Ongoing Fridays, Saturdays + Sundays: Superheroes Tour: Kids Free with Paid Adult!

Take a walk through the New York of Superman, Spiderman, Batman, Fantastic Four and all your favorite superheroes. Just added: Kick Ass and Iron Man 2 NYC film locations!

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 New York is the inspiration for both Batman’s Gotham City and Superman’s Metropolis. And in the Marvel Universe characters such as Spider-Man and the Fantastic Four inhabit the ‘real’ New York.

On this 1.5 hour walking tour you will see:

* The headquarters of Marvel Enterprises.
* The former offices of Bob Kane (creator of Batman) & Will Eisner (creator of The Spirit).
