DC Comics’ website has an article detailing their official celebration of Batman Day, comic stores will be celebrating on July 23 and participating libraries will be having their own celebration on July 26th!
"Batman is celebrating his 75th anniversary this year, and to mark the occasion, comic shops, bookstores and libraries by the hundreds will be observing “Batman Day,” a full day devoted to all things Dark Knight! On Wednesday, July 23, participating comic shops and bookstores will give away free copies of DETECTIVE COMICS #27 SPECIAL EDITION, an updated take on the comic that first introduced Batman to the world.

And lastly I have an interesting article on the Cultural Impact of Batman from the Aiken Standard, written by Lauren Haley.
"Batman is more than a comic book character or a figure on the silver screen, he’s a cultural icon that has touched hearts and lives worldwide.Over the past couple of years, Batman has cropped up in some unusual places. In 2012, the Route 29 Batman, Lenny B. Robinson, was pulled over for having Batman tags – and not real tags – on his black Lamborghini Batmobile. This story made national news.This story made more headlines when the world found out that Robinson was spending his time and money to dress head-to-toe and be Batman for sick kids."
