Batman Day
Saturday, September 16: A day dedicated to the most famous superhero of DC Comics!
And yet, the beloved and famous superhero symbol of pop culture has his own day, which started being celebrated by DC comics fans in 2014, marking 75 years since the first appearance of the "Dark Knight".
DC Comics and Warner, who hold the rights to Batman, organize numerous events every year to honor the super hero, who remains particularly popular, even 83 years after his first introduction to the public, specifically in issue 27 of the magazine Detective Comics, which was released in 1939.
The "birth" of Batman (Bruce Wayne)
The protector of Gotham City was created as a character by Bob Kane and Bill Finger in 1939, as a "response" to the extremely popular Superman. After the success of the latter, DC Comics wanted to enrich its pantheon of superheroes with a new super hero, who was none other than the "Dark Knight", which also led to the creation of some of the most iconic "villains" we have encountered in comics, such as the Joker, Catwoman, and the Penguin.
