Clydebank youngsters will have a chance to meet The Caped Crusader next week.

Local toy store The Entertainer will be visited by Batman on Saturday, October 29 as he takes a break from fighting crime in Gotham City.

The Dark Knight will be in town between 11am and 3.30pm and families and fans of the superhero will get a chance to pose for snaps at the shop's free event.

Craig Lowe, events coordinator at The Entertainer, said: “We’re delighted to welcome Batman to our Clydebank store on Tuesday, October 25.

"Batman is an incredibly popular character amongst parents and children alike, so we anticipate an exciting day for all!”

The shop, based in the town's Clyde Shopping Centre, has experience welcoming some familiar faces from the world of entertainment.

In June, Sonic the Hedgehog stopped by to pose for photographs with fans.

And just last Saturday, JJ from Cocomelon was in town to say hello.

Due to the expected demand for the Batman visit, parents are advised to arrive in plenty of time to avoid disappointment.
