The Hollywood Chamber of Commerce will grant Batman a star on the iconic Hollywood Walk of Fame later this month, making the Caped Crusader the first ever superhero to receive the honor. The star – the 2,790th – will be placed next to those dedicated to Batman co-creator Bob Kane, and Adam West, who famously portrayed the character on TV.
DC president Jim Lee will attend the ceremony, which takes place on September 26, at 11:30 a.m. PT at 6764 Hollywood Boulevard, as will DC senior vice president Anne DePies.

Fans in the area will be able to meet Jim Lee at a one hour meet and greet beginning at 11.30am. To take part in that you'll need to get a wristband, which will be handed out to the first 100 people to buy a Batman product just down the street at Funko Hollywood on Tuesday, September 24, two days before the star is unveiled.
The ceremony will follow this year's Batman Day, which takes place on Saturday, September 21. Comic shops will have a selection of special Batman titles available including the 184-page Joker: The World anthology, which collects stories of the Clown Prince of Crime from around the globe, as well as a Batman Day Deluxe Edition of Batman: The Long Halloween, the first issue of its new sequel series, Batman The Long Halloween: The Last Halloween, and a Noir Edition of the Batman/Elmer Fudd crossover.
In honor of the special day, the Bat-Signal will be lit in various locations around the world including at Warner Bros. Studio Tour Hollywood, which will also be screening Tim Burton's 1989 Batman movie. You can purchase tickets for that here.
