Batman will be among the 2020 honorees who will receive a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame according to VARIETY.

Of note, Batman is receiving his star under the “Film” category.

Batman is arguably the most famous and popular comic book character in pop culture today.  The character can be found in almost every medium including movies, TV, animation, video games, and of course, comic books.

Also according to the Hollywood Walk of Fame official website, Burt Ward will also receive a star on the HWOF.

Burt Ward played Dick Grayson/Robin next to the late/great Adam West’s Bruce Wayne/Batman on the BATMAN TV series that ran on the ABC television network from 1966 to 1968, as well as the theatrically-released BATMAN film in 1966.  He most recently reprised the role on BATMAN: RETURN OF THE CAPED CRUSADERS and BATMAN VS.

Bill "Jett" Ramey
Bill “Jett” Ramey isn’t just a Batman fan — he’s one of the founding fathers of the online Batman community. As the creator and Editor-in-Chief of Batman-On-Film.com, the original and longest-running Batman news and commentary site, Jett helped carve the very bedrock of modern fan internet press. If there is a Mount Rushmore of this stuff, his face is already up there — sunglasses on, arms crossed, probably telling someone to calm down. A lifelong Dark Knight disciple, Jett has spent decades championing filmmaker‑driven Batman stories, cutting through fanboy noise with a Texas‑sized dose of honesty, and keeping the conversation smart, civil, and drama‑free. He’s the BOF Godfather — the guy who was here before the hashtags, before the clickbait, before the algorithms… and he’s still here, still talking Batman, still calling it straight. When he steps out of Gotham, Jett is pure Texas. He bleeds Dallas Cowboys blue, blasts Elvis and rock ’n’ roll, and has a deep appreciation for cold beer, dive bars, and Texas Longhorns football. He works out, he cooks, and he can grill like a man who’s earned the right to say “don’t assume” when he tells you he lives in the great state of Texas. He shares that home with his wife — “Announcer Rachel” — and their dogs: Gracelin the Labradoodle and Presley, a rescue pup named after the King himself.
