If you’ve been following DKN or any other comic book site for the past few weeks, you know that this Saturday, September 26, is Batman Day. Aside from being able to pick up a free Batman comic at participating retailers, you can also get free handcrafted Batman cupcakes at Sprinkles stores.
Well, there is a condition: you have to be one of the first 100 customers to show up to a Sprinkles location dressed as Batman. Considering that you likely won’t see 100 Batmen wandering around your hometown, I think your chances of landing that tasty treat are reasonably good provided that you show up at a decent hour. It has been said that all Sprinkles locations are taking part.
There is also a massive digital sale on Batman titles this week. Considering there’s so much information to take in, I’m going to directly quote DC’s blog:
