Why were Metropolis and Gotham literally right next to each other?

Sister cities
laziness

Because they had to be able to show the bat signal in the distance from one city to the next.
Absolutely hack job.
>Gotham is over run with crime, that Bruce can't handle by himself
>Superman right fucking next door, can't be assed to clean up Gotham.
Isn't Metropolis supposed to be based on NY, while Gotham based on Chicago?
Snyder can't geography.
New York and Jersey

Because they are both New York. So in world, they are sister cities.
This has been show for great effect--- how there can be a hurricane raging over Gotham while Metropolis has sunny weather and rainbows at the border between the two cities.
Of course, if Gotham was really a twin city to Metropolis, then Superman sure is a lot shittier than ever. After all, it wouldn't be much more effort for him to fly over Gotham and protect its citizens as well as he protects Metropolis. And he could just blow away all of Gotham's constant smog/fog/rainstorms/thunderstorms/hurricanes to give the city a good dose of sunshine.

They were probably thinking it was the equivalent of jersey city/hoboken and nyc. It was still a stupid choice and there's no excuse for it though.

Jersey City then.

Both are based on New York
>>67537349
It's a traditional portrayal that puts them on the east coast near each other.
Sometimes Metropolis is a Chicago-like midwestern city(and indeed, Chicago is used for Metropolis in many shots in MoS and BvS), but it's easier for every city to just be New York City.

Always been separated by a bay.
Why not?
Is this an actual argument against the film?
Why are New York and New Jersey literally right next to each other?
