"When we are in the exploration phase, we always come at these stunts from a fan perspective and try to think of ideas that we all would find engaging, exciting, cool and fun," Ryan said. "

"With Gotham, we felt that the city is such an important character within the show that it would great if we could build out an experience that could immerse fans in that fascinating world - and the urban zip line was the perfect way to deliver on that. For the Uber promotion, we know everyone at Comic-Con is looking for ways to get around all the events in San Diego and thought there was no cooler way for fans to be able to show up to panels and parties than in a Gotham City police car - for free," she continued.
