It’s that time again, Bat-fans. Batman Day is this weekend, and HBO Max has all of the Batman series and films you need to watch.
The first Batman Day was July 23, 2014. That was the date chosen to commemorate the 75th anniversary of the first appearance of Batman in Detective Comics. (Batman actually debuted in June 1939, but the day was chosen to coincide with 2014 San Diego Comic Con.) In the subsequent years, DC’s extended the celebrated date to the September. This year marks the fifth year for Batman Day and the 80th anniversary of the caped crusader.
