The New Faces of Batman
As we were showing Em around Wollaton Hall for the first time, we told her about the place’s connection with batman; already hinted by the batman logos scattered across the park. Wollaton Hall was in fact used as the setting for Wayne Manor in The Dark Knight Rises film in 2011. The hall itself is in reality only five miles from the village of Gotham, where Batman’s Gotham City takes its name from.
Needless to say, the hall likes to remind visitors of its famous role in this popular film and inside the hall, as well as many Batman-related merch that you can buy, to Em and Reen’s delight there was also a dress up box with batman-esque capes and a cardboard cutout of the hero himself. Of course, as mature adults we smiled at the box and moved on, learning about the unique and interesting history of Wollaton Hall.
Well, we did do that eventually… But only after Em and Reen had bounded up to the dressing up box and cloaked themselves in the batcapes!
Hurrah for immaturity!
