Fear that the upcoming Batman Live stage tour can mirror the disastrous Spider-man: Turn Off the Dark Broadway show was addressed these days when the production unveiled the cast and costume in a media launch in London. At the very least, they're already doing 3 things right: the script is written by a comic book book writer, it's no newly created-up villain, and Bono is nowhere near this factor.
Yes, as the producers keep stressing, this can not be a musical like Turn Off the Dark, despite being directed by Anthony Van Laast, who's famous for choreographing musicals like Mamma Mia!, Sister Act and Joseph and therefore the Technicolor Dreamcoat. Not that I even have anything against a Batman musical (Hey, The Brave and the Bold did it brilliantly), but it's most likely better for this production to target stunts and awes rather than songs, and to draw as abundant distinction as attainable from one among the biggest trainwrecks in Broadway history.
In the video below, watch as Joker introduces the other villains, before having his monologue interrupted by you-recognize-who.
