Fathom
Events, Warner Bros. and DC Entertainment Spotlight
Adam
West, Burt Ward and Julie Newmar Voicing Classic Roles
DENVER
– September 12, 2016 – Travel back to the 1960s as Batman and
Robin spring into action when Gotham City is threatened by a quartet
of Batman’s most fiendish foes. Audiences will have the opportunity
to join all the animated excitement as it unfolds on the big screen
for one special day. Fathom Events is once again partnering with
Warner Bros. and DC Entertainment to bring
“Batman:
Return of the Caped Crusaders”
to movie theaters for three exclusive showings on Monday, October 10
at 2:00 p.m., 7:30 p.m. and 10:00 p.m. local time, before it comes to
Digital HD on October 11 and Blu-ray™ Combo Pack & DVD on
November 1.
Bringing
these iconic characters to animated life are Adam
West
(Batman), Burt
Ward
(Robin) and Julie
Newmar (Catwoman).
In the new film, Penguin, The Joker, Riddler and Catwoman have
combined their wicked talents to hatch a plot so nefarious that the
Dynamic Duo will need to go to outer space (and back) to foil their
arch enemies and restore order in Gotham City.
In
addition to the film, audiences will view an exclusive pre-screening
introduction, and a post-screening preview of “Those Dastardly
Desperados,” a featurette that explores how the villains became
more than just antagonists in a Batman story – they became icons of
American pop culture.
Tickets
for “Batman:
Return of the Caped Crusaders” can
be purchased beginning Friday, September 9, online by
visiting www.FathomEvents.com
or at participating theater box offices. Fans throughout the U.S.
will be able to enjoy the event in more than 700 select movie
theaters. For a complete list of theater locations visit the Fathom
Events website (theaters
