THR's weekly column on a notable comic book dives deep into The Dark Knight's latest adventure
and Zack Snyder’s films to create a Gotham City that equal parts German Expressionist nightmare, neon wonderland, functional landscape beset by politics and class struggles, and the ruined dreams of a hero struggling to find his way back. As we prepare to witness the emergence of a new Gotham City in Matt Reeves’Heat VisionGotham has always been the most fascinating city in all of comics, perhaps because it’s been so varied in terms of vision.
The first page of issue no. 87 gives a clear idea of what this new Gotham looks like. Towered over by ruined buildings and crumbling structures there’s a glow in the center, a haven of information and unnatural neon light. But this central glow is no sanctuary.

It’s a place where anything could happen and where the governing bodies of law and order cannot reach.
