Is ‘The Batman’ on HBO Max or Netflix? When Will ‘The Batman’ Be Streaming?

Another Batman movie may not be what the world needs right now, but perhaps it’s what we deserve. This time around, it’s Robert Pattinson‘s turn to put on the mask, for The Batman (2022), which is opening in theaters this weekend.

Directed by Matt Reeves, who also co-wrote the script with Peter Craig, this Batman movie promises to be dark, twisted, and serious. Zoe Kravitz stars alongside Pattinson as Catwoman, a thief and a night club waitress who crosses paths with the reclusive billionaire-turned-vigilante known as Bruce Wayne (Pattinson). But cat and bat must work together to come up against the sociopathic serial killer who calls himself The Riddler (played by Paul Dano).

Also starring Jeffrey Wright, John Turturro, Peter Sarsgaard, Andy Serkis, and Colin Farrell, this sure is another Batman movie. Read on to find out where to watch The Batman and when The Batman will be on HBO Max.

WHERE TO WATCH THE BATMAN 2022 MOVIE:

Right now, the only place to watch The Batman is in a movie theater when it opens on Friday, March 4. You can find a showing at a movie theater near you here. After 45 days in theaters, you will be able to stream The Batman on HBO Max. Read on for more details.

WILL THE BATMAN BE ON HBO MAX?

Yes—but The Batman will not be on HBO Max at the same time it opens in theaters, because HBO Max is not streaming theatrical movies in 2022.  Last year, Warner Bros. opted to simultaneously release its theatrical slate on streaming, meaning HBO Max subscribers could watch movies like Matrix Resurrections at home. This year, however, Warner Bros. theatrical movies will have a 45-day theaters-only run before moving to HBO Max.

WHEN WILL THE BATMAN BE STREAMING ON HBO MAX?

The Batman will be on HBO Max on Monday, April 18, 2022, and will air on HBO on Saturday, April 23 at 8/7c.

WILL THE BATMAN BE ON DIGITAL OR VOD?

Yes. After the movie’s theatrical run, The Batman will also be available to buy or rent on digital platforms like Amazon Prime, iTunes, Vudu, Google Play, and more, in addition to streaming on HBO Max.

IS THE BATMAN ON NETFLIX?

No. The Batman is not streaming on Netflix and likely will not be on Netflix any time soon, due to the fact that the film will have a streaming home on HBO Max. If you want to watch The Batman at home, you’ll have to watch it on HBO Max or purchase the movie on VOD in April.
