Batman is going on tour, and we're not talking about Grant Morrison's Batman Inc or Bruce Wayne's regularly scheduled inspection of his cog and sprocket manufacturing plant in Bangalore. No, we're talking about gypsies. And by gypsies we mean dancers and actors trying to make it in the soul-crushing world of theatrical performance! It's the Batman Live World Arena Tour!
Now, combining the Batman mythos with a Cirque du Soleil style theatrical experience might sound odd. It is. But there's a method to the madness. And it's that madness is typically fun.
See, even Damian is into it. Though he'll probably play understudy to other Robins less prone to spur lawsuits and pyrotechnic mishaps.
Now, we heard about this curious production last year, and it sounded a little like this:
But it turns out there's Bullet Time, and it's actually much more like this, according to AintItCoolNews:
Wanna go? Here's a list of the initial European stops. American dates forthcoming.

Hopefully it comes somewhere close in the US for me. Would love to take my little girl to this.
No.
i hope its nothing like the spiderman live…
Yes. For the love of god, yes.
I say this completely without irony: I would love to see a super campy Batman adventure live on stage.
all those venues are arenas rather than theatres so its far easier for them to do stunts just because of the space they will have , it will i imagine be staged on the arena floor where standing spectators would normally be for concerts
I got my tickets a month ago. They’re for october.
My son can’t wait for the summer to be over.
No- just No.
@ericmci Oh Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes!
I’d go see it, even if it were cheesy.
Wait… why the hell did Robocop pop out at 1:23 on the Marvel parade float? WTF?
That was so horrible. (Shudder)
My sdon would LOVE this. It should come to the states next year I think I hersd.
Awesome. I’m buying tickets.
…..What?!
kennyg- What do you mean- “if” ?
I love how the back to the future theme is playing for the Marvel act. Awesome!
@SamIAm – yeah what’s up with them playing BTTF theme???? lol
As for the Batman Live show, I’d see it! Looks fun and hopefully less dangerous than the Spider-man broadway show lol
