Released to the world on this very day 81 years ago, the 27th issue of "Detective Comics" introduced to the world the very first iteration of "The Bat-Man" - created by Bill Finger and Bob Kane and chronicling the very first appearance of Bruce Wayne and his dark knight vigilante persona in the pages of comics. While the cover date is listed as "May 1939", many historians have noted, as well as entered in the DC Database, that the street/ publication date was "March 30, 1939".
While Batman does have an official "Batman Day" usually held on September each year by DC Comics, this is still a date that Batfans around the world celebrate and honor. Long Live The Bat!
