Google's "Batman" Easter Egg

The Batman Easter egg was launched in February 2022, coinciding with the release of "The Batman" movie. It was designed as a fun, interactive surprise for fans. Users could discover it by searching for specific terms related to the Batman universe.

To activate the Easter egg, users needed to search for keywords like "Bruce Wayne," "Gotham City," or "Bat-Signal." Upon searching one of these terms, a yellow Bat-Signal icon would appear in the search results, typically on the left side of the screen next to the Knowledge Graph. Clicking this icon would trigger the animation.

The animation started by transforming the search page into a dark, stormy night scene with clouds and the Bat-Signal projected onto the sky. Shortly after, a grappling hook sound effect would play, and then Batman would swing across the screen using his grappling hook.

The Easter egg was well-received by fans and the media, generating excitement and buzz online. Many users shared videos and screenshots of the animation on social media platforms. It was seen as a creative way to promote the movie and engage with fans, without being sponsored by Warner Bros. The Easter egg was a unique tribute to the Batman franchise, showcasing Google's ability to create fun and engaging content within its search engine.

The Batman Easter egg was available for approximately one year, and it was removed around February 22, 2023. Google often removes Easter eggs after a certain period, and this one was no exception. Although the specific reason for its removal was not officially stated, it's common for Google to cycle through different Easter eggs to keep the experience fresh. The discontinuation of the Batman Easter egg was not met with any notable outcry, as users understood its limited-time nature.

This restored version by elgoog.im is a near-perfect visual and functional replica of the original, offering an identical experience. Furthermore, it includes enhancements in certain details and boasts excellent support for both light/dark themes and mobile access.
