Batman Day
1:20 PM
Happy Batman day! DC has been doing an annual Batman Day for the past couple years, and this year was more awesome than ever. As it continues to grow in popularity, the goodies and events do too! The holiday celebrates our beloved Dark Knight in all of his glory. Thousands of comic book shops, book stores, and libraries participate and have cool things going on. We went to Barnes & Noble where most Batman and related books were 20% off, and they were giving out all this sweet stuff! The comic book is a Barnes & Noble exclusive cover of Batman Endgame #1. I'm not sure how many different variant covers there were, but I know it's quite a few. Our local comic book shop was giving out copies with their exclusive cover too, but we didn't get a chance to stop by! That blueprint is the schematic for the new robotic Batman suit that commissioner Gordon wears. I'm like ninety-nine percent sure the little mask with the punch out eyes is a Green Arrow mask, but whatever, it was free! They also gave out bookmarks and temporary tattoos. AND at some select stores, amazing DC artists such as Jim Lee, Grant Morrison, Scott Snyder, Cameron Stewart, etc were doing meet & greets and signings. It was wonderful to see a bunch of kids at the store sitting around reading Batman comics and getting excited! I hope DC keeps this going for many years to come.
