Batman Live

My family had a wonderful experience at this show. The Joker really stood out from the other performers but they all did a great job!!!!!

We had a great time and my son absolutely loved it. It would've been pretty cool if the characters stayed around to do a meet and greet with children, but overall it was great!

After seeing 'Spiderman' on Broadway I didn't think it could get worse. I was wrong. I should have expected that 'Batman Live' was geared for 4 - 10 year old boys. That might have been okay if the production was decent. Not so. Cross a Jr. High play rehearsal with a low budget circus; throw in a cheap magic show and dancing numbers performed by Rockette rejects; shove them all in a Batman costume and you have 'Batman Live'. Parents, your kids will love it. But you will suffer for that love. The acting is wooden (was Batman a marionette?), the fight scenes goofy and uncoordinated, and the story.... there was no story. This was torture that I paid $80 to receive. I would rather watch Joel Schumacher's 'Batman and Robin' which, until today, was the lowest dregs of the Batman franchise. Congrats 'Batman Live'! You suck even more than that. Not to be unfair, there were a few bright spots that merit at least 2-stars. The video backdrop was superb. I loved the comic feel of the videos and how they seamlessly enhanced the stage. The Joker and Harley Quinn were excellent. But they were so good they made everyone else come across like a cardboard cut out. But then the real surprise. The final scene in Arkham Asylum is filled with chains (Floor to ceiling) filled with hanging bodies in burlap sacks. A genuinely terrifying turn. After Batman is gassed by a spooky 15-ft Scarecrow, Joker appears with a psychotic speech about how he is going to murder Batman. Then the real magic happened. Half of the kids in the auditorium burst into tears. Parents hid their eyes. Other tried to prevent there kids from jumping into their lap. "I DONT WANT BATMAN TO DIE!" was heard from every corner of the auditorium. It was hysterical. Who could have expected such a dark and delightful turn? What were the writers thinking? Milk and cookies then all of the sudden dark rum and cigarettes. In the meantime, as a comic book fan, I still hold out hope for a future superhero Broadway production that is decent.

I am so excited to see this show........ video looks cool and i know I'm going to have a great time :)))))

Cant wait to attend this awsome show, i've never seen this but it sounds like a great experience..........

This was a great stage show, reminiscent of the old stunt shows at amusement parks. The best way to describe it is a circus show of Batman. The combination of digital effects, choreography, lighting, and props was amazing. The way the scenes transitioned like a comic book was a great way to relate the material to its source.

The show was fantastic, wonderful acrobatics and great costuming. Comic book accurate with an additional twist. Only negative is they have Batman jumping around in a early scene with Catwoman as if he were Superman. But after that, pure gold. Worth watching.

The show was very well done, with a mix of old school comics and today's high technology. Story line was close to the comic book story line. I would recommend this show to anyone, for all ages.

Batman delivered on expectations. As an older batman fan I think the show was a mix of the 90's batman movies, and the animated series. I was a little disappointed the the show was only two acts, but it was still fulfilling. Kids will love this show. It is a great reason to dress up as your favorite batman hero or villain and have a good time. (of any age really) Story was not as deep and dark as I would have hoped. The giant bat screen on the stage was awesome, and made the story feel like you were watching it on the big screen. Recommended to all Batman fans.

I have been a fan of Batman since growing up. I am in my mid 20's and did not enjoy watching the live show. I recommend for kids only and not for the adult fans. Batman Live was directed for the kiddy audience. Costumes and performers were professional, but the show did not interest me one bit. I enjoy reading a comic issue more than attending the live show. The story line was weak. The Lion King musical was outstanding, but Batman Live was poor.

Really great show, it was a very entertaining night.

We were on our way to a much anticipated evening when being T-boned with in blocks of the event. Thankfully we went early, ended up walking in just at the music began. There was NOTHING in the entire program that let me down! There are no bad seats. There is something constantly going on from the acting, the acrobats, the music, special effect & stunts!! I found myself wanting to replay several scenes just to watch how amazing they were! Don't blink! You'll miss something!! It's a MUST SEE event!!

