Hello. Your edits to Gotham City here and here have been reverted for the following reasons:

The Today show article that you cited, which is already cited elsewhere in the article, and contains no such "claim" by Tim Burton. It mentions Burton's film, but does not attribute any claim about the design of Gotham City to him. The one single mention of him in that article is the following sentence:


 * "In Tim Burton's 1989 classic "Batman," newspaper reporters pore over a map that looks like Manhattan."

The bit about the alleyways of Chicago refers to comics artist Neal Adams' use of that reference for his rendition of the city in his comics work, not the films. Nor is this mentioned in the 3 Brothers article that for some reason, you indicated was an archived version of the Today article, when it clearly is not.

In that same edit, at the bottom of that same paragraph, you also shoehorned into a direct quote by Anton Furst on his inspiration for his architectural designs the phrase "and Chicago", and "and 1920s Chicago" to the sentence that references Andreas Feininger's photos of 1940s New York, even though those words clearly do not appear in the cited source. Fabricating claims not made in a cited source, and passing them off as if they do including a portion of a direct quote, is clearly not acceptable.

As for your second edit, the passage you wrote is difficult to understand, as it essentially incoherent, aside from inclusion of your personal observation of what is "magnificent" or "amazing", which violate Wikipedia's policies on neutrality, original research, and formality of tone. I would have edited this based on what the source you cited said, but aside from being a page from Previews, which is a primary source, and therefore a violation of WP:PSTS, it says nothing encyclopedic about the article topic that can be added to the section in the Wikipedia article, which already covers the city's appearances in animated Batman movies and TV shows.
