This is seriously the best episode I have seen of the series, and I can't wait to talk about it on the podcast!

Catch Up: Grant Morrison

Hello Gothamites,

One of the new things we want to do for you is something we are calling "Gotham Catch Up" where we take a series or a writer's run on a book, and discuss as much as we can about it.

In the first installment, in honor of The Return of Bruce Wayne, we will be discussing Grant Morrison's epic run on Batman into the current run on Batman & Robin. Both Justin and I are reworking our way through the series, and we wanted to give you a heads up if you want to follow along. So, here's your head's up on the titles we will be discussing.

Batman: Black Casebook
Batman and Son
Batman: The Black Glove
Batman: R.I.P.
Final Crisis
Batman and Robin, Vol. 1: Batman Reborn
Batman and Robin Issues #7-12, which I believe you can find at Things From Another World

But if you aren't caught up, don't worry because that's what we are here for!

Be on the lookout for this episode later this month, we just wanted to give you fair warning.

Suggested Reading: April 14, 2010

Maps of Gotham City

Now, I know that Gotham can and does get face lifts as far as cartography goes, but I've recently been curious to see the actual location of things like Narrows Island, Crime Alley, and Arkham as Asylum as they relate to Wayne Manor, etc.

So, I did a nice little Google search and found these great pictures from ChrisRoberson.net!
