Two Greatest Words Ever: Batman LIVE

Hunter Camp   |  

Batman LiveThanks to our friends at /Film, the glorious news is out about a live-action, big budget stadium tour with Batman as the focal point called Batman Live. I don’t know about you guys, but that makes my life worth living until the tickets are available. What’s that you say? Tickets for the events in Europe are going on sale this week? Why, that’s phenomenal!

The tour dates, starting next year, were announced early Monday, but the project has been a secret project overall, so it was a little bit of a shock when they came out naming tour dates and locations in Europe leading up to their arrival in Summer 2012 in North America. In addition to the news, a “secret” Twitter page was discovered, and again, /Film did a great job of pulling together this info and were able to get the background from their account’s page, which gives a couple of clues as to who and what we will see in the project. There are couple of great things on their Facebook page as well, like a video featuring an orchestral rehearsal for the live event and the tour dates from the July shows in Manchester to the October shows in Belfast.

The live adventure will be a completely original story featuring the creative team of Alan Burnett and Stan Berkowitz, who have worked on the animated series of both Batman and Superman, as well as the animated adaptation of Justice League: New Frontier. The show will feature pyrotechnic work, video screens, and loads of action. I HAVE TO SEE THIS!

Here’s the news release from the official Batman Live website:

For the first time in DC Comics history, see Batman the world’s most popular DC Super Hero as you’ve never seen him before, in an all-new, live-action arena adventure, set to take the world by storm. Premiering in the UK in Summer 2011, Batman Live – World Arena Tour is a multi-million pound stage production of unprecedented scale and a must-see for families and Batman fans everywhere.

Based on an original story being created exclusively for the show, BATMAN LIVE is a theatrical extravaganza of thrilling stunts, acrobatic acts and illusions. Never before has Gotham City, Wayne Manor, the Batcave and Arkham Asylum been brought to life on stage in a more visually exciting way. Join Batman and Robin as they battle their nemesis The Joker and other super-villains such as The Riddler, Catwoman, The Penguin, Two-Face and Harley Quinn, set on destroying Gotham City.

Totally authentic, bold and awe-inspiring, BATMAN LIVE will be a completely new way to experience the world of Batman. This is one adventure you do not want to miss!

So, if you want to have a review of this, make sure to tell our editor, Empress Eve, that you want her to fly me to Europe to watch and review the glory. And if anyone from Warner is out there, I can play Penguin, AND I work for free!

  1. “So, if you want to have a review of this, make sure to tell our editor, Empress Eve, that you want her to fly me to Europe to watch and review the glory…”

    Actually, it might work much cheaper to ask me as I already live in the Uk(and I’m quite good at sending emails with pics and all, you know)… ;-p

    Great news! Seeing our favourite hero live has to be _the_ ultimate experience for any self-respecting bat-fan. Brilliant!
