Holy cinematics, Batman! A free movie!

Take a break from your studies this Friday afternoon, April 25th, to contemplate the place of superheroes in our culture.

FIRST, at 1 pm, enjoy a talk by Parkland's own Rebecca Busker:
Batman Reveals! Our Myths, Our History

Explore how superheroes reflect the values of their times.

THEN, at 2 pm, take in a free showing of "Batman Begins" starring Christian Bale, Michael Caine, Liam Neeson, and Katie Holmes.

BOTH EVENTS ARE FREE!

Join us in the friendly darkness of the Staerkel Planetarium.
