Batman Live!

 

 

Batman Live: An action packed adventure with stunts, illusions, 

martial arts, and trapeze artists.

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.

Batman Live is part cirque du soleil, part Broadway musical (without the singing & dancing). With massive stage changes, great special effects and even a decent story-line, the show is a lot of fun. Its world tour features DC Comic characters: Batman, Robin, Catwoman, the Joker, Harley Quinn, Two Face, the Riddler, Poison Ivy, the Penguin, and even Commissioner Gordon. Dressing up as Batman to see the show is optional.

Superheros Take Over the Neighborhood

Alex, Superman, Batman, Spiderman and Ironman are ready for action! Or...maybe ready for bed.

Long before the age of four, boys are boys and girls are girls. They've split into their own play groups and the competition begins for who is "the best." Once little boys discover superheros, they've got all the proof they need that they are more powerful. (Somehow despite the fact that we live in the 21st century, that sentiment continues to permeate male-female power dynamics in every dimension of our world for the rest of our lives). Wonder Woman & Catwoman just can't compete with Batman, Superman, Spiderman and the Green Lantern as defenders of the universe.

By the 5th birthday every boy's party requires a superhero flying in from the sky to create joy, glee and screams for dozens of kids. (Every girl's birthday demands a princess.) At Dylan's party, kids were told to dress up as their favorite Superhero. Spiderman swung in on his web for Alex's 5th birthday and we ran into Batman, along with his enemy the Joker, at his friend Cole's big party. It's amazing how those Superheros get around town saving us all from disaster. Now if they could just do something to improve gender balance in this world.
