THE BATMAN – Available on HBO Max Next Week!
That headline isn’t a joke. Warner Bros. is not dragging its feet when it comes to releasing Matt Reeves’ The Batman on HBO Max. The movie will be available to watch on the streaming service on April 18th.
The movie was still in the Top Five for this past weekend, adding an additional 6.5 million to its $358+ million domestic haul.
What’s even crazier is that on top of becoming available on April 18th, The Batman will be airing on HBO on Saturday, April 23 at 8 PM ET.
A quick film synopsis:
When the Riddler, a sadistic serial killer, begins murdering key political figures in Gotham, Batman is forced to investigate the city’s hidden corruption and question his family’s involvement.
It is an interesting move. Bringing a film that still has a strong interest in the theater onto their streaming service before the theater run has concluded. Strike when the iron is hot I suppose?
HBO Max will be the home of all things Batman soon enough however as there has been a straight-to-series order for the spinoff series The Penguin starring Colin Farrell reprising his role from the film.
The Batman will also be released on 4K UHD, Blu-ray, and DVD on May 24.

It has also been announced that The Batman will be available with “Filmmaker Mode”, which means:
“Developed by studios, TV manufacturers and some of Hollywood’s leading directors, Filmmaker Mode disables all post processing (e.g. motion smoothing), preserves the correct aspect ratios, colors and frame rates, and enables your TV to display the film precisely as it was intended by the filmmaker. Filmmaker Mode is available on televisions from select manufacturers.”
So to wrap up, The Batman will be available on Digital and HBO Max on April 18 and on 4K UHD, Blu-ray, and DVD on May 24.
