SDCC 2014: Fox’s Gotham Will Dominate
By Steve Lam
People may be able to record panels and secretly bootleg exclusive teasers at Comic-Con, but there are some things that can’t be duplicated — namely, interactive activities. With that in mind, Fox has really gone out of its way to really make Gotham‘s presence unique and unforgettable.
At the Fox Fanfare Booth #4229, attendees will be able to get autographs from talent and producers. There will also be daily giveaways of posters and lenticular collectibles.
This is where it gets awesome. Right outside of the convention center, Fox will be giving attendees a unique experience. Between the Hilton Bayfront Hotel and the convention center, Fox has created the Gotham Zipline — a 130-foot long and 30-foot high zip-line. Attendees will be able to fly through a recreation of Gotham’s cityscape and receive a shareable photo of their experience. Ben McKenzie, Donal Logue, and the rest of the cast and producers are set to appear at the site also.
That’s not all, Fox has partnered with Uber to offer attendees free rides (up to $30) around San Diego. The Uber cars will be dressed up like Gotham Police cars and potential passengers can schedule a ride by selecting “Gotham PD” on their Uber slider. Once inside, passengers can watch sneak previews of Gotham.

My envy meter is at an all-time high right now. I’m thinking about making a trip down to San Diego just for the zip-line. I wonder if you have to be a badge holder to get in on that action?
