Close on the heels of the Alien pieces we now have Batman and Superman here at the museum. To be more specific we have Christian Bale's Bat Suit from Batman Begins, and Brandon Routh's Superman suit from Superman Returns.

We are starting to put all the pieces we have in the museum online so people can see them.
With so many pieces in our collection this can take some time, but the first pieces are already up for you to have a look at.
