Batman fans asked to save real Gotham's building
It may not look as grand as Wayne Manor, but villagers hope Batman fans might be able to help them save a community building in the real Gotham.
The building in the Nottinghamshire village - historically connected to the fictional Gotham City - closed amid financial problems and is up for sale.Campaigners are raising money to buy it and hope Batman fans will aid them.
"We all need a superhero around occasionally, don't we?," said John Anderson, who is leading fundraising
- Villagers in Gotham used to have a reputation for madness, and stories of their supposedly foolish acts were collected in various books including The Merie Tales of the Mad Men of Gotam, published in 1565.
- The American author Washington Irving became aware of the tales and repeatedly referred to Manhattan as Gotham when writing, in 1807, in the Salmagundi papers, a satirical periodical mocking New Yorkers.
- Gotham then became a popular nickname for New York City and is still used today, in shop names and notably at the Gotham Center for New York City History.
- Batman's setting in Detective Comics was initially referred to as an unnamed "teeming metropolis" and later explicitly identified as "New York".
- However, writer Bill Finger said he changed the name to Gotham City after looking through a phone book and seeing the name Gotham Jewelers.

The purr-fect Catwoman?
Camren Bicondova (GOTHAM) nails the part with her combination of sass and toughness, and she looks like she has the potential to slink with the best of them — but she has some awfully big high heels to fill.
Here’s a rundown of her predecessors in the role: the good, the bad but never the ugly.

San Francisco as Gotham City
How cool is this?
Experimenting with black and white film-making and time lapse, Toby Harriman figured out a way to turn San Francisco into Gotham City. It's a perfect example of how composing shots and using music turns a very identifiable city into a whole new one.

DeVito on The Penguin #Gotham
Robin Lord Taylor instantly became a fan favorite when Gotham premiered last fall, for his excellent performance as Oswald Cobblepot… aka the Penguin. So what does Danny DeVito, who played Penguin in Tim Burton’s Batman Returns, think? He’s a fan! Here’s what he told Access Hollywood yesterday at the Television Critics Association Winter Tour:
“I’ve watched the show. I think he’s a very good young Penguin. He’s a terrific actor.”

Bill Finger, Michael Uslan, and the inspiration for #Gotham
Noblemania: Bill Finger, Michael Uslan, and the inspiration fo...: The clever Michael Uslan (producer of every movie with Batman in it since 1989) had a brainstorm to hunt for a fun — and pivotal — piece of...cultural history.
Bill Finger named Batman's city after seeing a phone book listing for "Gotham Jewelers," and Michael found a February 1938 ad for the company in a digital newspaper archive. Here's another, from June, from the same Yonkers, NY paper:
