Batman Live stage show takes wing

A Batman stage show soon might be swooping to a town near you. Warner Bros. and DC Comics are in the early stages of developing a Caped Crusader tour, tentatively titled Batman Live. The show is neither a musical nor a Broadway-bound theatrical production but rather an elaborate arena production aimed at kids and families. Alan Burnett and Stan Berkowitz, longtime animation veterans whose credits include Batman and Superman television shows as well as such animated movies as Batman: Mask of the Phantasm and Justice League: The New Frontier, are writing the story and script. The logline is being kept under wraps, but it is known that the show will feature numerous villains. No timeline for the show is set.
