HOLY MEMORY LANE, BATMAN!

I first found Empire in the summer of 1989, buying issue 2 in Heathrow airport. Then a 14-year-old kid, I was hooked. I remember reading about the making of Tim Burton’s

Batman, seeing the models and huge sets at Pinewood. I’ve collected every issue (see pic, from the home cinema I built myself ), and now my kids are reading it, too. Congrats on an amazing 30 years! ALEX PERDIOS, VIA EMAIL

364 issues, 30 years, five Batmen, one Mr Freeze. It’s been a wild ride — thanks for joining us, Alex. Enjoy your Picturehouse passes — Joker’s on the horizon…
