The Dark Knight Saves Gotham City

To start, we go to The Dark Knight Saves Gotham City Fine Art Print. Undoubtedly, this photo captures the true essence (and chaos) of Gotham. Of course, Thomas Kinkade Studios always provides idyllic depictions absolutely bursting with energy. In this detailed print, we get Batman and Robin ready to face down all the greatest villains of Gotham, including The Joker, The Penguin, Two-Face, Poison Ivy, and more.

Batman Life-Size Cowl

Now, we can’t speak for anyone else. But we can assure you that this Batman Life-Size Cowl by PureArts makes us feel like we’re right inside the Batcave in Tim Burton’s 1989 classic, Batman. In fact, this replica was created by making 3D scans of the original cowl from the film. Better still, underneath the cowl there is even more detail: a Gotham City mayoral house statue with a removable Batman logo. This life-size figure really does bring the story to life.

Batman and Catwoman Art Print

Next up, Jorge Jimenez brings us to the very top of Gotham City with the Batman and Catwoman Fine Art Print. Somehow, it’s as if we are a drop of rain watching down on Gotham’s most popular couple. Clearly, the Bat and the Cat are playing cat and mouse with yet another villain. Their cool and collected stares reign down over the ember streets of Gotham. This depiction of Gotham offers a look into the nightlife of America’s most dangerous city.

Batman Eternal

Honestly, Batman has impacted Gotham City in more ways than we can possibly name. Better yet, he’s slowly but surely created an entire Bat-Family. The heroes that he works alongside, depicted here with Robin, Batwoman, and Red Hood, really are his family. And, don’t tell Calendar Man, but the villains who make up his Rogues Gallery are like that uncle you don’t want to talk to on Thanksgiving. Each of them are connected — just ask Harley Quinn and Scarecrow. In the Batman Eternal Fine Art Print by Jason Fabok, we see how they all are in his shadow.

Batman: The Adventures Continue

Well, let’s continue the adventure with Dave Johnson’s Batman: The Adventures Continue Fine Art Print. Here, we can appreciate the looming presence of Batman as he’s silhouetted by the moon. In this depiction of Gotham, villains have left their mark on the very walls and structure of Gotham itself. This overwhelming influence is represented by a mural of villains like Deathstroke, Mr. Freeze, Poison Ivy, and so many others. Meanwhile, the buildings themselves seem to reach up above the moon like claws, piercing the blood-red sky.

Gotham City flashes and squeezes in towards the action. In fact, the city in this photo is just like us — leaning in and eager for more.

The Joker (Deluxe) Maquette

Ha Ha Ha! Certainly, you didn’t expect this gift guide to finish without the Clown Prince of Crime, did you? After all, what is Gotham without The Joker? At the very least, it would be boring. Admittedly, it would also be much safer. Alas, no collection (or gift guide) would be complete without The Joker (Deluxe) Maquette by Tweeterhead. We get to see the Clown Prince on his throne, adorned with details and delights galore. If you’re a fan of Batman lore, then every inch of this piece will be bursting with story for you.

This Gotham is ornate, old, and oppressive. Yes, this Gotham surrounds you.
