New York Holidays
The Superhero Tour of New York City
Walk through the New York City of Superman, Spiderman, Batman and the Fantastic Four. Comic books and superheroes were invented in New York in the
1930s and the city continues to cast its influence over the genre to this very
day. In the DC Universe, NYC is the inspiration for both Batman’s Gotham
City and Superman’s Metropolis. In the Marvel Universe, characters such as
Spider-Man and the Fantastic Four inhabit the ‘real’ NYC.
