If you are part of the hordes rushing to get your fill of sci-fi and fanfiction at Mc Cormick Place's C2E2 this weekend,don't be surprised to see some of your favorite characters doing more than just posing for pictures. Acrobatica Infiniti, a group of acrobats, contortionists and jugglers will be in house stirring up dust. They call themselves the Nerd Circus because they appear as superhero,supervillain and fictional characters to perform all of their stunts.
If the sight of Batman and Robin flipping through the air together doesn't make it worth braving the C2E2 crowds, then nothing will. Acrobatica Infiniti performs on Friday at 2pm, Saturday at 6, and Sunday at 1:15 at the Family HQ stage, or visit booth 162 to meet the cast in person. There are rumored to be appearances from the Green Arrow, Magneto, Wonder Woman, Harley and the Joker, Batman and Robin, Cat Woman, a jedi and many more.
