I'm opening the quiz up to all comers!

#6: Could it be, "Manhattan"? Probably not, as I always thought that was the official name of the central core of the city? I wouldn't call it a slang name, and doesn't sound like a "Superhero" to me. Anyway, here is a short Musical Interlude . . . the popular song, "Manhattan" - recorded by many, especially popular by Ella Fitzgerald. Lots of other songs written about "Manhattan", as well as this one.

I live just North of NYC and have never heard anyone call it that --- except Batman & Robin. And even at that I don't know that they were referring to NYC, or just a fictitious place.

See - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gotham_City

20) Gotham (n.) - refers to New York City as a whole (this is a kind of joke about NYC, since Gotham is a corrupt city in the Batman comic franchise)

E.g. "Well, here in Gotham crime isn't exactly uncommon."

The most populous city in the U.S. also goes by the name Gotham, which was first used by Washington Irving in an 1807 issue of his literary magazine about the legends of an English village named Gotham.
