On March 30, 1939, Batman made his debut on the pages of Detective Comics #27!
Needless to say, Batman looks better than most of us would at 86 years. Happy anniversary to DC's courageous and determined Dark Knight! Thank you for protecting Gotham from the shadows for so many years and may you continue fighting the good fight!
September 21 was chosen to be this year's Batman Day!
Happy Batman Day, everyone! Enjoy it while it lasts, and as always, long live the Bat.
Good news to fans of Batman everywhere! Gotham City's Dark Knight has been included in the Hollywood Walk of Fame. will be awarded the Guinness World Records title for the first superhero with a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame in a special presentation by official GWR adjudicator Michael Empric.
With Batman celebrating 85 years of history in 2024 and Batman Day just around the corner, this event will certainly be considered a victory for the Caped Crusader and his community. The cultural importance and historical significance of Batman are obvious even to people that have never read comics in their lives. In a time where superheroes have been more accepted by popular culture, it's good to see that Batman remains popular and relevant to the people of the world. More than just a character, Batman is a symbol of determination, intelligence and justice in the face of a cruel, uncaring world. There are hundreds of superheroes out there, but there is only one Batman.

I fucking hate "Earth 789". The mere concept of it disgusts me. Why would any smooth-brained writers at DC want to combine the Burtonverse and Donnerverse as well as make sure Clark and Kara are the only super-powered beings? It makes no sense. The Burtonverse was dark and macabre, with an air of black comedy. The Donnerverse on the other hand was lighthearted, campy, and optimistic. It's especially baffling since The Flash (2023) canonized Nicolas Cage's Superman from Superman Lives, who was supposed to be the Superman of the Burtonverse. It's all complicated for no reason whatsoever. If I were in charge at DC, I'd make it so that the Donnerverse is Earth 78, the Burtonverse is Earth 89, and the Schumacherverse is Earth 97. The problem is that DC seems to treat its multiverse(s) differently from Marvel. But now, after Dark Crisis restored the Infinite Multiverse, there's no reason to have multiple multiverses. Why not increase communication between different creative teams, DC? Or better yet have advisors to address this sort of discrepancy? If you have one big infinite fictional multiverse, give each universe and piece of media a unique designation, and STOP REUSING UNIVERSE DESIGNATIONS FFS!!!
Rant over.

It's safe to say that Batman looks better than most of us at 84 years old. Happy anniversary to Gotham's courageous Dark Knight and may he continue protecting Gotham from the shadows.

I wonder if we’ll ever get a Batman ‘97 comic set on Earth-97 (SchumacherVerse)?

Apparently there is a new Batman comic coming out called Batman '89 where it will "Continuing the twisted adventures of DC’s Dark Knight from Tim Burton's seminal classic Batman movies, Batman ’89 brings in screenwriter Sam Hamm (Batman, Batman Returns) and artist Joe Quinones (Dial H for Hero) to pull on a number of threads left dangling by the prolific director. The gothic mentality behind the world, while still rooted in a sense of realism, helped inform many of DC’s global fans’ first impressions on the Dark Knight's Gotham. In the new Batman ’89 comic, Hamm and Quinones will help usher in the return of Selina Kyle/Catwoman and will debut a new Robin! Plus, Quinones has a vision for Harvey Dent/Two-Face that is as close to movie magic as a comic can get!"
