Created by artist Bob Kane and writer Bill Finger, Batman and his alter ego Bruce Wayne first appeared more than 80 years ago, in 1941's. DC Comics and Warner Bros. recently announced"Batman Day" events to celebrate the Caped Crusader, also known as the World's Greatest Detective, inaugurating the occasion with Bat-Signals to be lit in major cities around the world on Saturday, September 21.
An iconic Batman emblem, the Bat-Signal is a bright light used by the police of Batman's Gotham City as a call for help. Projecting the silhouette of a bat against the sky, the Bat-Signal has long stood for Batman's ongoing vigilance. The Batman Day Bat-Signals will join thousands of fan celebrations around the world, which include free comic books, appearances by Batman writers and artists and even 5K night runs.
"Batman's lack of superpowers roots him in reality," DC Publisher Dan DiDio said in the Q&A."He's an underdog and people find this inspiring, and they see themselves in Batman." The Bat-Signal will be lit in participating cities around sunset, shortly before 8 p.m. local time, beginning in Melbourne, Australia, at Fed Square, facing Flinders Street. Fourteen hours later, the Bat-Signal will be activated in New York — the real-life analog to Bruce Wayne's Gotham City.
