Every September DC Comics gives us the most wonderful time of the year… Batman Day. Given the shape of the world in 2020 this year we need the Dark Knight more than most and DC hasn’t disappointed.
The company has announced it’s plans for Batman Day to take place on September 19, including give aways, global events and surprises from across the brand.
Highlights of this year’s event include:
- Caped Crusader Training: Are you ready to team up with Batman? In the week leading up to Batman Day, fans will have a chance to immerse themselves in all things Batman. Each day, visit BatmanDay.com to find new activities, such as DIY cape and cowl instructions, a how-to video about creating your own Bat-Signal, and more!
- Batman Virtual 5K/10K Run: Get your cape on and participate in the Batman Virtual 5K or 10K Run/Walk. Launching on August 31 in partnership with RAM Racing, the Batman Virtual Run allows participants to run their own race during the day or under the darkness of night (but with reflective gear for safety!). Registered participants will receive an exclusive collection of Batman-branded gear, including a premium quarter-zip pullover, finisher’s medal, cap and more.