Worth every penny! Absolutely amazing!! All of the actors were perfectly cast.

This show was such a surprising awesome experience!!! As a mom of a 9 yr old I was expecting my son to enjoy the show, but was shocked at how much me and my husband enjoyed it!!! It was probably one of the coolest shows I've ever seen!!! Definitely a memorable experience.

The event was amazing. The costumes were great. Loved the acting and the background was interesting to look at. It was definatly worth every penny.

Very high hopes for an event with exciting thrills and stunts, came across flat and campy. The show would have been more enjoyable at 1/2 the ticket price. I guess we had to pay the rent since the venue could not sell seats well based on the empty seats.

The stage was one of a kind. The acrobatics were very impressive and the 100ft screen drew everything together. The costumes were some of the best I've seen in a live action show. Overall it was a great show.

I was very skeptical about taking my nephews to see this show for fear it may be a bit over thier heads but they had a blast. The performances and dialogue were funny enough to entertain the children and cunning enough for the adults as well. The acting and acrobatics were wonderful. The set up and circus scenes were the best; lots of color and fun!

We liked the lights, choreography, acting, story line, and the animation. It was fun to watch and it really held our attention. The event was pretty pricy, but otherwise fun and a good family outing.

It was an amazing show! The cast and stage were amazing! It was a wonderful show for the entire family! We went as a surprise to our 3 year old who is obsessed with Batman and we enjoyed it as much as he did! We will definitely go back!

Awesome production and great for the whole family! Costumes, stage/ background and acrobatics were breathtaking.

I loved every minute of it from beginning to end. The performance was amazing. The stage, lighting, and costumes were great. It was beyond my expectations. Would love to see more shows like Batman Live.

I went to the show not expecting much, but even before it got started, you can see everyone was there to have fun. Either watching the show or the people who dressed up as comic characters. The show itself was well done. Music, Lights and Stage were excellent. The plot was simple but included the whole story line. I recommend it if you have young kids you want to impress.

Great show!! My four year old cannot stop talking about how great the performances were. This was his first broadyway like performance and he loved it. This is a great introduction for kids and the arts. The visuals and storyboards were excellent. They actors were superb.

My kids, husband and I enjoyed this show! A must see

My kids and I loved the show! The story was great and the entertainers were spectacular! My boys are 4 and 6 and some of it was a little scary at times (my eldest was scared of the scarecrow!) but overall it was acceptable for the young ages.

Our grandchildren, ages 5,7 & 9, absolutely loved it. They wanted to see it again.

I took my grandson and his joy in his face when the show was on will be something I will never forget. The show was amazing and grand. My grandson has the best time ever.

I took my eleven year old son to see this. We had high hopes. We both left fairly disappointed. The acrobatics are nice, but nowhere near Cirque de Solei. The fight scenes are slow moving and it's clear that the punches miss by over a foot even in the nosebleed seats. Batman's costume seem so bulky and muscled up that I'm surprised he was even able to move. The Bat-mobile was the highlight for us. We thought that looked pretty cool and the we enjoyed the Scarecrow and the Joker. If you have children ages 9 and under, they will probably enjoy it. Anything older than that will probably not.

This show had everything. Acrobatics, gymnastics, magic tricks, hot air balloons, explosions, superb special effects and all of the villians. My 4 and 6 year old girls loved it and sat through the whole thing.

Absolutely amazing! Nothing like we were expecting. Wonderful actors, special effects and costumes. We would highly recommend going to this show!

Even though I did not purchase the best seat, the view was very good. I took my kids but adults can enjoy the show as well. It has got circus taste and also did not lose the comic part. You will enjoy the show!

This was a great show. The children and the adults enjoyed it.

Very animated, entertaining and a had a great story!

We all enjoyed it! Our daughters are 7 and 10, we all loved it! Mom and Dad too!

Definitely for key is under the age of 10 but older than 4

The show was very entertaining. My son, who is 14, absolutely loved it! He is still raving about it. Good family time.

The show was great overall. Good flying effects and the biggest video wall I've ever seen. The actors preformed well, although the script was a little cheesy.

