Fans can embrace their inner Caped Crusader thanks to a raft of themed activities.
DC has unveiled plans for a global Batman Day celebration on September 19, 2020, inviting fans of all ages around the world to participate in a wide range of Batman-themed activities to honour the iconic DC super hero.
For the first time, fans have the opportunity to drive along with a ‘Batman and The Riddler’ theme on Waze – a GPS navigation software app which is owned by Google. And to complete the experience, they can listen to the Waze and DC Super Hero or Super-Villain playlists on Spotify while driving via the Waze Audio Player feature.
In addition, free digital comics, free activity kits for kids, a Batman Virtual 5k/10k run/walk, and even a digital mystery to solve in which fans can put on their cape and cowl and transform into ‘their strongest self’ are also planned.
Fans will also be able to team up with Batman to protect Gotham City in a series of digital activities, such as joining the celebration on social media and helping Batman to piece together a series of clues left behind by The Riddler.
The adventure begins from the virtual Bat-Signal lights up at 12pm PT, September 18 on the DC Comics Twitter account (@DCComics).
The new Waze Batman theme allows for more than 100 million monthly active Waze users to ride along with Batman and The Riddler from August 31 to October 31.
Waze drivers can opt to hear directions in the style of Batman – voiced by Batman: The Animated Series actor Kevin Conroy – as well as select a custom Batmobile icon and Batman mood. Drivers who want a slightly more villainous experience can select The Riddler voice directions (voiced by actor Wally Wingert), mood and custom vehicle. Waze users worldwide can experience the Batman theme in English, Spanish and Portuguese.
