Over the weekend I threw my son a Batman birthday party. The first thing I did when he told me his theme, was to head on over to Tip Junkie and search for “batman” and “superhero“. I hit the mother-load and decided to make the games correspond with a Superhero Academy theme.
Print Free File: Batman Birthday Party Invitation, Blank Printable Batman Party Invitation
Here is Drake’s Batman Birthday Party Invitation that I made in Microsoft Publisher. I printed each one on cardstock and then glued it to 5×7 blue paper to polish it off. I’ve attached my version (as an example) as well as a fill-in-the-blank one that is printer ready for you to use.
Print Free File: Batman & Superhero Academy Birthday Planner, Birthday Planner (fill-in-the-blank)
This is the birthday planner that I used to organize my son’s batman birthday party. I’ve also included the master birthday planner that is a fill-in-the-blank form for you to use for any at home birthday party.
- Look Like a Super Hero (Decorate Capes & Masks)
- Leap Buildings in a Single Bound (Trampoline or Obstacle Course)
- Beat the Batcave (Retrieve the Glow stick)
- Mighty Muscles (Lift Styrofoam weights – photo op)
- Vaporize the Villain (Silly string)
- Open Presents (Have box to put presents in & trash sack)
- Cake & Ice-cream (B-day song)
- Play toys Upstairs (batman cartoon in case)
- Hand Out Cookie medals, Graduation Certificates, Party Favors
(I did this in front of the parents as they were leaving so they didn’t get lost or broken.)
Tip: I have found that with small children it’s good to have the activities planned out in 10 minute increments. Any longer than that and they get bored and problems happen. 
It’s also good to allow some free play at the end of each party so they feel like it was also a play date.
For the table decor I found these popcorn containers at Garden Ridge pottery for $3 and used the party favor buckets to incorporate the batman theme.
Print Free File: Batman Cookie Medals
I made these cookie graduation medals for each child. I awarded it to them at then end of the party. I was old school and printed the batman circles onto cardstock and then hot glued the label onto the saran wrap onto the cookie. I checked it out afterward and the cookie wasn’t effected. {{just in case you were wondering}}
Print Free File: Batman Superhero Energy Fuel
Everyone needs to stay hydrated during the missions. So each person had their own Superhero Fuel. Tip: You can write each guests name on them before the party as they get mixed up easily.
(In the Batman Energy Fuel file I gave you my version with a 4 on it and then I also gave you a blank circle version where you can write in your child’s age.)
Print Free File: Batman_Superhero Snacks
The party favor buckets were so big I needed some filler. So I printed out the Superhero Snacks label on cardstock and filled it with sweet treats. You can use them during the party with healthier snacks or with their party favor like I did.
(In the Superhero Snacks file I gave you my version with a 4 on it and then I also gave you a blank circle version where you can write in your child’s age.)
Print Free File: Superhero Cape Monograms
Look Like a Superhero
Let’s get this party started! Once all the guests arrived we started out the party with Look like a Superhero. It’s important that every student in the Superhero Academy learns how to look like a Superhero. I made it really easy and had everything all cut out and ready to put on quickly.
How to Make the Superhero Cape:
- Black felt for the cape
- Used this superhero cape tutorial
- Sewed on black velcro to hold the cape together
- Yellow sticky back felt for the shape
- Glitter sticky back felt for their monogram
- Printed out the masks from Family Fun, stapled elastic on
I printed out all of these fabulous signs for the games from Designer Girl 007. I pasted them onto large blue poster board to make them bigger and really stand out. They set the tone for the party and helped it run smoothly.
Leaping Over Buildings in a Single Bound
You can do an obstacle course but since my guests were 4 years old, I decided to let them jump on the trampoline. They loved it and it helped to get their energy out first thing at the party. Tip: Take off their capes before they get on the trampoline – otherwise their stars and letters will start falling off.
Print Free File: Batman Villains
Vaporize a Villain
I made this really simple and hung several bad guys from the batman cartoon. With $1 Store silly string we counted down and all went to town vaporizing as many villains as possible. The kiddos loved it! You can also use water guns.
Mighty Muscles
So show off their strength I made these fake dumbbell and used it as a photo op for each kiddo. My camera was having problems focusing, but these pictures will be a perfect addition to the thank you note.
How to Make the Dumbbells:
You can pay $18 each for huge Styrofoam balls at Hobby Lobby. However, I’m way too cheap for that. I bought 2 large bouncy balls and a dowel rod. I used a thick washer and duct taped the washer and ball to the dowel rod. Lastly, I spray painted everything black.
Tip: Walmart had $3 foam balls that I wish I had used instead of the bouncy balls. They only stayed straight for 3 kids so it would have been better to have smaller balls but have the dowel rod stick into it so they stayed level.
Retrieve Kryptonight from the Batcave
I used our media room as the batcave and strung black crepe paper all over the place to make a web. Then I threw in glow sticks. The mission was for each child to retrieve two glow sticks (kryptonight) from the batcave. They got to keep the glow sticks and I put them into their party favor buckets.
Print Free File: Batman Logo
For the Superhero Party favors, I bought black buckets from the $1 store and mod podged a batman logo to the front of each one. I mod podged the “superhero academy” logo from Designer Girl 007 on the back of each one as well. To polish off the look I tied curly ribbon to one side of each bucket.
What was inside:
$1 Store buckets
Graduation Certificates
Bubbles
Silly String
$1 Store Batman Kites
Superhero Snacks
Superhero Energy Fuel water bottles (if they didn’t use theirs)
Kryptonight from the Batcave
$1 Store silly string (if they had any left)
You an print out the Graduation from Superhero Academy Certificates from Designer Girl 007. There were great filler for the buckets and each kiddo loved receiving it along with their cookie graduation medal. You can have this as a ceremony at the end of the party, or just give it to them as their parents come to pick them up.
This birthday party was inspired by these blogs:

