Happy 77th!

DC Comics proclaimed this #BatmanDay with celebrations in comic books shops the country.

Writer Bob Kane with artist Bill Finger created this iconic hero in Detective Comics #27 in 1939 as the Bat Man.

Bruce Wayne would later be known as Batman, The Dark Knight, The World’s Greatest Detective, Caped Crusader but always an inspiring hero.

On the big screen Ben Affleck will play the Dark Knight again in Justice League next year and in a new standalone Batman film.

Thanks to Kane, Finger and all the great writers and artists (like Greg Capullo seen here) for contributing to the immortal legacy of Batman.
