Batman Day 2023 Round Up

Celebrating Martha Wayne Dropping Her Pearls

Another Batman Day is behind us, and it was easily the most successful one we’ve hosted. The key metric today was 300% more transactions than an average Saturday, mostly via $5-10 purchases. Best of all, we saw LOTS of new faces, signed up some subscribers and made a lot of people happy.

Kevin was an absolute rock star, in character working the crowd outside the shop. Posing for photos and speaking in a gruff voice, the kids loved him, even if they were a bit scared of him, too.

How could you be scared of this Batman?

Shot a quick promo video for social media before we opened the doors, which was a bit earlier than normal, as we had people waiting!

The new Rafael Grampá book was a hit and sold strong. Some took advantage of the half off Batman single issue sale to pick up keys like Damian’s first appearance (Batman #655) and the ENTIRE Scott Snyder run (congrats Jason!), but we also moved lots of collected editions and plenty of non-Bat items, too.

Tomorrow is our first-ever graphic novel swap. Customers are driving in from out of town and we’re expecting a solid contingent of new college students. Looking forward to another good day in the ol’ comic shop!
