I saw the movie "Supergirl" a few days ago, and a map showing Metropolis was shown in it, placing it in mid-USA. I was very suprised to see that, I've always thought it was on the east coast.

Yeah, I know. On Lois and Clark, it *is* on the east coast. In TAG,D, when Dr. Kline was tracking the sattilite, the map showed, that New Troy was on the east coast.
And we all know, of course, that the city of Metropolis is in the state of New Troy.
In fact, I'm surprised that it isn't "New Kroy". "Kroy" spelt backwards is York. New York is also on the east coast.

Someone once said that Metropolis is New York during the day, and Gotham City is New York during the night. -- Chris Cypser - http://www.nyx.net/~ccypser I feel more like when I came in than I do now. Don't you?

Okay--everyone who just made a mental note to listen *a lot* closer next time they think the name of the state is going to be mentioned, *raise your hands!*

As vastly different as they are, both Metropolis and Gotham City are supposed to be New York. (Indeed, Batman stories were set in New York durign the early 1940s.) It was comics writer and artist John Byrne (who revamped Superman in the 1980s) who said Metropolis is New York by day, and Gotham is New York by night.

In L&C Metropolis could well be New York, since I don't recall New York being mentioned in the series (I could be wrong).
However, in the DC Comics universe, New York exists as well as Metropolis and Gotham - New York is the home of the New Teen Titans.
I'm not going to go by anything I know from the comics, just my own thought, and somethin' I saw on Batman: The Animated Series. I'm fairly sure that New York and Metropolis are kind of like neighboring cities in the DC Universe. But I know from an episode of B:TAS that Gotham is in Long Island. Don't know if any of this helps. Anyways...

In reality Metropolis is a small town in Southern Illinois

True and in L&C-world it is in the state of New Troy which if it was actually New Kroy it would be York spelled backwards. BUT, in the state of New York there is a city named Troy. Hmmmmm...
