Batman Arkham City Calendar Man Dates: Complete Date Guide

Unlocking the Story Teller achievement in Batman: Arkham City requires players to visit Julian Day, better known as Calendar Man, on twelve specific holidays throughout the year. Locked inside a cell beneath the Solomon Wayne Courthouse, Calendar Man offers unsettling dialogue detailing his past crimes whenever players visit him on designated dates. Understanding how to trigger these interactions efficiently allows players to complete this memorable objective without waiting an entire real-world calendar year.

Locating Calendar Man in Solomon Wayne Courthouse

To begin tracking Calendar Man's holiday encounters, players must enter the Solomon Wayne Courthouse located in the Park Row district. The safest entry point is through the back door, which leads directly to the basement holding cell. Interacting with the glass cell allows Batman to listen to Calendar Man recount a unique story associated with the current date.

The Twelve Essential Calendar Man Dates

Calendar Man recognizes twelve major holidays, including New Year's Day, Valentine's Day, St. Patrick's Day, and April Fool's Day. The sequence continues with Mother's Day, Father's Day, Independence Day, the Feast Day of St. Roch, Labor Day, Halloween, Thanksgiving, and Christmas. Beside his cell, a calendar hangs on the wall, displaying the required dates and marking off each visit as you complete them.

How to Time Travel and Fast Track Progress

Players aiming to earn the trophy quickly can manipulate their system clock rather than waiting for real-world holidays to arrive. Disconnecting your gaming platform from the internet prevents automatic time synchronization and allows manual adjustments. After speaking with Calendar Man on a given date, step outside the courthouse so the autosave feature registers your visit before advancing to the next date.

Troubleshooting Date Glitches and Easter Eggs

Certain modern console systems or leap years can occasionally cause Calendar Man to recite dialogue for the wrong holiday. Setting your console year back to 2011, the original release year of Batman: Arkham City, resolves most date registration issues. Changing your system date to December 13, 2004, unlocks a special secret message where Calendar Man cryptically foreshadows Batman's eventual fate.
