Book Review: EXPLORING GOTHAM CITY

2921

SYNOPSIS: EXPLORING GOTHAM CITY 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.  


EXPLORING GOTHAM CITY (AN ILLUSTRATED GUILD) is a beautiful picture book that explores Batman’s hometown, Gotham City.

Every aspect of Gotham and Batman’s world is covered with written details and wonderful artwork by Studio Muti.

Starting with the introduction written by Bruce Wayne, the book comes off as a guide for travelers interested in visiting Gotham.  However, the author is either the aforementioned Bruce Wayne or someone who knows about Mr. Wayne’s nocturnal vigilante endeavors!

So, who is this book for?

Clearly, it’s written on a kid’s level, so it’s certainly a book for youngsters.  I personally think it makes for an excellent conduit for kids to the world of Batman.  In fact, if one was giving this as a gift for a young person as an introduction to the character, pair it up with THE LEGO BATMAN MOVIE and I’m sure another lifelong Bat-Fan will be made!

With that said, it’s also something that the adult Bat-Fan will want in their collection — trust me, I’m 55 years old and loved it!

EXPLORING GOTHAM CITY will be released on March 16, 2021.  CLICK HERE to order. – Bill “Jett” Ramey

Bill “Jett” Ramey isn’t just a Batman fan — he’s one of the founding fathers of the online Batman community. As the creator and Editor-in-Chief of Batman-On-Film.com, the original and longest-running Batman news and commentary site, Jett helped carve the very bedrock of modern fan internet press. A lifelong Dark Knight disciple, Jett has spent decades championing filmmaker‑driven Batman stories, cutting through fanboy noise with a Texas‑sized dose of honesty, and keeping the conversation smart, civil, and drama‑free. He’s the BOF Godfather — the guy who was here before the hashtags, before the clickbait, before the algorithms… and he’s still here, still talking Batman, still calling it straight. When he steps out of Gotham, Jett is pure Texas. He bleeds Dallas Cowboys blue, blasts Elvis and rock ’n’ roll, and has a deep appreciation for cold beer, dive bars, and Texas Longhorns football. He works out, he cooks, and he can grill like a man who’s earned the right to say “don’t assume” when he tells you he lives in the great state of Texas. He shares that home with his wife — “Announcer Rachel” — and their dogs: Gracelin the Labradoodle and Presley, a rescue pup named after the King himself.
