now if 30 days have September
Batman but how I hadn’t even begun my
new holiday crime spree as with most
comic book characters they’re often
reimagine ations and different versions
to a character’s past we have chosen to
primarily follow the storyline which
unfolded in 1958 Detective Comics number
259 which was expanded upon in 1997 s
Batman the long Halloween number three
and 2000’s 80-page giant Batman
March 17th the day set aside for Saint
Patrick the time was ripe for calendar
man when he debuted in 1958
like so many super villains he was
determined to both make his fortune and
make a fool of Batman and he planned to
do so by committing crimes related to
the seasons but rather than focus on
just the traditional four seasons spring
summer autumn and winter he included a
special fifth season this was a hidden
clue to his true identity which he
foolishly believed that Batman would not
be able to decipher in his debut story
Calendar man even sported a different
costume for each of his seasonal crimes
the fifth costume turned out to be the
one he wore as part of his day job as a
magician Batman realized that the fifth
season was a reference to monsoon season
in India he deduced the calendar man had
to have a South Asian connection his
stage name Maharaja not much was learned
about the calendar man’s background in
that story or from his next appearance
20 years later although the latter story
did provide him with a colorful costume
lots to send next killer robot to
leprechauns angry pilgrims ha
mutant Easter bunnies Easter bunnies
really what’s wrong with bunnies by the
time of the Batman the long Halloween
mini-series in 1997 the calendar man had
started getting fleshed out a bit more
set during the early days of Batman’s
career the series detailed Batman’s hunt
for a killer who used holidays as the
theme for his murders in order to catch
him Batman visited the calendar man in
Arkham Asylum trying to get insight into
the holiday killer’s mind along the way
readers learned that calendar man’s real
name is Julian Gregory day his first and
middle name referring to the Julian and
Gregorian calendar in 2000 leaders got
to know a little more about day
according to his defense attorney day
suffered from a compulsive mania
connected to the calendar and his mental
disorder drove him to commit crimes his
reaction when he was told that he would
spend the turnover to a new millennium
in jail confirmed his lawyers analysis
of his mental state matters were
worsened when des was sentenced to spend
time in a bizarre form of solitary
confinement one in which he was robbed
of the ability to know night from day
this sent him completely over the edge
and made him into a maniacal dangerous
criminal the calendar man has never
really been one of Batman’s top tier
foes but he has become a more darker and
more threatening villain as his career
has lengthened while he doesn’t have the
exposure of the Joker or Catwoman he has
made some appearances on TV and in video
games
he’s probably just counting the days
until the right starring vehicle comes
along will you help me give thanks this
