A Supersized Interactive Batcave Experience is the spotlight of the Batman 85th Anniversary Celebration at SM Supermalls

Gear up Batman fans! Warner Bros. Discovery celebrates the The Caped Crusader’s 85th anniversary with rotating mall activations and retail pop-ups in SM Malls. A thematic interactive Batcave will excite fans of all generations — with five creative zones in place, shoppers can traverse through Batman’s legacy and role play his iconic story. Collectors will also be able to get ahold of exclusive merchandise available throughout the celebration.

Created by Bob Kane with Bill Finger, Batman was introduced in 1939’s comic book Detective Comics #27 and since then the Dark Knight has stood as a symbol of determination, courage, and justice to generations of fans for over 85 years. Batman is notable not for having any superpowers but for his intelligence, skill, and technical savvy—born out of tragedy, Bruce Wayne’s relentless pursuit of justice and willpower to protect others made him an instant icon. Today, Batman is recognized across the globe thanks to his portrayal in universally beloved comics, TV shows, animation and movies.

Through it all, Batman’s continued adventures through the pages of DC’s comics reaches readers around the globe every month. Batman has inspired countless writers and artists to tell stories of heroism and perseverance. He is vengeance. He is the night. He is Batman!
