Throughout Saturday night 18th September, in honour of Batman Day 2021, the iconic Bat-Signal lit up the skies in London, Liverpool and Glasgow to celebrate The Dark Knight on Batman Day 2021.

The iconic Bat-Signal shone a light on imposing buildings across the UK on Saturday. The participating cities - London, Liverpool, and Glasgow - had been revealed in advance, but the exact locations were shrouded in mystery. The exact locations were teased on Instagram and Facebook by DC GB Facebook and DCUKComics on the 18th to give Bat-Signal seekers a head start.

Eagle eyed fans who spotted the building and came to the Bat-Signal were also in with the chance of being surprised with Batman themed rewards, as the first ten people on site who approached event organisers and declared “I love Batman” won the recently released Batman: The World Anthology and Batman Anthology 4k/blu-ray/DVD Collection.
