Dig out your cowl and cape, you’ll soon be able to explore the dark and mysterious world of the Caped Crusader himself at Batman Unmasked. No need to head to the crime-ridden streets of Gotham City, the unmissable exhibition will land in Covent Garden on September 6 this year. There, fans will be treated to a never-before-seen collection of original props, costumes, weapons and more from the Batman films spanning 1989 to 2022. Not only that, but you’ll be able to get your hands on exclusive merchandise, capture some memories at the array of photo ops and enjoy the free-flow comic and gaming area.
What can you expect at Batman Unmasked?
From the comic books to Christian Bale, Batman has lived many lives and this fascinating exhibition celebrates all the things that make Bruce Wayne’s formidable alter ego so iconic. At Batman Unmasked you’ll get to explore a series of themed rooms – including the Batcave, Arkham Maze, Joker’s Room and the Wayne Library – and capture cinematic moments at the irresistible photo ops you’ll find throughout.
One moment you’ll feel a heroic swell in your chest as you feast your eyes on the Batsuits worn by the likes of Michael Keaton, Robert Pattinson and Christian Bale. The next, you’ll venture into the toxic underbelly of Gotham’s super-villains, taking in everything from Heath Ledger’s infamous nurse’s uniform to Uma Thurman’s vine-twisted Poison Ivy ensemble. For the first time in the UK, there’s even Arnold Schwarzenegger’s Mr. Freeze suit – it’s snow joke, I promise.
When you’re done admiring the treasure trove of props, costumes and more that once graced the screen, you can grab a controller to put yourself in Batman’s crime-fighting boots in the gaming area. Prefer to give your button-bashing thumbs a rest? The comic book area is the perfect place to sit back, relax and read some classic editions of Batman’s adventures. Plus, as if all that isn’t enough, you can take your Batman collection to the next level with the brilliant range of exclusive merchandise and special 85th-anniversary items.
