Morphology
The meaning 'the cultural practices of residents of Gotham City' is directly and compositionally derived from 'Gothamite' (inhabitant of Gotham City) + 'culture' (shared customs), so a learner who knows both words can infer the phrase. The noun-noun pattern 'X culture' meaning 'culture of X' is a regular, cross-linguistic compositional pattern, so the expression is transparent despite referring to a fictional place.
Etymology
Gothamite culture comes from the city 'Gotham' in Batman stories, a dark, busy place full of crime, art, and tough people. Here Gothamite means a person from that city and culture means their everyday habits, so the phrase points to the special customs and ways people live in that dramatic city.
