    BURBANK, Calif., - November 8, 2010 - Warner Bros. Consumer Products (WBCP), DC Entertainment and Nick Grace of Water Lane Productions Ltd (WLP) announced today that BATMAN LIVE - a unique action-packed live show - will tour arenas for the first time ever across the UK and Europe, beginning in summer 2011 and arriving in North America by summer 2012.

    Opening in Manchester on 20th July 2011 and visiting Newcastle, Glasgow, Sheffield, Birmingham, London, Liverpool, Nottingham, Dublin and Belfast, tickets for BATMAN LIVE go on sale on Friday 12th November 2010.

    BATMAN LIVE is a visually stunning production, complete with a brand new original storyline. The live show will feature Batman, his trusty counterpart Robin, tireless butler Alfred and a host of other favourite Batman characters, including Villains such as The Joker, The Riddler, Catwoman and The Penguin. The story will take place in several settings from the famed DC Comics stories, including Gotham City, Wayne Manor, the Batcave and Arkham Asylum.

    "With the touring BATMAN LIVE show, we're bringing Batman's adventures to live audiences for the very first time," said Geoff Johns, Chief Creative Officer, DC Entertainment. "The idea that we're doing it with a production team this talented and with this much passion is thrilling."

    "When a character has as wide an audience and as rich a history as Batman, it's truly exciting to see him introduced into an all-new storytelling medium," says Jim Lee, Co-Publisher, DC Comics. "BATMAN
    LIVE will bring a completely new experience to fans of the character - it's great to be able to give them something they haven't seen before."

    "Batman is one of the most iconic and recognizable brands in the world," said Brad Globe, President, Warner Bros. Consumer Products. "For the very first time, we are bringing the world of Batman to life in a live show. And the fact that we are doing it within arena-sized venues is sure to be a thrill for audiences of all ages."

    BATMAN LIVE, produced by Nick Grace of Water Lane Productions, will feature impressive stunts, pyrotechnics, illusions and video screen sequences. Totally authentic, bold and awe-inspiring, BATMAN LIVE will offer a completely new way to experience the world of Batman and will be a must-see for fans and families everywhere.

    "BATMAN LIVE will be a totally unique experience. This is not a musical but a high quality live show with a thrilling Batman story, filled with action, that will appeal to adults, teenagers and families," said Nick Grace.

    "Batman is more than a comic book character, he's a cultural phenomenon and we are proud to have this opportunity to be involved with one of the most popular DC Super Heroes in the world today."


    BATMAN LIVE is based on an original story being created exclusively for the show. Creative Director is Anthony van Laast and Co-Director, James Powell. Set design by Es Devlin, music composed by James Brett, sound design by Simon Baker, lighting design by Patrick Woodroffe, video direction by Sam Pattinson, costume design by Jack Galloway. Circus sequences created, produced and managed in association with Circus Space with Bryan Donaldson and Juliette Hardy-Donaldson as circus consultants.

    I'd imagine it would be a family-friendly event. I can't find any mention so far about it having an age limit.

    Will know more once the tickets are on general release.

    If you can read this, you're too close!

    That sounds amazing. If I'm still in Ireland then count me in. :)

    Sounds pretty cool to me! Interested.

    Yea, I hear it'll be in The Point at some stage. My only fear is that it'll be really pants and will have "action" and not "violence" which is what any proper Batman anything needs.

  • Closed Accounts Posts: 6,131 ✭✭✭subway


    this cant be good, it reminds me of all the stage shows at universal and disney.
    think terminator 3d etc.

    good for 5 mins but ultimately, a bit childish.


  • Registered Users Posts: 35,024 ✭✭✭✭Baggly


    Is anyone else thinking we should stage our own, copyright infringing, version of Batman; the musical?

    >.>

    <.<


    ....Me neither....

    Ill wait for the new Batman film and tide myself over with comics till then, thank you. :pac::cool::pac:


  • Registered Users Posts: 9,195 ✭✭✭maximoose


    im very intruiged by it all, "theatrical extravaganza of thrilling stunts, acrobatic acts and illusions".

    30e a ticket isnt too bad, so I picked two up this morning and if it looks crap i'll just sell them closer to the time :)
