statue was featured in McDonald's promotional art by Mark Stutzman.
