Yeah, I'd honestly solve the problem of "extra" cities by straight up making the DC universe's cities full-on substitutes for places like New York, Chicago, L.A., and so on. And yeah, I WOULD give a TV or cinematic DC universe their own politics, politicians, and pop culture references.
This video also firmly proves that Snyder's insistence trying to make his DC universe in our own was a mistake. If he wanted to make superhero movies that could be real life allegories... He would have had to get himself hired by Marvel Studios.

As I mentioned on the other board, I don't think it matters. Where did Avengers 2 take place? Was it the capital of Sokovia? Is it called Sokovia City? Don't know. Don't care. |

Relax, this is only here to poke DC fanatics. Hey! Look what I found on Google!  "Sokovia, officially the Republic of Sokovia is a small country located in eastern Europe. Its capital city is Novi Grad."

Age of Ultron took place in Sokovia (a fictional Eastern European country), New York City, Johannesburg, Seoul, London, Oslo, Upstate New York, Nidavellir, and Asgard (in an illusion). The capitol of Sokovia is Novi Grad. j/s |

For me, the high number of fictional cities that presumably double for or, are adjacent to, real-world cities was too high a barrier of entry into the DC mythos. Had I started younger, it may not have been as much of a big deal.

Another stupid video by a stupid MCU fan. That's not true, looking at this. |

Another stupid video by a stupid MCU fan. What, no counterargument? So you insult his intelligence because he's right? |

You could choose not to reference it at all or would you say it happened in one of the proxy cities like Metropolis? Does/Did Metropolis have a WTC? I admit it's a very nerdy nitpick but, it kind of matters. Yes, it was a colossal blunder. The DC Universe is its own separate set of realities. Trying to merge in real-world events and figures into it ironically makes it feel less real. The DC Universe has always had the quality of epic fantasy or a fairy tale and, I don't mean that negatively. |

He's just another stupid MCU fan who made another stupid video. He claims how could Barack Obama or Donald Trump be elected POTUS in the DCEU? What a stupid question! It's like the showgirl said to the prince "That's the funny thing about general elections. You never really know who's going to win." That was true in 2016 when a guy with had never held any political office beat a former First Lady and Secretary of State to become POTUS. |

In fairness, the a Marvel universe also has this problem when it comes to fictional countries like Wakanda, Sokovia or Latveria.

They paid him to give out a few pro DCEU critiques, so when he starts to complain about them he has proof that he isn't a Di$ney Shill. Can't you see it. Di$ney pays everyone. Hell they paid Snyder to intentionally tank the DCEU and all the Critic$ to complain about it. They even LET the Critic$ be nice about Wonder Woman to throw off the scent. |
