People are asking each other “what’s the word on The Batman?” (Warner Bros., 3.4). My response has been “other than looking like a close relation of Guillermo del Toro‘s Nightmare Alley except darker and grimmer, nothing…no word at all.”
The 176-minute action drama has been sneak-peeked to a select few, but the first significant nationwide screenings will happen two days hence — Thursday, 2.24 — with the review embargo lifting on Monday, 2.28 at 12 noon eastern. Hollywood Elsewhere gets to see it on the evening of Wednesday, 3.2, or one day before select theatres will begin showing it commercially.
