On Thursday, September 26, the Hollywood Chamber of Commerce will honor Batman with the 2,790th star on the legendary Hollywood Walk of Fame. Batmans story of determination and grit has inspired generation after generation around the world. He is vengeance. He is the night. He is Batman.

Notable not for having any superpowers but for his intelligence, skill, and technical savvy, Batman is one of the most iconic characters in the world and is beloved worldwide thanks to his portrayal in comics, TV shows, animation, film, and more since he first appeared in 1939s Detective Comics #27. Batman is the first superhero character that the Hollywood Walk of Fame will honor with a star. Batmans Hollywood Walk of Fame star will be dedicated next to the star of televisions Batman, Adam West, and the co-creator of Batman, Bob Kane.

DCs president, publisher, and chief creative officer, Jim Lee, and DCs senior vice president and general manager, Anne DePies, will attend the Hollywood Walk of Fame ceremony on Thursday, September 26, at 11:30 a.m. PT at 6764 Hollywood Boulevard in front of the Hollywood Guinness World Records Museum when Batman, in character costume, receives his star in the category of motion pictures.

In conjunction with the Hollywood Walk of Fame ceremony, Batman will be awarded the Guinness World Records title for the first superhero with a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame in a special presentation by official GWR adjudicator Michael Empric. Other notable Guinness World Records titles that have been awarded include Detective Comics as the longest-running comic book (continuously published since 1938), and in 2012 Batman was recognized as the most adapted comic book character (live-action movies), from Batmans full-length movie in 1966 up to The Dark Knight Rises. Guinness World Records also recognizes Batman for having the most Oscar winners to play one superhero (George Clooney, Christian Bale, and Ben Affleck), for having the most video game adaptations of a superhero movie, and more.

In collaboration with Funko, an all-day fan event on September 26 will take place alongside the Hollywood Walk of Fame ceremony at Funko Hollywood (6201 Hollywood Blvd., Los Angeles, CA 90028). Jim Lee will participate in an exclusive one-hour meet and greet and signing for Batman fans at Funko Hollywood from 11:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. Attendees for this exclusive signing will be limited to fans who received a wristband.

Wristbands will be distributed to the first 100 fans who purchase a Batman product at Funko Hollywood on Tuesday, September 24, two days prior to the event. No outside product is permitted. One wristband per person. Wristbands are available on a first-come, first-served basis. On the day of the signing, fans can begin lining up at 9:00 a.m.

Warner Bros. Archives will also stage a curated pop-up museum of costumes and props from Batmans history in film and TV at Funko Hollywood. Authentic props, iconic costumesand some surpriseswill allow audiences a rare chance to enjoy pieces of Batman cinematic history up close and in person. More details will be announced soon.

Created for DC Comics by Bob Kane with Bill Finger, Batman and his story have transcended into one of the great American myths. Batman is simultaneously the Dark Knight, the Caped Crusader, and the Worlds Greatest Detective, and has stood as a symbol of justice, strength, and fearlessness for generations of fans for 85 years and counting. Batmans legendary star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame goes down in history as another first for the character, and for DC.

DC, part of Warner Bros. Discovery, creates iconic characters and enduring stories and is one of the worlds largest publishers of comics and graphic novels. DCs creative work entertains audiences of every generation around the world with DCs stories and characters integrated across Warner Bros. Discoverys film, television, animation, consumer products, home entertainment, games, and themed experiences divisions, and on the DC UNIVERSE INFINITE digital comics subscription service.
