Saturday, September 26th is BATMAN DAY where bookstores, comic shops, and other retailers will be celebrating this iconic character with fun promotional giveaways and special deals on Batman products. Kids and kids-at-heart can also have some fun at home on BATMAN DAY too by enjoying these activity sheets, coloring pages, and mask cutouts from DC Comics:
If you are heading out on Saturday make sure to stop by a comic shop, book store, or participating retailer to receive a FREE copy of BATMAN ENDGAME SPECIAL EDITION #1 with an 8-page preview of the upcoming BATMAN AND ROBIN ETERNAL. Comic book stores will all have one cover for this free comic book but other retailers including Barnes & Noble, Best Buy, Books a Million, FYE, Gamestop, Hot Topics and Spencers will be handing out comics with exclusive variant covers.

To help fans get in the spirit for #BATMANDAY the various DC Comics Facebook pages have been updated with themed banners.
But wait! take a closer look! In addition to their being a Batman logo on the banner could there be something else lurking in the shadows?
It's Batman! They've added an image of the dark knight in the main banner of these nine Facebook pages as Easter eggs for fans to look for in a great caped crusader hunt: Aquaman, Superman, Wonder Woman, The Flash, Green Lantern, Justice League, Harley Quinn, Green Arrow, and Vertigo Comics. Did you find all the hidden Batman images in the artwork? Some are pretty easy to spot and others are really difficult.
As Robin would say Holy Armadillo Batman there sure is going to be a lot of Batmania going on September 26th!