What a SUPER party!! Great job!!!!!
what size labels did you use for the water bottles?
That is too cool! My son had a Superman Birthday for his birthday one year. This would have been so fun!
This is wonderful… my 2 year old loves batman & we are planning a party. This will be such a great help. I am already working on the capes. I was going to use the free printables, but it keeps telling me to log in or sign in… where do I do that at? My mom sent me to this site, so I have never been here before.
Danita – You shouldn’t have to login or anything. Everything on Executive Homemaker is free for the taking, no memberships or extra work required. Just mom’s helping moms for free.
I’m so sorry you’re having problems uploading the file. Thank you for letting me know because if you’re having problems, most likely someone else is too.
Do you have Adobe Acrobat installed on your computer? It’s a free software that lets people share files no matter what program they were made in. Here’s the link to install it: http://get.adobe.com/reader/
Let me know if this does not solve your problem – so I can look into if further.
Ok – I’ve fixed it. Apparently when I uploaded the files the default was “member only”. Now they’re available to everyone. Thank you so much for letting me know there was a problem.
You ROCK!
I love such parties ! Look so warm!
LOVE this! Planning my son’s batman party for May! =))
Okay. Confession. I am SO stealing the medal idea. That could be used for so many different types of party themes. Thanks for the inspiration.

OMG, that looks like it was such a fun party- first to plan, and then for the kids to enjoy too! I can’t wait for my 2 little guys to be a few yrs older and we are soooo going to use your AWSOME ideas! Way to go!!!

This is such a great party! I am throwing it this weekend for my 4 yr old twins and we cannot wait!
This is so awesome! My husband is a huge Batman fan and Me and some of his friends are doing a surprise Batman theme birthday party for him! I got lots of great ideas from here. Thanks!
You are my new SUPERHERO! I just did a Batman birthday party for my son a few months ago and really skimped on it due to lack of time and energy. You are such a blessing for sharing all these wonderful ideas and printable images to go with them! I will definitely be checking in before my next party
Hi there,
I was just wondering how to print off the invitations with my son’s name. When I open the link for the print free file it will not let me add in his bday information!
Can you please help me with this. I love this party idea!
Thank you!

Hi, I was wondering…with the medals…did you hot glue the fabric to the seran wrap as well?
Thanks!
Laurie
Yes, I did use the hot glue to attach it to the saran wrap. i was worried about it – but i just used a touch and it worked great.
Thank you for this site. Total life saver for my 4 year olds birthday party. Its so nice to be able to print something so crafty for free!
OMG the cape are too cute…..Where can I print out the letters for the capes? I only need letters N and F. Thanx
Love the invite! So cute! I’m trying to add in a name, but I don’t have the font you used. Could you link me or let me know the name? Thanks!
Kryonite is SUPERMAN’s weakness, not Batman’s!
What a fantastic superhero party! The capes are so cute! I’m going to make them for my son’s superhero birthday party guests. Thanks for the great idea! I found the templates for the letters, but I also need M, N, W and Z. Could you tell me where I can get those? Thanks again for your help!
I love you cape. But you don’t have all the letters I need. Where can I get the rest of the letters? For can you at least help me get letter “M”and “H”.
Thanks.
I am planning a batman party and would love to steal the bucket idea but I am having trouble finding plain black buckets. Any suggestions?
Fabulous party!
I am getting everything ready for my daughter’s 5th birthday this weekend and unfortunately all of the letters are not included in the cape monograms, including three that I need: G, M, N. Do you have those monogram templates that you could share?
Very cute. I have a batman bucket at home that I was looking at using (if I can find more) as party favor buckets for my sons birthday. I was googling them and that’s how I came across your page. I was wondering where you got them. The one I have cam from Target but it was months ago and they don’t have them anymore and the company who made them did not have any either.
Hey I love the cookie idea how did u print the batman circles can u send me the template
Gr8!! You really have wonderful ideas. Will try some of them. Thanks!

Thank you! Saved my life here!

Good Day!!!!
You are such an inspiration. Could you please tell how you made the Cookie Graduation Medals. I am planning my sons party for next weekend.
Rachelle Brancato
You can download and print the free cookie medal, wrap the cookie in saran wrap and hot glue ribbon to the saran wrap on the back of the cookie. Hope this helps
