Art Notes
Located just outside of Gotham City™, Wayne Manor is an epic part of the DC™ Universe as the residence of billionaire Bruce Wayne™ and his ward, Dick Grayson, and The Dark Knight’s hidden headquarters. A secret panel in the Wayne Family Estate leads to the state-of-the-art cave where Bruce and Dick’s super hero identities, Batman™ and Robin, carry out their mission to protect the citizens of Gotham City.
Thomas Kinkade Studios’ Wayne Manor captures the excitement of the moment when the Batmobile™ emerges from the secret entrance below Wayne Manor, responding to the Bat-Signal™. Which arch-nemesis is causing Commissioner Gordon to signal for the Dynamic Duo’s assistance? Can Batman and Robin expect to encounter The Joker™, or maybe Ra’s al Ghul?
Key Points
