“Batman Was For Boys”: Woman Gets The Batman-Themed Birthday She Always Wanted, Praises Her BF For The Surprise

Even Superman fans will most likely agree that Batman is super awesome. With all of those cool gadgets, aesthetic costumes, the courage of a lion, cheesy vintage puns, and his vast intelligence, how can you not like him?

Batman is a badass superhero who inspires us all, no matter our gender, race, orientation, culture, or creed. However, some people think that Batman is ‘only for boys’ which has led to some unfortunate gatekeeping and the enforcement of gender stereotypes. Case in point, Maryland-based cosplayer Sparky Mularkey, who absolutely loves Batman, shared how back in the 90s she wasn’t allowed to have one because it wasn’t girly.

However, the story had an incredibly wholesome and happy ending: Sparky’s boyfriend threw a surprise Batman birthday party to celebrate her turning 32. And. He. Went. All. Out. Holy mackerel! Kapow! Take that, gendered superhero gatekeeping. Sparky, we’re honestly jealous of how good a human being your partner is.

In one of the most wholesome posts we’ve seen all year, cosplayer Sparky shared how her boyfriend threw her an awesome Batman-themed birthday party

The party took Sparky completely by surprise. It was something that she wanted ever since she was a little girl, but she was told that “Batman was for boys”

The party was more ‘Batman’ than the Batcave, full of vintage decorations and costumes that would make any geek squeal with joy

But all of that was just the tip of the iceberg… downstairs, Sparky’s BF had organized a Batman-themed carnival of epic proportions

The carnival games were extremely fun and had such hilarious names, I choked on the tea I was drinking

There was even a scavenger hunt! Who doesn’t like those?!

What followed next was a round of charades. All themed around Batman, of course

Sparky shared how she was completely exhausted from work and actually forgot all about her 32nd birthday (PS—that’s her favorite number!).

However, she was completely gobsmacked to discover that what was supposed to be a quiet dinner turned into a party with friends and vintage Batman decorations. Holy smokes, Batman, that’s just pure awesomeness.

They all dressed up and had so much fun, I’m secretly hoping that somebody throws me a superhero-themed party in the future as well. There was also an incredibly well-prepared Batman-themed carnival prepared for Sparky downstairs with some hilariously named activities.

Sparky told Newsweek that this isn’t the first time that her boyfriend organized a themed party for her. In earlier years, he’s made a Star Wars birthday party for her, however, it wasn’t at the same scale as the Batman carnival fiesta.

“This Batman birthday party was truly something special. He really knows how to go all out for parties! He told me that he spent WEEKS planning and preparing for this surprise party. I really have no idea how I never caught on!” she told Newsweek.

“I think my favorite part was the Joker Batarang challenge. This man built a Turntable of Justice!” she wrote on Twitter about the extent to which her boyfriend made her special day even more special. The green balloons were filled with ‘Joker gas,’ so you’d lose points if you hit them. He seriously went all out. He 3D printed different kinds of Batarangs. Even Nightwing ones! It was seriously so much fun! So much went into this party and I hadn’t realized just how much I needed to feel like a kid again. It seriously healed my soul. I am so lucky to have such a great man in my life who makes me feel like a hero. And now I know for sure, forever, that Batman is for everyone.”

People were awed by just how awesome the entire Batman project was! And we’re a little bit jealous of such awesome party
