The Batman overcame any early misgivings over Robert Pattinson to become the biggest smash of the year to date, and now you can see what the frenzy was about if you missed it at the cinema.
Written and directed by Matt Reeves, the movie provides a unique approach to the legendary DC superhero as Pattinson’s Batman faces his most difficult challenge yet as The Riddler (Paul Dano) starts on a murdering spree against Gotham’s most powerful inhabitants.
The Batman has generated a massive $735 million at the box office to date and is still out in theatres globally. It is now starting to be available to view at home in select places, so if you fancy seeing it, we’re here to help.
How to Stream and Watch The Batman on Cable
Beginning April 18, The Batman will be available to stream exclusively on HBO Max and to purchase in 4K for $30 on Amazon Prime Video, iTunes, Google Play, Vudu, and YouTube.
If you have cable, The Batman will premiere on HBO on April 23 at 5 p.m. PT/8 p.m. ET.
HBO Max plans start at $10 per month (or $100 per year) for an ad-supported package and $15 per month (or $150 per year) for an ad-free subscription. Both subscriptions include hundreds of hours of HD programming, including further DC properties, several 2022 Academy Award-winning films such as King Richard and West Side Story, HBO originals such as Winning Time and Euphoria, and entertainment from Adult Swim, TCM, Cartoon Network, and Studio Ghibli.
Only the ad-free package, however, allows you to download material, watch certain movies in 4K HD, and watch Warner Bros. films on the same day they are released theatrically.
Although the streaming service does not provide a trial period, you may watch The Batman for free if you sign up for Hulu’s free seven-day trial, which includes HBO Max. After the first week, a subscription to Hulu’s base plan costs $7 per month plus the $15 per month HBO Max add-on fee.

The Batman: Trailer
Thankfully, Warner Bros. has been releasing a slew of excellent trailers for this film. It all began in August 2020 with the DCFanDome Teaser. Since then, we’ve added the main trailer, which clocks in at 2 minutes and 38 seconds in length. The most recent trailer, which was published in December, maybe the most intriguing of them all, as it depicts Catwoman and Batman’s growing love.
Thus far, this new film features an intriguing ensemble, a muscle car-inspired Batmobile, and a snazzy new Batsuit. While not everyone initially embraced the new cast, all of the trailers have been amazing. This new film features a slew of antagonists, an excellent storyline, and an excellent creative team. As March 4 approaches, brace yourselves for our next dose of the brilliant detective and pray that Warner Bros. does not disappoint us once more.
