Batman is one of the studio’s most important and lucrative franchises. The film series has brought in more than $5 billion at the global box office going back to 1989’s “Batman,” according to Comscore. Pattinson will be the latest to join the ranks of other famous actors like Michael Keaton, Christian Bale and Ben Affleck who have wore the cowl.
Warner Bros. has taken some of DC Entertainment’s most beloved characters in a new direction focusing on more personal, and even adult-oriented stories. “The Batman” looks to be the latest film to follow this trend.
The studio’s new strategy worked to great success last year when “Joker,” an R-rated take on Batman’s greatest foe, broke box office records and won an Academy Award for Joaquin Phoenix, who played the Clown Prince of Crime.
“The Batman” was originally set to hit theaters on June 25, 2021, but was pushed back because of the coronavirus pandemic impacting its production.
The highly anticipated film is now set to hit theaters just in time for Halloween on October 1, 2021.
