A HUGE thanks for the VIP invite! An absolute pleasure to be there and meeting all the celeb nerds!

[@philnewton-england7795]

Looks like a slight improvement from the Willy Wonka Experience in Glasgow. 🤣🤣

[@LiftHillsandThrills]

Right? 😂

[@opuanwar5775]

There is an option for digital copies of the all the photos you took on the tour if you scan the QR code on your phone. It costs £17.50 for all of them.

[@LiftHillsandThrills]

On that particular night we weren't given that option but it's great that they do this and that's not a bad price considering how many photo ops they had! Split it between a group of you and that's a bargain

[@opuanwar5775]

@@LiftHillsandThrills I didn't know about it either til I was about to get rid of the photo tickets a few days later and out of interest, saw what would happen if I scanned the QR code. There may not be a time limit on it so if anyone still has their tickets, it's worth giving it a go....

[@Foxeral]

How do you always get invited to these events? Like there’s this and from memory the saw x one. You’re making it up the leagues for sure

[@LiftHillsandThrills]

This was for my movie site and I covered it on Lift Hills!

[@thehman2271]

The thing about Manchester is we like to hide our best attractions in very unassuming warehouses 😅

[@LiftHillsandThrills]

You’ve got another one now with the Jurassic World pop up!

[@keiranninjaspirit]

Yes like the arcade club😂🎉

[@THX1178]

Great video. Thanks for the look inside, really helpful and informative 👍

[@LiftHillsandThrills]

My pleasure

[@badmoonrising7795]

I don’t believe it, I am a security supervisor for depot mayfield and I was probably watching you on the cameras and didn’t realize. Gutted, I would have came said and said hello 😂

[@badmoonrising7795]

And on a side note this is the building of the wharehouse project so technically it’s a legal rave. 10 thousand plus 😮 give us a shout if you ever need tickets 👀

[@LiftHillsandThrills]

Haha no way?! 😂🤣 you should have done!

[@LiftHillsandThrills]

Is it really?! 😂 I knew it had rave vibes!

[@thestarkknightreturns]

The London exhibition will have Battinson's Batmobile instead of the Tumbler. But I hope it has the same Batsuits because I love Battinson's and Keaton's Flash Batsuit and they are both in exhibition

[@LiftHillsandThrills]

They have one of The Batman vehicles outside the WB hotel in Abu Dhabi, love the car!

[@anthonyshipman3611]

Thank you for the video, I have been looking forward to this coming to london but seeing your video i am not blown away, there was an exhibition at the 02 London few years back which was brilliant and a lot of the exhibits you show were at that one plus loads of original artwork. I would walk straight past all the photo op stuff, so now i dont know if i will bother! All the best Anthony.

[@LiftHillsandThrills]

I throughly enjoyed it but I remember a DC Dawn of Superheroes exhibition that had a lot more stuff in terms of art etc I think that’s the one you’re talking about and you’re right that was bigger but it was the entirety of DC and not just Batman specially which makes sense with the size difference. Thanks for checking out the video all the same!

[@yourexperienceguide]

Yep, this looks fantastic. Can't wait to go tomorrow...

[@LiftHillsandThrills]

Enjoy dude!

[@Jennifer-cz2if]

It looks good but I think it could have been better, I was thinking of travelling down from Newcastle for it, I think I would have been a tad disappointed travelling over 6 hours in total just for this. I was expecting a lot more, there seemed to be a lot of empty space in between exhibitions with not much going on, almost as if they didn’t have enough props to fill it with and make a proper display so just decided to have “themed rooms” instead for the joker, riddler and poison ivy where not much happened. It does look cool and would be good for any Batman fan but it’s not worth travelling for in my opinion, if you happen to live locally or be in the area then it’ll be worth a visit but not worth travelling a long way for.

[@LiftHillsandThrills]

The hospital room was a wasted opportunity but there’s enough to do but no I agree, 6 hours and you’d be a little disappointed. It does say on their website you’ll be done in around 45 mins we were there just over an hour

[@simonwillder]

glad you enjoyed it , I have just come back home from visiting it this morning . Hopefully lots of people will see it , however there was less people there than when you visited . on the plusside even better photo ops , and there are plaques next to the costumes . enjoyed it .

