Pandora's Box and Euro Media Forum are celebrating 75 years of Batman on Friday 19th December at 5.30 p.m. at St James Cavalier, Cinema, Valletta.
It was a time primed for super heroes and one city needed a fearless guardian. Born out of the rich and dark atmosphere of pulp fiction, Bob Kane and Bill Finger's Batman swung onto the comic book pages in 1939 and has since enthralled generations of comic fans, while confronting a barrage of villains, mentoring a series of sidekicks, and saving Gotham City time and time again.
Hosted by The Joker and Harley Quinn, two of Batman's most celebrated villains, they will unlock little known nuggets about the Caped Crusader's origins, exploits and how the Dark knight's legacy has become immortalised in TV and film.
This will be followed by a Batman quiz where members of the audience will have the opportunity to win prizes. So quiz participants must keep their eyes open on the Dark knight's clues! After the talk, there will be a screening of Legends of the Knight. Legends of the Knight is a documentary film that tells the true stories of individuals who are inspired to become real-life heroes because of their childhood love of Batman. Members of the audience will also be treated with a Batman memorabilia exhibition at the cinema. The Batman event is being done in collaboration with Pandora's Box, Graphic Novels Library Malta, Sci- Fi Con 2015 (Malta Comic Expo), Giotto restaurant. For bookings call on 21223200 or visit www.sjcav.org This event will be at an entrance fee of 5 Euro with 3 Euro concessions for students.
