I know that Gotham City is located near New Jersey, but is it part of New Jersey? If not, then to what state does it belong to?

hm..... could be. However Gotham is also another term used for NYC. Not an official term, but a term nontheless.
but....
In Batman Chronicles (if I remember rightly, it may have been a different series) the story sets Gotham in the Central Time Zone. so that would but it somewhere on the Great Lakes, near Chicago, or in Gulf of Mexico. But we can scratch the Gulf. So I'm set on either:
Gotham, New York
or
Gotham, Illinois

Gotham Illinois? I cant see gotham being in the midwest.
And don't forget that it was near the ocean. and mountains. and deserts. I believe that gotham is its own state and is located to border California, New york, Texas, and for some reason South Dekota. Probably somewhere near springfield.

for some reason DC doesn't like to add states to their made up cities, what state is Metropolis in, smallville has it in kansas, in the middle of the U.S., yet they have a large port like New York??
