Children got close up to a replica of the Batmobile when it was the star attraction at a toyshop at Cribbs Causeway.

Hidden in a Batcave, the life-sized model of the superhero's famous car was at the Toys 'R' Us store as part of the launch of a toy range based on a new animated series, Batman: The Brave and the Bold. Although they couldn't get inside the car, the youngsters also joined Batman and other heroes of DC Comics, including Blue Beetle, Aquaman, Plastic Man, Green Arrow and Red Tornado.