Amazing show! Told a great Batman story that had a "Batman Forever" feel to it! Lot's of cool sets, costumes, fireworks! Nice lighting! Cool interactive Batman shaped screen, that complimented the show well! If you have the chance to experience it, don't miss out!

I thought the acting and the props were excellent! My 4yr old son loved it also and was on the edge of his seat for most of it...

My 3 1/2 year old loved it and I was entetained as well.

My boyfriend is a Batman fanatic, so I surprised him with tickets. We both loved the show. The costumes, screen, set and acrobatics were amazing. We especially loved the acting of the Joker and Harley Quinn. We would definitely watch it again and would recommend it to anyone who loves Batman.

It was BOOM, POW, ZAP, CRUNCH... totally bat-tastic!

Lots of fun for kids and adults. Explosions, acrobatics and possibly the coolest Batmobile ever!

It was better than I could ever expect. Read some reviews that about scared me off. It was awesome. We are going to see it again in Tulsa.

my five year old son was mezmerized during the entire show and it was fun watching the awe in his eyes as he watched each super hero and each"bad"character appear. im so glad we attended! well worth the time and money,.

I wasn't sure if this was going to be appropriate for my 9 year old son when I bought the tickets. It was advertised as 'family fun'. It was incredible, the background was an interactive screen that was a cartoon mimicking the old batman comics. Acrobatics gave this a Cirque du Soleil feel. Excellent acting too. There was no singing, which you usually hear at least a little bit in every live theatre event. I would go again in a heart beat. There are portions that make you feel like your in the middle of the scene they are portraying. We sat in floor seats, 4th row back. I would spend the extra money for these better seats, because so much of the show is directly above you, it was fun to look up and see cat woman sliding down a rope head first towards you. Very cool! My son thanked me profusely all evening long! As for the violence level, it was very low, fight scenes were very fake looking (on purpose) hitting each other at least a foot away from actually touching one another, much like the old comics. Boom! Pow!

The kids enjoyed the show. I, myself, wasn't crazy about it. The show itself was actually visually stimulating and entertaining. The arena was nice and new. However, the seats of the arena were literally only 1/3 full (or maybe less). The audience area did not go dark enough during the show, so this was extremely distracting to the show itself. Because it was so empty, people in the audience were talking and acting like they were sitting through a dress rehearsal. Imagine being at a concert where no one cheered for the band. It just brought the energy of the room down completely. Even the cheapest tickets still cost over $200 for a family of 4. If they had offered some $25 or $30 tickets, they probably would have filled the arena and made this a much more enjoyable experience for everyone. The actors were all talented and the props and set were cool. They used a large screen in the background to provide very cool and original graphics for the scenes. It really made you feel as if you were in a Batman comic book. The graphics and the villains were definitely the highlight of the show. It focused much more on Robin than Batman.

My wife and I took our 12 yr old son to see Batman Live on 9/29. My son has always been fascinated by Batman. The costumes, stage set and audio were great from start to end. Almost all the characters were there: Joker, Riddler, Harley Quinn, Catwoman, Poison Ivy, Penguin, etc... The costumes were vibrant and the story line was kept true to Batman as well. I would definitely recommend seeing this production whether you're 12 like my son or an adult. My wife and I enjoyed it as much as he did. We're both just "big kids" anyway. GO SEE BATMAN LIVE!!!!!!!!!! You won't regret it

Cirque meets classic Batman comics meets a play. An awesome show for comic book fans, geeky types, and the kids. Probably just so-so for all others. I've already told everyone I know they must see it, if they get the chance.

"Cirque du Soleil" meets Batman -- A fun event for families - especially with kids in the 6 - 10 years old range. Colorful, amusing - some good aerial acrobatics. Nothing to blow you away.... but entertaining.

Great family event! The city should have similar events for families to attend.

