See photos from this event.

Even your grandmother could name Batman's sidekick or home base (or maybe both). The Dark Knight is arguably the world's most popular superhero and one of the most iconic and influential fictional characters of all time. Celebrate the seventy-fifth anniversary of his first appearance, in Detective Comics #27 (May 1939), with this panel of influential creators and interpreters of Batman entertainment, all of whom were fans first. (Bring your grandmother.)

The following book signings will follow the event:
Batman: Death By Design (Chip Kidd)
Bill The Boy Wonder: The Secret Co-Creator of Batman and Boys of Steel: The Creators of Superman (Marc Tyler Nobleman)
The Boy Who Loved Batman: A Memoir (Michael Uslan)
 
Additional Batman books will also be available for purchase.
