Batman Live Plot Revealed

Stadium tour will be all about how Dick Grayson became Robin. There’s a new Batmobile too

Warner Bros, DC and Water Lane Productions Ltd have revealed that the plot to Batman Live , a stunt-filled stadium spectacular that debuts in the UK later this year – will concentrate on the Dark Knight’s sidekick, Robin. The show will also feature an all-new-specially-designed Batmobile.

“Faithfully adapted from the DC Comics characters and stories,” says the press release, not quite going into detail about which version from the comics they’re being faithful to, “ Batman Live focuses on Robin’s quest for justice, which leads him to follow in the footsteps of his hero, the mysterious vigilante known as the Batman – much to the dismay of his protective guardian, millionaire Bruce Wayne – who secretly happens to be Batman. This dynamic triangle resolves itself in a non-stop thrill-ride across Gotham City that transforms Bruce Wayne and Dick Grayson into the legendary crime-fighters Batman and Robin and transports the audience from the Big Top of Haly's Circus to the lower depths of Arkham Asylum – from the glittering peaks of the Penguin’s Iceberg Lounge to the subterranean wonders that await inside the Batcave.”
