- **Event Name**: I'm Batman - An Evening With Carl Newman
- **Event Start and End Date**: Fri, 30 Jan, 2026 at 07:00 pm – Fri, 30 Jan, 2026 at 09:00 pm
- **Event Description**: Carl Newman was the Dark Knight in many of the iconic scenes in Batman 1989.

Join us for an evening with him in Moyse’s Hall’s gothic Undercroft, discussing his extensive career on stage and screen.

Newman, a professionally trained dancer, was a ‘movement double’ for Michael Keaton, working with Tim Burton to artistically interpret the movie-defining set pieces of Batman zip wiring, jumping from ledges at foes, vaulting into the Batmobile alongside Kim Basinger, or sculpting the caped crusader’s form against the Gotham skyline.

“It was Jack Nicholson who coined the phrase ‘Bat Ballet’ for the work I was doing, and the nickname ‘Ballet Bat’ for me. So, of course, the name stuck!” – Carl Newman

Director Tim Burton’s visionary take on Batman would redefine how he would appear on screen thereafter. Newman brought the grace and athleticism required to create the movement and poise to transfer Burton’s artist ideas onscreen.

In his career as a dancer, Newman has worked with world class choreographers Dame Arlene Phillips DBE, David Toguri, Charles Augins, Anthony Van Last, Bruno Tonioli, Micha Bergese, and Jack Gunn. As well as working with the artistic talents of The Chemical Brothers, Tori Amos, Joan Armatrading, Godley &amp; Creme, Julie Walters, and the Pet Shop Boys.

This evening is inspired by the screen used Batman Cowl of Michael Keaton being on display at Moyse’s Hall until 22nd February 2026, alongside props and costumes from Star Wars, Star Trek, James Bond, The Crown, and many more, kindly lent to the museum by Kudos Memorabilia.