After seeing the touring "Walking With The Dinosaurs" I had high hopes for Batman Live. The show really felt like a throw back to the 70s TV show in the way it presented the story. I guess I was hoping it would be a more impressive presentation. If you have kids, it's very family friendly. Not too scary. Both Batman's and Robin's parents "die" in the story, as everyone knows, but it's handled in a relatively tame way. The screen they used for the background had some great graphics and added quite nicely to the story's illusion. The guy who played the Joker was great as well. I recommend you don't sit in seats on a level floor like we did. Makes viewing the show difficult.

This show was pretty good but not the best I viewed it at the staple center in Los Angeles it's a big arena with a very small stage it isn't made to be shown in a arena jokes were funny other villains had very little lines joker had the most at it was short I would recommend to see it but not pay the most cause its not worth the highest price available

Everything a batman fan (kid, or adult) could want in an onstage performance.

Batman Live was a great performance! Purchased tickets for my boyfriend's birthday and he enjoyed himself too. It was action packed and entertaining!

Awesome, awesome, and even more awesome. It was exactly what I waited almost 3 years to see, a live-action comic book. The whole production was amazing. Joker and Harley Quinn completely stole the show and knocked it outta the park. Well worth the price of admission.

set was amazing. actors were fabulous. great show. it was like a comic book movie was being filmed in the san jose arena.

Thought it would be a show strictly for kids but it's not. It's a great show for all ages. Fantastic how it incorporated so many known characters/villains into one show without overpowering or crowding the story. Also loved how the comic book feel was added. It had two adults talking about how much they enjoyed the show when leaving the venue. Highly recommend anyone who likes Batman or even action heroes, should see this show.

overall it was around 2 hours and the whole thing was fun, no matter what age or fan level. the back screen interacts with the stage and what's going on and the choreography was fantastic. I want to go again!

Took both my boys to Batman Live and they said it was "the best thing we've ever been to!" High praise indeed.

The special effects, action, and acrobatics made it really enjoyable to watch.

Great Show....went to the 11:00 show so not full house...may have been more exciting with more people there...but the sets were great!....the visual images were unbelievable!...the acting/dancing/acrobatics etc made the entire performance!...I loved it!...always a surprise, things exploding, flying, popping....always unpredictable!.....very kid friendly very helpful personnel....great mini donuts too....

Awesome show. I got front row seats and I was not disappointed. There is something for everyone in this play, There is pyrotechnics, acrobatics, a whole cast of villains for batman to defeat. In a word, awesome. The batmobile has been upgraded. This is very reminiscent of the old batman comic book series. They even play video in the background for a 3d immersive effect. You have to see it. And if you sit on the floor and on the sides, you will be pelted with confetti. I was in the front and didn't get covered.

It is amazing when you find out about an event & can plan to attend it on the opening night. The set pieces & costumes were incredible. The digital backdrop played an important role as it became every area of the Batman's area of operations. Only had one problem as the show neared the climax & there was a 'technical difficulty' which stopped the show for 10 minutes. I want to see this incredible show again.

Tasteful and entertaining. It was like Cirque de Soleil except with a Batman theme. The show was not as cheesy as one might think. Most people think it's a musical, but it's not. Go see this!

BATMAN LIVE = WORST SHOW EVER PRODUCED!! BORED OUT OF MY MIND! Not even a kid could really understand the plot! TERRIBLE

Awesome show, but sad to see there weren't more people at the event. Not sure how much promotion has been spent on promoting this show...but it looks like it wasn't enough. I heard other people talking about this subject around me... including that maybe the time of year was bad for more families to attend...?

Loved the play . So very good. I think any where u sat u could have seen the whole play . It's just the seats at the AA r so packed in there .

I thought the performance was great but definitely geared more toward ages 5 and up. There were a lot of small (under 4) children there and I don't think that it kept their interest. The smaller children would then be running through the aisles and caused distraction from the performance. It was a great show, but not for toddlers.

great show was like cirque du soleil had a baby with dc comics

horrible! worst thing i have ever seen. Kids even hated it. Sick that I spent the money.

Wasn't worth the money. It was hard to hear, not much talent, no singing. Was just expecting more for the $40 plus tickets. It was a Friday night and hardly anyone was there - no wonder.

