BATMAN has appeared at a local shopping centre for a special event.

The Dark Knight appeared at Friars Square Shopping Centre in Aylesbury this morning, alongside the iconic 1989 version of the Batmobile.

His appearance, along with Wonder Woman and Batgirl, was part of a Superheroes Day at the centre.

The event is timely, as Matt Reeves’ new film The Batman starring Robert Pattinson as Bruce Wayne and the Dark Knight launches next month.

The classic Batmobile from the 80s film starring Michael Keaton, Jack Nicholson and Kim Basinger is on display at Market Square throughout the day.

The fully working, roadworthy replica comes with crime fighting gadgets including a flame thrower at the rear and hydraulic suspension.

One local said people were also dressed up as the Dark Knight to greet Batman and take pictures with him and the Batmobile.
