Inspired by his favorite childhood heroes Batman and Spiderman, Taiwan-based singer and songwriter Lee-Hom Wang wants his upcoming concerts to give him an opportunity to become "Music-Man."

Wang announced the theme for his concerts, due to be held on September 19 and 20 at the Taipei Arena, in a press conference on Tuesday.

Strong visual effects will be a feature of the concerts, Wang told the Tungstar. Fans can expect to see the same stylistic displays found in Batman, Spiderman and even Superman, he says.

Asked who the enemy of his "Music-Man" incarnation is, Wang replied, "Piracy and people making bad music."

The singer will release a new album in September, and is expected to perform some of the new songs at the concerts.

Tickets opened Tuesday in hot demand, with the first show being sold out in just two hours, Tungstar reports.
