Batman Day in 2020 fell on Sep 19. The day is meant to pay tribute to the Gotham Defender – Batman. The day was introduced by DC Comics to honor the character, the superhero. First time it was celebrated in the year 2014 to mark his 75th anniversary. Now in 2021, there is a bigger plan to make the 82nd anniversary something that is very special.
