Why this object matters
The incorporation of Anton Furst’s Gotham architecture and the bound Furst feature make this a specific bridge between film production design and comic-book space. Its importance exceeds that of a routine crossover instalment. The feature is indexed, but the held interior has not yet been photographed.
Evidence limits: No detachable premium or insert is known for this issue. The special six-page Furst feature is part of the bound comic. Interior completeness has not yet been physically verified from photographs.
