In 2019, Batman, DC's iconic superhero, became the first to be initiated into the Comic-Con Museum Character Hall of Fame. Open all year round, the Museum honors the iconic characters who have made such an impact on popular culture over time.
As of 2025, hall of fame inductees also include PAC-MAN, Wonder Woman, and last year’s addition, Spider-Man.
