Here’s something horrifying: For this year’s Batman Day,DC Universe Online is offering players a chance to redeem a code (DARKKNIGHT26) to get a free t-shirt in-game celebrating that The Dark Knight Returns is 40 years old this year. Yes, the comic that was made when Frank Miller realized he was older than Batman is now 40. Time is weird. Batman, of course, is eternal, and the game where Batman gets to run around is going all-out with rewards for Batman Day by offering players a new Primal Bat Cowl and a new Batman emblem to earn.
You can also get Batman to show up in person with the new Base Invitation: Batman, which lets him visit your base and make judgments about your life choices. How do you get these Batman things? Why, you do Batman-related content through September 21st, with 10 days of progress required for all the rewards. Run through Metal (parts one and two), the Iceberg Lounge solo, the Arkham Asylum Alert, and the Gotham City Zoo raid (among others) to make progress on impressing the Dark Knight himself. He can’t return because he never left this game, get it?
