ok so. in retrospect, this is something i really should've figured out a lot sooner (like. as in the very first time i picked up literally anything from this era, let alone when i actually read the wholeass arc), but i JUST NOW, after all this time, put two and two together and realized that pre-crisis(ish) connected-to-the-mainland gotham was retconned away and completely replaced with No Man's Land's always-an-island-city gotham

i have gone this entire time thinking that the nml earthquake literally ripped this wholeass city off the map and threw it out to sea as its own brand new little island chain. like shitty new jerseyan atlantis
