HBOMax officially shared the car chase scene from The Batman – probably my favourite car chase in a very very long time.

23 April 2022

This update is for Australian followers. Universal confirmed to me that the following special features will be included in the Australian release of The Batman steelbook to be released on 1 June 2022 which at the moment is exclusive for pre-order at JB Hi-Fi

Vengeance In The Making
Vengeance Meets Justice
The Batman: Genesis
Becoming Catwoman

Anatomy of The Car Chase
Anatomy of The Wingsuit
A Transformation: The Penguin
The Batmobile
Unpacking The Icons
Deleted Scenes with Director’s Commentary

Roadshow has also put together where you can watch The Batman at home (click on the link to access each option)

Comicbook.com drew our attention to this clip which has apparently gone viral. This was from a behind the scenes shared on HBOMax. Hopefully these HBO BTS’s make the 4K|Steelbook versions.

As you can see, Robert Pattinson used the Utility Belt on his Batman costume as a storage pouch for his Juul vape pen! The days were long shooting this film (even the final runtime was about three hours!) and as a smoker, Pattinson made efficient use of his Utility Belt by pulling this move. It’s a hilarious little anecdotal detail – the exact sort that will help cement Robert Pattinson’s legacy as Batman. 

I forgot to post this yesterday in all the hype. It’s no doubt an extract from a longer interview posted during promo, but I thought I would share again just in case. Anyway listening to Rob talk about how he crafts his characters is always a bonus.

Update: 18 April 2022

WHAT TIME DOES THE BATMAN COME OUT ON HBO MAX?

The Batman will begin streaming on HBO Max on Monday, April 18 at 12:01 a.m PT or 3:01 a.m. ET. If the clock strikes midnight on the west coast and you don’t yet see The Batman on HBO Max, try refreshing the page, or logging out and logging back in again.

WHERE ELSE CAN I WATCH THE BATMAN?

If you don’t have an HBO Max subscription, then, beginning on April 18, you can buy The Batman on digital via something Warner Bros. is calling “early Premium Digital Ownership,” which basically means you’ll have to pay extra. The Batman will cost $29.99 to buy, and $24.99 to rent for 48 hours, on digital platforms like Amazon Prime, iTunes, Vudu, and Google Play.

In addition, The Batman will be available on 4K, Blu-ray, and DVD on May 24, 2022. Now go get some vengeance!