[@LiftHillsandThrills]

There were a lot of staff when we went with drinks etc and good to know the plaques are there now as they weren’t only in the Joker room everywhere else there was

[@eamer9400]

I went the other day and it was cool to see everything it could deffo be so much better maybe with some cosplayers or actors to play various batman characters and also to just have a barrier around the costumes coz the reflections on the glass are horrible for photos but I do understand why the glass is there. I think it really suffered from having the hospital and ivy rooms in the middle like just put the joker and Ivy props and costumes in those bits rather than in one big room after the hospital and ivy rooms.

[@LiftHillsandThrills]

Glass cabinets are part of the insurance but they’re certainly not camera friendly unless you press your camera up against the glass!

[@DG95Official]

The 1989 costume must be a fortune. The Dark Knight will always be good

[@LiftHillsandThrills]

Man... some of the prices other production used costumes went for are eye-watering... there was EASILY £5-10M minimum worth of props here...

[@guido456]

It is the One from the Flash Movie - Not the 1989 one

[@MH_ZeR0]

Love the fact they had the Lego cowel!! Also happy to see that the 85th anniversay t-shirt and hoodie weren't stupidly over priced! £25 and £40 respectivly is what it should always be! (Merlin... take note). Strange they held this in Manchester though... Liverpool would have made more sense considering some of the last movie was filmed there!

[@LiftHillsandThrills]

It’s crazy isn’t it that a pop up event like this (and even Disney / Universal) sold cheaper merch than any Merlin park

[@loonytunescrazy]

[@LiftHillsandThrills]

[@finnmeister]

That's not the original Keaton costume, chaps. It's the updated version he wore in "The Flash"...

[@LiftHillsandThrills]

I was just reading what it said on the plaque next to it haha I haven't seen The Flash so makes perfect sense if it was aha

[@thestarkknightreturns]

Even better. It's a massive improvement over the first one which had a terrible chest symbol and looked rubbery and thick...

[@Coaster_Crazy]

That looks awesome !! I need to try and get here

[@LiftHillsandThrills]

Yes you do!

[@Coaster_Crazy]

@@LiftHillsandThrills if that’s all they have on display I take it the rest of the stuff is in the hands of private collectors or in storage somewhere !? The lighting at the place looks great

[@LiftHillsandThrills]

@@Coaster_Crazy The Warner Bros archive is massive, I know a lot of stuff recently was lost in a fire in Brazil but they used to have everything out on display it took up multiple floors at a WB tour museum on the studio tour, not sure if it’s still there or not!

[@Sangookooya]

I was there today. I love everything on display. But I couldn't get my photos despite paying 21.50 for the photos

[@LiftHillsandThrills]

Why not? I’m glad you had a good time other than that!

[@Sangookooya]

I'm looking for way to get the digital version

[@MrTonycoughlan]

I had a look at it. I thought it was slightly overpriced for an exhibition. Fair play you enjoyed it.

[@LiftHillsandThrills]

Being a city centre location etc I didn’t think it was badly priced, you’re in there for around the same length of time as an escape room which is similarly priced but there are naturally cheaper attractions in the city. I imagine the inflated price is no doubt because of the millions of dollars the items are worth, their insurance / security and naturally the building it’s in is hugeeee but yes, I enjoyed it and even paid to go back and check it out after this video

[@MrTonycoughlan]

@@LiftHillsandThrillsI’m not a fan of escape rooms 😂I did go to the Harry Potter studio Tour that was decent but again you could possibly call that a set exhibition. But I suppose because of where it’s based (Hertfordshire) the price of Harry Potter I think was £23 which I was happy to pay as it was the actual set of where it was filmed and the location near London. I think for where the Batman location was I would say a fair price would have been between £15 - £18. But some of it does look very cool being a bat fan myself.

[@Judventures]

You could get digital copies of the photos but only after you’d purchased a physical copy. £8.50 I believe. Cracking exhibit, now I have a list of 50 movies I need them to do the same thing for and I’ll be happy 👏🏻

[@LiftHillsandThrills]

Ah that's a bit shitty... and yeah man, I'd love them do a horror one!

[@Sangookooya]

How can one get the digital photos

[@keiranninjaspirit]

[@neilrwilliams218]

Some memories there, guess the lack of Adam West's Batman is a rights issue for Warner's rather than a DC issue.