Fight scences were terrible, too slow and too rehearsed. Story was clearly meant for per teens and younger.

Our whole family went to see Batman Live and it was a fantastic show. It has so many of the villians, my 4 year old was beyond excited. Definitely an exciting and fun show for any one.

Great performance! We loved the show and would recommend it to other families.

We really enjoyed Batman. The staging...Excellent! The actors....Excellent!. Every element of theater was included and it made for a spectacular show.

This was a great show. Im a big batman fan and to see all the characters come to life was amazing.

We took our boys, ages 6 & 4, and even dressed them up in their Batman costumes. The show was great for both the kids and adults. The story was kind of cheesy, but it is for kids, and my boys loved the show. There were several moments that made me laugh out loud and the action was good too. The bat mobile and bazooka were the best!

I was very disappointed in this show for what it cost. Wow. Maybe good for ages 5-7? Batman was actually in about 5 minutes of the two and a half hour show. Ugh. The stunts were mediocre. The set was pretty lame. The Batmobile was tiny. Just not pleased overall.

A very creative, action packed play with good special effects, costumes and story telling. My 9-year old nephew loved it, and so did we. The only negative is that I thought the tickets were expensive.

My boys absolutely loved it!! Was an amazing show. We would go back again. Was not very crowded for such an amazing show!!

Batman Live was simply AMAZING. I felt like I was inside a comic book! The kids enjoyed it. I and my sister enjoyed it! the acting was great ! The sound effect and technology was electrifying and AMAZING. THIS SHOW SHOULD HAVE BEEN SOLD OUT...I felt very please to have such a wonderful event come to Dallas. If this show is in your city..Please go and take your children!!!!!!! you will not be disappointed...

I loved the show! The actors were very well cast. Harley Quinn was PERFECT for the role as were the Joker and the Riddler. Stage effects were great and the script was actually very accurate. The noon show wasn't full which was good but I wish it were more packed like the night shows. The crowd really makes a difference. All in all, a must see!

Excellent, We loved it. The seats were great and so was the show.

It was awesome! The special effects were amazing!!

All in all, this was an excellent stage production of the Batman story. Don't expect something that compares to a Hi Def movie. Take it for what it is and you and your kids will be amazed. We went with a large group and had a great time.

Great... I would recommend this to all my friends children, so many people without children there\u2026

I took my boyfriend to the show as a surprise and we both loved it!

This show is a family friendly night out with a couple of "wow" moments. We went as a date night, but I would recommend more as a family night.

I will have to say we were completely disappointed by this show. Way over priced. My husband fell asleep during the show. And my children were not impressed. I feel that there was not enough advertising about the show. Sad for the performers that there was not a full house.

Took my grandson to see this performance. He was blown away by the a acrobats, set and action.

I was shocked at how few people were in the arena. I would say less than 7000. The show started off pretty slow, but picked up significantly after the intermission. The bat-mobile left something to be desired. When it was driving through the city it reminded me of how i played with my hotwheels when i was 5. The final battle was unfulfilling as all of the criminals who "teamed up" weren't there to fight! The led screen was pretty awesome, but that was about it. The acting was not very good and at one point Bruce Wayne straight up tells Dick Grayson that he's batman and that was kind of a shocker. I can see why this would be really exciting in the UK because they don't really know what's supposed to go on with Batman. Here in America, we expect better.

Excellent show! The actor was great and the picture back drop really made the show.

I was impressed brought my two kids and they loved it an asked when they were coming back. The show was great and great performances. Was a amazing show for sure!!!

I was surprised at how kids and adults were entertained. The show was not too dark for kids, but definitely interesting and funny to adults as well!

It was cheap circus act . special effect were fun. I was truly not impress

It was a great show. Very good special effects.I enjoyed the show and would recommend it. The kids loved it also.

My husband and I were so excited to take our four year old son to this event. We all had a blast. I would love to take him to see other shows like it!

I took my son and daughter. They both enjoyed it so much. As did I. I went not expecting much. Boy was I wrong. The stage, back drop, costumes, and acrobatics were amazing! Something for everyone at every age.
