Gotham TikTok / Gotham FYP

About

Gotham TikTok, also known as Gotham FYP, refers to a TikTok trend in which creators pretend that Gotham (from Batman) is a real city. The TikTokers pretend that they're Gotham citizens and imagine TikTok drama and discourse that plausibly inserts the city. The trend started in early 2024.

Origin
