As Batman-News notes, Valladares and Cetrone were also working as Affleck’s stunt doubles on Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice. They were integral in bringing the warehouse fight scene, a favorite among fans, to life.
Ben Affleck himself also celebrated Batman Day with an Instagram post of his own, and Batman v Superman director Zack Snyder participated in the festivities when he named Affleck the best Batman of all time. Even Superman actor Henry Cavill, Affleck’s Batman v Superman co-star, celebrated with a surprisingly bat-like cat picture.
Others include Danny Elfman, the composer of the scores to Batman and Batman Returns, also celebrated while working on the score for Justice League, and The Dark Knight Rises star Joseph Gordon-Levitt.
Many members of the comic book industry shared their own Batman Day celebrations, and the internet at large got in on the Batman Day festivities with the “If Batman were president” hashtag.
Batman Day is now in its fourth year. The event was created by DC Entertainment and Warner Bros. as a celebration of DC Comics’ most popular character. Batman Day celebrations include signings at comic book stores, giveaways, and other Batman-related deals.
This year, Batman Day is also commemorating the 25th birthday of Harley Quinn, who debuted in Batman: The Animated Series in 1992, and so many of this year’s giveaways and deals revolved around her.
