Join us as Batman receives a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame.
Many who were a part of the Batman universe were on hand at the unveiling of the Caped Crusader's star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame on September 26th. Aside from DC President, Publisher, and Chief Creative Officer Jim Lee, DC SVP and General Manager Anne DePies, and Guinness World Record adjudicator Michael Empric on hand, emcee Steve Nissen, the president & CEO of the Hollywood Chamber of Commerce hosted the ceremony featuring many special guests.
Participating are notable Batman actors Burt Ward, who played Dick Grayson/Robin in the 1966 ABC TV live-action series Batman, and voice actors Jason O'Mara, Troy Baker, Hamish Linklater, and Diedrich Bader. Sadly, none of the live-action actors who played the Dark Knight from the films appeared. Images courtesy of DC Comics & Warner Bros. Batman Becomes First Superhero to Receive Star on Hollywood Walk of Fame While it's a coincidence, September 2024 has been kind to Batman since not only did he end the month with a star, but director Tim Burton, who helped make the superhero a cinematic sensation with his 1989 live-action adaptation of Batman and its 1992 sequel, Batman Returns, also received a star on the 3rd to start the month. Others celebrating the honor from afar include executive producer Michael Uslan, DC Studios co-chair and co-CEO James Gunn, and more.

Without a shortage of villains to fight in Batman's rogue gallery terrorizing Gotham City and beyond, Bruce, who initially started as a crimefighting lone wolf with the assistance of his faithful butler Alfred Pennyworth, who typically monitors activity remotely, eventually embraced teamwork, training a variety of young crimefighting apprentices who would adopt the name, Robin; Batgirl/Oracle Barbara Gordon, and of course, the Justice League on global matters. Not only does Batman have an enriched history of over eight decades in comics, but also been a favorite on film, TV, and video games. You can check out the ceremony below. Batman Day in Hollywood!
