The Batman will no longer hit theatres in 2021. In another major release calendar overhaul, Warner Bros has delayed the comic book adventure and a number of other movies, including The Flash and Shazam 2.
The Batman - starring Robert Pattinson as the Caped Crusader - had been scheduled for Oct 1, 2021. It's now set to open on March 4, 2022. As reported earlier, Denis Villeneuve's sci-fi epic Dune is no longer premiering on Dec 18 and will instead move to the Oct. 1, 2021 date previously held by The Batman.
