I made a promise on the grave of my parents to rid this city of the criminals who took their lives. By day I am Bruce Wayne, billionaire philanthropist. By night I am called...BATMAN
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. Taking place at the Echo Arena from 7-11 September 2011, Batman Live -- World Arena Tour is a multi-million pound stage production of unprecedented scale with a 3D Gotham City landscape and a 100-ft bat-shaped LED video wall. Acrobats suspended in the air, The Joker's henchmen in choreographed fight sequences, a 3D Gotham City landscape and stunning video animation are all part of the BATMAN LIVE experience. This is a must-see for families and Batman fans everywhere.
BATMAN LIVE will focus on the story of young Dick Grayson (Robin), a circus performer who loses his parents to organised crime.
Faithfully adapted from the DC Comics characters and stories, 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. One of the exciting elements is the eye-catching all-new Batmobile, designed especially for the show by legendary racing car designer Professor Gordon Murray, known for designing race cars for some of the most successful teams in the world for Formula One racing, as well as the famous McLaren F1 road car.
Murray wanted the overall effect of the Batmobile to be high impact, combining his imagination and Formula One knowledge the car has F1 aerodynamics, F1 materials, F1 systems and a hydrogen engine that is powered by advanced Wayne industries technology, lasers, sonar and virtual wheels -- gravity opposing force field generators that suspend the car above the ground. A fitting car for a legendary hero!
A dazzling celebration of storytelling and stagecraft, BATMAN LIVE is at its heart an affecting coming of age story. Bruce Wayne and Dick Grayson -- both orphaned at an early age -- must first learn to overcome their own fears and forge their own family -- along with Police Commissioner James Gordon and Bruce's trusted butler, Alfred Pennyworth -- if they're going to survive the combined forces of Batman's larger-than-life rogues gallery: The Joker, The Penguin, Catwoman, The Riddler, Two-Face, Harley Quinn and Poison Ivy.
