The 'Other' Superhero Show, Batman Live, Releases First Set Design Photos

Staying in comic books a bit longer after that last post, while everyone has been talking about the ongoing potential-disaster that is the Spiderman musical, another of his disguised superhero counterparts has been gearing up for a big production at the same time. Batman Live kicks off this summer starting in England and Ireland, then heading to Europe for the fall and closing out in the States in the summer of 2012. A mix of “acrobatics, pyrotechnics, stuntmen, supervillains and screeching Batmobiles on a 100ft-wide, 60ft-deep performance area” it’s much more of a traveling carnival than a high-concept, Julie Taymor production.
