It’s apparently Bat Appreciation Day (because everyone and everything now gets one), and the celebration has the added effect of bringing out fans of The Batman, as well. Even though The Dark Knight already days dedicated to his glory, people clearly can’t separate the thought of Batman from the actual bats that inspired his dark persona. If nothing else, it’s a testament to what DC Comics has accomplished, with Batman reigning as one of the biggest icons in the world for nearly a century.

Until then, take a look at how many people have Batman on the brain, during #BatAppreciationDay:

Michael Keaton practicallyย became a bat to play Batman in Tim Burton’sย Batmanย (1989). That version of the character changed the game and made Batman a worldwide icon like never before.ย

Always remember the deep, profound inspiration that Bruce Wayne found in seeing a bat burst into his home. Let us all be that inspired by them.ย
