‘Exploring Gotham City’ Insight Editions’ Latest Book Takes Deep Look Into Batman’s Home

Article by Steve J. Ray

The amazing Insight Editions have announced another great new Batman/DC title, Exploring Gotham City.

Insight produce the most gorgeous art and reference books money can buy, and I’m a huge fan of their work. They make amazing books for children, for adults, and even for those - like me - that are somewhere between the two.

The latest volume is written by the amazing Matthew K. Manning, a friend of Fantastic Universes, and a firmly established authority on everything Batman related, so I can’t wait to read this book!

Here’s the official press release, direct from Insight Editions:

EXPLORING GOTHAM CITY – Insight Editions; March 16, 2021

This new book combines striking full-color illustrations of Gotham City with interactive elements that reveal the secrets of the most fascinating locations from the birthplace of the Dark Knight.

Explore famous landmarks like the Batcave, Arkham Asylum, and Wayne Manor and uncover the mysteries of Gotham City.

The first in a series of large-scale interactive books that explore the iconic locations from the world of DC, Exploring Gotham City is the perfect book for readers of all ages who want to investigate the tumultuous city Batman calls home.

Matthew K. Manning is a comic book writer, historian, and fan. He’s written comics for DC Comics and Marvel, including Beware the Batman, Batman/Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Adventures, Spider-Man Unlimited, and Marvel Romance Redux. When not writing comics themselves, he writes books about the comic book medium and its rich history.

How awesome does that sound? Plus the fact that this volume is just the first of a new series? Where will Insight Editions take us next? Metropolis? Central City? Apokolips? The possibilities are endless, and I’m on board, no matter what!

Exploring Gotham City has a March 16th release date, and don’t forget; Fantastic Universes readers can claim 35% off their orders from Insight Editions by entering the code DKN 35 at checkout!

If any of the previously mentioned things has piqued your interests, then I implore you to check out Mystic Muses. You can find this wonderfully crafted podcast where you can find all your other favourites including Spotify. There are currently four episodes out. Episode 0 is the prologue and character introductions, and I have to say it is very well put together!

Fantastic Universes Interview: Madison, Matthew and Macsen Lintz From 'The Walking Dead'

Image
Interview panel led by Steve J. Ray, with a gathering of Comic/TV Media Journalists. I've spoken to some amazing people over the last couple of years; writers, artists, costume designers, and actors from some of my favorite TV shows. It's no secret that I'm a huge comic-book fan, and one of the TV series that's based on and inspired by a comics title - but has gone on to be so much more - is The Walking Dead . At a recent Comic-Con in London, I had the great opportunity of leading a panel where some fellow journalists and I spoke with Madison, Matthew and Macsen Lintz, three siblings who played Sophia and both iterations of Henry on the show. The eldest, Madison Lintz (born 1999) played Sophia Peletier - Carol's daughter - in the first two seasons. She's also well known for playing Maddie Bosch in the Amazon series Bosch . She started acting at the age of six, filming commercials and voice-overs. Matthew (born 2001) took over the role of Henry from ...
