DC Exhibition: Dawn of the Superheroes, is a celebration of DC's comic works, which has given the world icons such as Superman, Batman, Wonder Woman and the Joker.
From 23 February at The O2 the exhibition will feature over 200 original comic pages, around 300 preparatory sketches and concept art from the films and over 40 original costumes, models and props used in the iconic films.
The exhibition will run in chronological order and each room will provide people with a behind the scenes look at the creation of the legendary DC Universe.
‘DC Exhibition: Dawn of Super Heroes’ features:
- Exclusive artworks from the recent Wonder Woman film.
- Costumes and props from more recent films such as; 1989 to 1999’s Batman franchise directed by Tim Burton and Joel Schumacher, the acclaimed The Dark Knight trilogy directed by Christopher Nolan, as well as The Man of Steel, Batman V Superman and the recent Justice League by Joss Whedon.
-Original drawings of DC's Super Heroes and Super Villains.
-Original costumes from blockbuster DC films including the famous cape worn by Christopher Reeve in the Superman movies and Lynda Carter’s iconic Wonder Woman costume from the 1970s show.
If they have the Batman costume from the Schumacher films which have the Bat nipples I'm sold! But in all seriousness this does sound pretty good and I'm hoping to go soon. As usual I'll report and review if it's worth going to.

Modern Day Icons in the Flemish Style
Sacha Goldberger is a photographer and artist who has taken inspiration from the great Flemish artists of the 16th and 17th century to portray modern day icons as they might have been presented in those ages. It's a beguiling and arresting look achieved through the use of incredible constumes, lighting and models who look similar to the characters they portray.
I've shared one picture below but I would definitely recommend his website where he uses the Flemish art style to portray Marvel and DC Superheroes too!
