Happy Batman Day!


Today is Saturday, September 21st.


"Do you remember the 21st night of September?" from September by Kool & the Gang.


Well, there is a lot going on. 


Today is Arbor Day in Brazil, Spring Day in Argentina, Student's Day (Bolivia), Customs Service Day in Poland and it is both Founder's Day and National Volunteer Day in Ghana.


It is also Independence Day in three different nations:

  • the independence of Armenia from the Soviet Union in 1991
  • the independence of Belize from the United Kingdom in 1981
  • the independence of Malta from the United Kingdom in 1964


Today is also (and perhaps most importantly) BATMAN DAY! 




Batman Day, DC’s annual celebration of the Dark Knight, is happening today, celebrating Batman’s 80th anniversary.


The events planned for this date include beaming the Bat-Signal into the skies in cities around the world. 


Batman’s iconic symbol will light up skyscrapers and landmarks in the following cities:


  • Melbourne, Australia at Fed Square facing Flinders Street
  • Tokyo at MAGNET by SHIBUYA109 at Shibuya Scramble Crossing
  • Berlin at Potzdamer Platz 11
  • Paris at Galeries Lafayette
  • Barcelona at Museu Nacional d’Art de Catalunya
  • London at the Senate House
  • São Paulo at Itaúsa - LMB
  • New York City
  • Montreal at Complex Dupuis
  • Mexico City at Torre Reforma
  • Los Angeles at City Hall



Now having all these Bat-Signals beaming into the night sky sounds awesome but Mike Sterling thinks it’s irresponsible.


What if there is a genuine Bat emergency?


Yeah!

But Batman is wise. He will know the difference. 

Sleep well. 


Batman is watching over us.
