Fans around the globe will celebrate Batman Day on September 20, 2025! Warner Bros. Discovery and DC are planning lots of exciting activities, including new comics, games, and movie screenings, to honor Batman.

First appearing in *Detective Comics #27* in 1939, Batman has remained a beloved character for fans of all ages, captivating audiences through comic books, movies, animated series, and video games.

Batman Backlot Tour and Screening

On September 20th, Warner Bros. Studio Tour Hollywood is offering a special day dedicated to Batman! Fans will get to explore the studio backlot and see authentic costumes, props, and Batmobiles from past films. The event will also include DC Comics trivia, chances to take photos, and a free copy of the comic book *Batman & Robin Year One #1* by Mark Waid and Chris Samnee, as long as supplies last.

The celebration wraps with a screening of Batman Forever introduced by producer Michael Uslan.
