Batman fans are going to get the chance to see a replica of the original Batmobile in the city.

St George’s Shopping Centre is playing host to the supercar and the caped crusader.

Update: This event has now been cancelled

The event during Saturday 10 August is part of the shopping centre’s free Preston XP events.

The batmobile on display will be the original car marking the 80th anniversary of the series.

They will celebrate all things comic books and pop culture.

St George’s manager Andrew Stringer said: “We have shoppers here who enjoy their pop culture collectables, books and films and like to visit stores such as HMV, GAME, BELONG, CEX, Hawkins Bazaar, Warhammer and The Entertainer.

“But this event really is for visitors of all ages, whether your batman is Michael Keaton or Ben Affleck! We hope shoppers will enjoy the once in a lifetime opportunity to see the Batmobile up close and look forward to a day of superhero fun.”

Batman is due to make appearances throughout the event from 10am to 4pm.
