To celebrate the Caped Crusader’s 80th birthday, DC is bringing Southeast Asia’s first ever Batman anniversary event to Resorts World Genting which will take place from today onwards until 10th July 2019 at Resorts World Genting’s SkyAvenue mall.
Fans of the Dark Knight can expect an array of Batman-themed activities and exhibitions spreading throughout the mall including meet-and-greet sessions, live shows, and also photo opportunities with the life-size statue of Batman and Batmobile! (How cool is that?)
“As Asia’s leading integrated resort, we are proud to host this internationally recognised franchise from DC Comics whilst simultaneously celebrating the character which has played a prominent role in mainstream culture.”
“I am confident that families visiting will have a fantastic time as they interact with the numerous activities and exhibitions spread throughout the mall,” says Kevin Tann, Vice President of Entertainment & Events, Resorts World Genting.
