Batman Day 2015

This weekend, I had the pleasure of attending my first Batman day with some of my cosplay friends. We supported several different events throughout the day. I do not have a Batman cosplay, but my friend Dark Knight of the Upstate has an amazing one. You should check out his Facebook page before I get rolling. Let’s not forget to give a shout out to our friend the Green Arrow too!

Starting early afternoon, I attended Batman Day festivities at Borderlands Comics and Games. They had 25% off all Batman Merchandise in the store, and free comic books for the kids. There were so many kiddos dressed up in batman gear. The little guy in the picture below made me so happy. His mom threw that costume together in 30 minutes!

After Borderlands, Green Arrow and Batman took Supergirl out for some food because as Batman stated, “Yes, no one wants a hangry Supergirl. Laser Vision + Hyperglycemia = Mass Property Damage.” Once the food issue was taken care of I attended an Upstate Comic Artists Meeting at the Barnes & Noble on Haywood Road as a cosplay guest. My friend Lance Footer who invited me surprised me with a sketch of Supergirl since I am retiring this costume. Not to mention the awesome mini Supergirl cosplayer that showed up. They really did a good job making me feel more like it was Supergirl Day than Batman Day!

I couldn’t stay at this Barnes & Noble long because there was one more appointment at the Barnes & Noble on Woodruff Road where I met back up with Batman and Green Arrow. There were a lot of kids who showed up at this event. I love that the parents were just as excited to see us.

Monday I found out that I won the drawing for the signed Batman Poster they were giving away! It really was a perfect day to retire what has been my favorite cosplay so far, but don’t worry. Bigger and better things lie ahead.
