Since 2014, DC has celebrated the history of Batman with a special Batman Day. The tradition continues this year with Batman Day 2025. However, this year’s event promises to be the biggest one yet.
The first Batman Day was held on July 23, 2014. It coincided with that year’s San Diego Comic Con weekend and the 75th anniversary of the first Batman comic’s publication. Since then, it has usually been held on the third or fourth Saturday of September. Batman Day 2025 falls on Saturday, September 20.
What can you get on Batman Day 2025?
Participating comic book stores will offer a selection of special comics for Batman Day 2025.

There will also be reprint editions of Batman and Robin Year One #1, Batman: Year Two #1, and the original Batman #1 from 1940.
