DC Universe Geography Explained: How Gotham, Metropolis & Central City Connect

Warning: The following contains SPOILERS for The Flash movie.The geography of the DC Universe and the cities of Gotham City, Metropolis and Central City depicted in The Flash movie require explanation. Unlike their Marvel Comics counterparts (who mostly live around New York City) the heroes of DC Comics largely inhabit a number of fictional locations. Most of these have the word "city" in their name, such as Coast City, Star City and Opal City. This can cause confusion in regard to where the different fictional cities are in relation to one another.
Complicating the issue is the fact that the comics are inconsistent on the locations of these cities, and different adaptations place the cities in different places. For instance, while the Superman comics typically place Metropolis on the Eastern coast of the United States, the television series Smallville and Superman and Lois both portray Metropolis as being in the state of Kansas, a few hours drive from the town of Smallville. Thankfully, the DCEU films offer some context clues as to their exact geography in The Flash movie.
