To celebrate 85 years of Batman, an Oxford cinema is set to show some of the comic book hero's most popular films.

From August 30, Vue Oxford will screen some of the superhero's most loved eras, from Val Kilmer and George Clooney to Christian Bale and Robert Pattinson.

Kicking off the celebrations, the cinema will bring two animated classics back to the big screen.

Batman: Mask of the Phantasm sees Batman wrongly implicated in a series of mob boss murders, while in The Lego Batman Movie Bruce Wayne must deal with the usual suspects as they plan to rule Gotham City, while discovering he has accidentally adopted a teenage orphan.

Viewers can also enjoy Batman Forever, where Batman confronts Two-Face and the Riddler, and Bruce Wayne will also star in Batman & Robin.

The Dark Knight Trilogy, featuring films Batman Begins, The Dark Knight and The Dark Knight Rises, is on the schedule too and the cinema will also screen the latest film, The Batman.

Toby Bradon general manager of Vue UK and Ireland, said: "With a rich history spanning an impressive 85 years it’s no wonder that we’ve seen so many incarnations of DC’s most famous character.

"Whether you’ve seen them a dozen times or not at all, nothing compares to seeing these films the way they were meant to be shown - on the big screen."
