DC Comics announced today (September 16) that on September 26th, Batman will receive an honor not bestowed on any other superhero. On September 26, 2024, the Caped Crusader will become the first superhero to receive an honored star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. The event will take place on Thursday September 26, at 11:30 AM PT in front of the Hollywood Guinness World Records Museum located at 6764 Hollywood Boulevard. DC’s president, publisher, and chief creative officer, Jim Lee and DC’s senior vice president and general manager, Anne DePies will attend the event along with a fully costumed Batman. Batman’s star will be in the category of motion pictures.
In addition to the star on the Walk of Fame, Batman will also be presented with the Guinness World Records of being the first superhero to receive a star on the Walk of Fame. However, this is not the first time the Dark Knight has received such an honor. Detective Comics holds the world record as the longest-running comic book, being continuously in publication since 1938. In 2012, Guinness also recognized Batman as the most adapted comic book character in live-action movies. Guinness World Records also recognizes Batman for having the most Oscar winners to play one superhero and for having the most video game adaptations of a superhero movie.
Warner Bros. Archives, a division of Warner Bros.-Discovery (DC’d parent company), will also stage a curated pop-up museum of costumes and props from Batman’s history in film and TV at Funko Hollywood, located at 6201 Hollywood Blvd. in Los Angeles. Authentic props, iconic costumes—and some surprises—will allow audiences a rare chance to enjoy pieces of Batman cinematic history up close and in person.
