On September 20, 2025, fans across the globe will come together for Batman Day, an annual celebration of DC’s legendary Dark Knight. Since his first appearance in Detective Comics #27 back in 1939, Batman has inspired generations with stories that showcase his determination, ingenuity, and grit.
This year, DC and Warner Bros. Discovery have announced they are going all out with events, comics, collectibles, and more. That’s saying a lot since year over year, they blow us away with ways to celebrate Batman.

For one day only, fans can take part in an immersive Batman-themed studio tour. Expect trivia, photo ops, rare props, and classic Batmobiles from the archives, plus a complimentary copy of Batman & Robin Year One #1 (Mark Waid and Chris Samnee). The night ends with a special screening of Batman Forever, introduced by producer Michael Uslan.
