How do you get a star on Hollywood鈥檚 Walk of Fame?

Batman just got one - how much did he have to pay?

More than 2,700 stars are embedded into the pavement on the Hollywood Boulevard and Vine Street, in Los Angeles in the US.

Marilyn Monroe, Zac Efron, Scarlett Johansson, Ludacris and (just very recently) Batman are all part of the Walk of Fame. Thousands of tourists visit it daily, but there have been questions about who is and isn鈥檛 included and if this star-studded road is diverse enough.
