Over at /Film, they’ve posted an excellent (and very detailed) map of Batman’s own Gotham City, thanks to Brandon T. Snider‘s all-new “The Dark Knight Manual.” Laid out in a traditional style, the officially approved map is one heck of a tool when it comes to contextualizing Christopher Nolan‘s The Dark Knight trilogy and just where the action of his beloved blockbusters plays out, and it’s a true must-examine for all Batman fans. But it’s not the only richly imagined comic book city out there – DC Comics in particular has crafted some notable fictional cities over the years, and seeing them rendered in such a manner is the stuff geeking out is made of. A little bit of digging around the Internet turned up a number of comic book city maps worth a look (though none of them as official as Snider’s look at Gotham), including takes on Metropolis, Smallville »

When I was a kid and beginning my life-long love of Star Wars I had a big book that had images and blueprints for every vehicle in George Lucas' universe. I would spend hours and hours leafing through it, looking at the engines of A-Wings and the outlay of the cabin in the Slave 1. It excited me because while I knew it was all fictional, I loved the idea that there were people out there who obsessed over the same kind of details. Now we're learning that when Christopher Nolan's The Dark Knight Rises comes out this summer it will come with its own companion guide to the Batman universe. SuperHeroHype has learned of a book in development titled The Dark Knight Manual: Tools, Weapons, Vehicles & Documents From The Batcave. Written by Brandon T. Snider, the book takes an extremely close look at the world of the Nolan Batman Universe. »
