Get up close to the Caped Crusader
Batman is celebrating its 85th anniversary this year and DC and Warner Bros aren’t letting a big milestone like that pass by quietly. After a stop in Manchester this summer, Batman Unmasked, an exhibition featuring an epic collection of Batman memorabilia, is coming to London.
Running from September through to November in Covent Garden – so yes it’ll be in situ for Batman Day on 21st September – the exhibition will take you on a journey through Batman’s film history, with original props and costumes from Batman (1989), Batman Forever (1995), Batman & Robin (1997), Batman Begins (2005), The Dark Knight (2008), The Dark Knight Rises (2012), Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice (2016), Justice League (2017), Joker (2019) and The Batman (2022). You’ll be able to see Batsuits worn by Michael Keaton, Christian Bale and Robert Pattinson and check out the Tumbler and Batpod from The Dark Knight and the Batmobile and Batcycle from The Batman.
But it’s not just about the Caped Crusader at Batman Unmasked. Gotham City’s more nefarious residents also get a look in at The Rogues Gallery, with Uma Thurman’s Poison Ivy ensemble, Margot Robbie’s Harley Quinn costume, Jim Carrey’s Riddler outfit, Arnold Schwarzenegger’s Mr. Freeze suit, Heath Ledger’s Joker’s nurse uniform, and the red suit worn by Joaquin Phoenix in Joker, which you can see ahead of Joker: Folie à Deux hitting the big screen.
Until Sun 5th January 2025
