Science is Culture & Euro Media Forum are celebrating Bob Kane's comic book creation with a special event at the Eden cinemas on Tuesday 24th July 2012, prior to the midnight premiere of the Dark Knight Rises.

There will be several stands related to Batman's place in popular culture and a short presentation preceding the film will explore how the caped crusader's stories have both empowerment messages and an element of scientific truth.

Members of the audience do not need to dress up but DC Superhero costumes are highly encouraged.
