The caped crusader, who debuted in 1939, joins other illustrious figures — including Adam West, the actor who played him on TV.

Batman, the Caped Crusader of comic book, TV and film fame is set today to become the first superhero with a star on the Walk of Fame.

The Hollywood Chamber of Commerce will grant Batman a star on the iconic Hollywood Walk of Fame later this month, making the Caped Crusader the first ever superhero to receive the honor. The star – the 2,790th – will be placed next to those dedicated to Batman co-creator Bob Kane, and Adam West, who famously portrayed the character on TV.

Wristbands will be distributed to the first 100 fans who purchase a Batman product at Funko Hollywood on Tuesday, September 24, two days prior to the event. No outside product is permitted. One wristband per person. Wristbands are available on a first-come, first-served basis. On the day of the signing, fans can begin lining up at 9:00 a.m.”
