Gotham City Living
Bloomsbury Academic (Verlag)
978-1-350-14889-5 (ISBN)
Surveying comic strip publications from the mid-20th century to modern depictions, this book explores a wide range of material from the universe as well as the most contemporary depictions of the caped crusader not yet fully addressed in a scholarly context. These include the works of Tom King and Gail Simone; the films by Christopher Nolan and Tim Burton; and the Batman animated series and Gotham television shows. Covering characters from Batman and Robin to Batgirl, Catwoman and Poison Ivy, Gotham City Living examines the Batman franchise as it has evolved, demonstrating how the city presents a timeline of social progression (and regression) in urban American society.
Erica McCystal teaches and directs a graduate program in the Education and Mathematics Department at Centenary University in New Jersey, USA and she has contributed to the volumes The Artistry of Neil Gaiman: Finding Light in the Shadows (2019) and Gothic Studies (2018). McCrystal is creator and host of the podcast Villains 101.
