“Everyone at Warner Bros. Television approaches Comic-Con as a fan-first
experience. It’s in our DNA, with everything we do — from panels to
signings to our bags, posters and more — carefully curated with our fans
in mind,” said Lisa Gregorian, Chief Marketing Officer, Warner Bros.
Television Group. “With the Extra at Comic-Con space, we have created a
free and fun outdoor entertainment destination for fans. In addition to
having all the Batmobiles on display and game demos, we will be hosting
interviews throughout the day on the Extra stage, as well as evening and
night events such as screenings and live comedy and musical
performances after the convention floor closes for the day. It’s
additive to the experience of being at the Con.”

THE EXTRA STAGE

fans to go beyond the Con.
Stars from The Big Bang Theory, Fringe, The Vampire Diaries and more
will appear live on the Extra stage to tape interviews with Extra’s
on-camera hosts
Warner Bros. will also distribute the studio’s Comic-Con special edition
of TV Guide Magazine — with four sets of collectible flip covers

ALL SIX BATMOBILES!
On display in “The Batcave”: all six Batmobiles from television and
film! For the first time ever, Comic-Con fans will have the opportunity
to see all of Batman’s iconic onscreen vehicles live and in person, from
Adam West’s 1955 Lincoln Futura to the Tumbler from The Dark Knight
trilogy.
Adam West’s 1955 Lincoln Futura. Designed by George Barris, this
original Batmobile was featured in the cult classic television series
and 1966’s Batman, the Movie.
Michael Keaton’s Batmobile from 1989’s Batman and 1992’s Batman Returns.
Sleek and powerful with a central turbine, the vehicles’ slightly retro
design followed Tim Burton’s art deco look of the films.
Revamped for Joel Schumacher’s 1995 Batman Forever, with bat-lighting
and extended fins, Val Kilmer’s hot rod had the ability to drive up
walls.
Schumacher updated the Batmobile once again for George Clooney in 1997’s
Batman & Robin. At 33 feet long and a top speed of 350 mph with
afterburner thrust, this was the largest and fastest Batmobile on the
road.
The Tumbler designed for Christopher Nolan’s 2005 Batman Begins and
2008’s The Dark Knight is the prototype military vehicle designed by the
character Lucius Fox (Morgan Freeman).
The unveiling of the replacement Camouflage Tumbler, to be seen in 2012’s The Dark Knight Rises, in theaters and IMAX July 20.
