It appears that the influence of Batman is to once more be reflected on the calendar. In accordance with the support of the vast majority, DC Entertainment has announced that September 26th of this year is to be attributed to one of, if not the, most popular of Detective Comic's characters. Batman has become a prominently influential icon found throughout popular culture. Gaming, in this respect, is no exception. The success of Batman in this branch of the entertainment industry, however, is of the far more recent variety. Prior to 2009, Batman was relatively unpopular amongst gaming enthusiasts and participants. Those few games that did feature the beloved hero did not receive significant critical acclaim. It was follwing the release of Batman: Arkham Asylum (2009) that The Dark Knight's popularity as a game icon began to parallel that of the film industry. It is believed that the success of Christopher Nolan's film trilogy may have served as a primary inspiration for the Batman: Arkham series. The two sagas, however, are entirely independent of one another. The Dark Knight trilogy is unique to its director whilst the Batman: Arkham series was created in collaboration with DC Comics, the original creators of Batman in 1939. While "Batman Day" may merely serve as a promotional tactic to its initiators, it also presents an opportunity on behalf of any who may possess interest in this Caped Crusader to reflect upon those memories and sensations that have rendered him the prime subject of an entire day of this year.
