Cartoon characters such as Mickey Mouse, Donald Duck, Bugs Bunny and Snoopy have already been immortalized with a star on Hollywood’s “Walk of Fame”. Now Batman, the first superhero, has been given a place of honor on the famous sidewalk. The plaque was unveiled in front of cheering fans, guests of honor and photographers.
Wearing a black cape, mask and the iconic bat symbol on his chest, a man posed on the star – it is the 2,790th on the tourist mile in the heart of Hollywood.
Ex-Robin among the guests
Among the guests was American actor Burt Ward, who played the young companion Robin in the 1960s TV series “Batman.” Ward unveiled his star on the Walk of Fame in 2020.
Before him, Batman actor Adam West (1928 – 2017) and the inventor of the comic book hero, Batman illustrator Bob Kane (1915 -1998) were honored there.
The new Batman star is located in front of the Guinness World Records Museum building in Hollywood. The Guinness Book of Records once recognized Batman as the comic book hero with the most feature film appearances.
First superhero star for Batman
With the first superhero star, another milestone has now been added, a company employee said in a speech for record achievements.
The dark hero first appeared 85 years ago, in March 1939, in the booklet “Detective Comics #27”. Cartoonist Bob Kane created the Bat-Man on behalf of National Comics, later DC Comics, along with author Bill Finger. They established Batman (from the English ‘bat’) in the dark metropolis of Gotham City.
Behind the black mask lies the multi-millionaire Bruce Wayne, who as a child witnessed the murder of his parents and subsequently swore revenge on all criminals. His character in a black costume with a cape became world famous through comics, television series, films, toys and computer games.
