Detroit or Los Angeles?

[Vigilante]

Oh God, I always assumed Peyton/Darkman and his world were located in Los Angeles, of course an alternate version of Los Angeles whose "1990" had been radically different from ours.

Reading the original novelization (very good), I discovered I was wrong. The story takes place in Michigan (Detroit?) and Darkman lives and operates in the Wayne State.

Any clue about this in the original 1990 movie?

Well, seeing certain buildings, like the police building Durrant and his lawyer got out of after he was arrested, I'd say L.A.

Indeed!
What you can see on-screen is *CANON* in my book.
It feels like L.A., even.
