Naugatuck's Batman Celebration Changes Due to Parent Concerns

It appears the Dark Knight was a little too dark for some Naugatuck parents as the  Whittemore Library's plans to celebrate Super Hero week have been changed for Saturday.

Plans to show the popular "Dark Knight" have been scrapped along with Tim Burton's 1989 Batman. Originally, children under 13 would have had to be accompanied by a parent or guardians for Batman and the Dark Knight. 

But those plans have been changed, according to library officials, who said parents wanted a "more family friendly Bat-feature."

Here is the new revised press release for Saturday's events at the library.  

Attention Patrons and Bat-Fans!

By popular demand we have (slightly) changed the events for Batman's 75th Birthday Party. Many patrons have requested a more family friendly Bat-feature, so the schedule of events for Saturday, July 26th will now be...

4:00 PM - A marathon of episodes of Batman: The Animated Series and 1966 episodes of the classic Batman TV series from the 1960's.

6:00 PM - The 1993 Animated Movie, Batman - Mask of the Phantasm (Rated PG)

7:30 PM - Bat-Raffle and a special continuation of our growing Superhero Comic Wall in the Children's Department.

8:15 - The classic, family friendly Batman: The Movie from 1966 staring Adam West and Burt Ward, screened out in the back garden.

We remind patrons to bring a lawn chair for the movie in the garden. The first fifty kids through the door will receive a special Bat-Gift bag and please, try not to double park your Bat-mobiles!