[@LiftHillsandThrills]

I'd assume so!

[@yourexperienceguide]

5:49 wasn't a fan of this Bat suit, but it'd probably be the standout in the new DCU based on what we've seen so far

[@LiftHillsandThrills]

It’s really basic… kind of strips down everything that made Batman great, the movie wasn’t terrible by any means but it just lacked for me in many areas, it had a big shadow to step out of

[@yourexperienceguide]

@@LiftHillsandThrills Final third of the film was a massive anti climax, and the suit is naff

[@Jennifer-cz2if]

@@LiftHillsandThrillsbut you’re forgetting that this latest Batman film was an origin story so it makes sense that his suit wasn’t as high tech as say for example the Christian Bale suit where he was well established as the Batman. In Robert Pattinson’s Batman he’s just starting out and I think people seem to forget that.

[@LiftHillsandThrills]

@@Jennifer-cz2if It's an excuse to cut costs for sure!

[@LeetheLank]

Did this yesterday and only because of this, live in Manchester but even then first I’d heard of this. Bit overpriced imo but so unique I can see why it’s set as it is on pricing. Big shoutout to the staff who were all so accommodating too 👏

[@LiftHillsandThrills]

Pricing on certain days is certainly a little steep but what you're getting Is a 60-minute experience in a big city... it's tough to really gauge but it's certainly cheaper than the funfair just down the road, I remember spending £40 on just a handful of rides there last xmas!

[@LeetheLank]

@@LiftHillsandThrillsyeah even so I definitely don’t regret booking it, the tumbler alone was insane and staff were so accommodating too. If the photos as digital download were available as part of the pricing I think it would be perfect

[@glenjimen1234]

The o2 exhibition seemed to have alot more including all of the joker masks, alot more costumes had the bat pod too but no tumbler. Think that seemed better than this overall

[@LiftHillsandThrills]

I disagree, it was 90% artwork with very little in the way of costume pieces. I did enjoy it but I certainly enjoyed the props / costumes on display here more. I feel as though the O2 exhibition had more variety in the costumes as it was a superhero themed one (not just Batman movies specifically) but the items here were definitely better for me. I'd say both are worth a visit though for sure

@@LiftHillsandThrills Nah, love it. It's over hated because Warner Bros cut out 30 minutes of important story telling moments from the cinema cut. It's not perfect but it's still very good.

[@Kaitschi]

Great Stuff, but a lack of Batmobiles

[@LiftHillsandThrills]

I'm not entirely sure if it's still there but on the studio tour in Hollywood they have a whole garage open to explore packed full of Warner Bros archive cars... I remember a solid 10 Batmobiles!

[@ColonelSternlove]

I went to see this and was hugely disappointed. Too much padding and areas that were nothing more than walk through’s. Essentially it had a Batman room, villain room and the tumbler for £25. Took 40min - Harry Potter tour took 2.3-3 hours.

[@LiftHillsandThrills]

Harry Potter tour is a permenant attraction all year round and is considerably bigger and more expensive, this is a cheaper pop up with millions of pounds worth of displays for less than £30. I do agree the Joker hospital room bit though… that sucked

[@ColonelSternlove]

@@LiftHillsandThrills pop up or not - that’s the level. One Batmobile… I’m a Batman movie nut, but this didn’t satisfy me in any way. An example being I’ve witnessed the Epcot firework display, anything after that isn’t worth the money. It’s was obviously cool to see the movie props, but it didn’t even present them well.

[@kry102001]

It was okay, not fantastic, my two criticisms are, it really needed live actors, cosplayers would have been a huge improvement, the white room was a huge let down, expected something interesting to happen, but, meh, nothing, also, why put the majority of displays in glass cases, for a photographer it’s a nightmare, reflections everywhere, would have looked tons better behind a barrier without the glass, bit overpriced too.

[@LiftHillsandThrills]

White room was BAD

[@kry102001]

@@LiftHillsandThrills indeed, was expecting a blue UV light to expose a hidden message on the playing cards, or even better, if The Joker appeared, I would have been extremely impressed, I understand that it was priced high because of the props being screen used, but, if they removed the white room, the ivy room, the riddler room and that last room with mirrors, put the exhibits behind barriers with plenty of space between the barrier and the items on display so photographers could get a really good picture.
