    I am currently in the midst of an indepth discussion / argument with my friend.

    We are both attending the first night of the Batman Show in the O2.

    I want to dress up for the occasion. My friend is advising strongly against it and thinks that I will be the only adult dressing up on the night.

    Any advice?

    Never mind your friend; ask yourself:

    What would Batman do?

    I like it. Batman would do what is right. And I think dressing up is the right thing to do!! Thank you.

    Do me a favor & come back here a post a pic please?

    Also, if you'd post a review I'd really appreciate it. I was afraid to buy a ticket, because I figured it'd be pants.

    I am going on the first night myself, have no intentions on dressing up. Was at Star Wars a few months back, plenty of people dressed up. Dont think annoyed looked at the funny. In fact I applauded most peoples attempt. Do it. I will however resign myself to my Batman/Superman t-shirt which inevitably I will have won that week and forget to wash.

    Compromise: Wear an expensive suit and if anyone thinks you look out of place and remarks as much, say you're dressed as Bruce Wayne. :)

    Any views on the show.

    Just back. If you want to see a good play dont go to batman live. If you want a bit of fun and some batman action then it delivers. There is a easily predictable plot, some good villans (notable the Joker is excellent) and one twist at the end. Lots of acrobatics, so be prepared. I really enjoyed it. Loads of kids dressed up in batman suits and the like.

    There is lots of crap at it yea. T shirts for 20 odd euro, capes for 12, masks for 5, program for 15.

    I went last night and really enjoyed it. Plenty of cheese but good fun. Thought the first half was a bit slow but the second half was excellent and overall a really enjoyable evening.

    Anyone else have tickets for a 12pm show tomorrow? Says 12 on mine but all the websites say 4 and 8! They were comps.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 11,642 ✭✭✭✭wolfmoon87


    The 12 o'clock show was cancelled.
    I originally had tickets for that show, but I recieved an email from Ticketmaster asking me to ring them. They told me the 12 o'clock was cancelled. I changed to the 4 o'clock show.

    Ring them tomorrow and see if you can change it for the 4 o'clock or 8 o'clock show, or get a refund maybe.

    I saw it on Saturday. It was a pretty good show, the tone matched the comics pretty well for the most part. Harley Quinn stole the show, she was spot on.

    awwww this show was a huge let down. i think it had massive potential. i know it was based on the comic books but my god it was disppointing and was kind of close to the old 60's Batman with Adam West. if i had a kid, i probably would of loved it aswell. but i went with my girlfriend who surprising loved it.

    so if they make it like Nolan's Dark Knight i may think of going to it in the future
