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.
