Blüdhaven

Blüdhaven is a fictional city located in the state of New Jersey in the DC Comics universe. It is most famously known as the home of the superhero Nightwing, Dick Grayson, who established his base of operations there after leaving Gotham City. Blüdhaven is depicted as a gritty, crime-ridden metropolis, often considered a darker and more corrupt counterpart to Gotham. Its industrial past has left it with a decaying infrastructure and a struggling economy, making it fertile ground for criminal organizations.

The city's law enforcement is often portrayed as corrupt or overwhelmed by the pervasive criminal element. This has necessitated the presence of vigilantes like Nightwing to protect its citizens. Over the years, Blüdhaven has been the setting for numerous storylines involving Nightwing and other members of the Bat-family, as well as various supervillains. Despite its bleak portrayal, the city also possesses a core population of ordinary people who deserve protection, a sentiment often echoed by its resident hero. Its proximity to Gotham City has also led to crossover events and interactions between the two urban environments.
