Celebrate The Dark Knight With A Full Slate Of Batman Day 2021 Activities

Attention, citizens of Gotham City! Batman Day 2021 is on September 18, and as usual, DC Comics is offering fans a lot of ways to celebrate — including free digital comics, a podcast dedicated to The Dark Knight, and collaborations with FaZe Clan and Webtoon.

Kicking things off will be the debut of Batman: The Audio Adventures, an HBO Max-exclusive scripted podcast that will drop all ten episodes on Batman Day. The scripted draws inspiration from the vintage noir atmosphere of the celebrated Batman: The Animated Series, the spirited fun of the classic 1960s Batman TV series, and the entire 80-plus year history of the Caped Crusader. Described as a "rollicking" and "over-the-top" adventure, the series will star Jeffrey Wright as Batman, Rosario Dawson as Catwoman, and John Leguizamo as The Riddler.

Fans should be on the lookout for a trailer for this audio series soon, along with a special, 80-page, companion one-shot comic book that will be available in October.

Speaking of comics, DC will also launch a massive, 184-page hardcover anthology titled Batman: The World honoring the Dark Knight's international influence on pop culture. The massive 184-page hardcover anthology includes Batman stories from creative teams around the globe. Each story will take place in the artists’ home countries, which include the U.S., Brazil, China, the Czech Republic, France, Germany, Italy, Japan, Mexico, Poland, Russia, South Korea, Spain, and Turkey.

There will be a free Batman: The World sampler available on DC Universe Infinite with a lead story titled "Global City" by Brian Azzarello and Lee Bermejo, plus previews of stories from international talent teams.

The day will also see DC releasing a special reprint of Batman/Fortnite Zero Point #1, a special edition of Batman Knightwatch Bat-Tech #1, and a limited-edition comic and merchandise line partnering Batman with the gaming organization FaZe Clan. Additionally, DC will be debuting its first title through WebToon, Batman: Wayne Family Adventures,.

Cartoon Network will also be celebrating Batman with a lineup of programming, including a new episode of Teen Titans GO! on Batman Day. The episode, titled "Batman's Birthday Gift," follows the Titans as they try to deliver a birthday gift to Batman but face detours several times along the way.
