We often get a glimpse of a movie's steelbook artwork shortly after its release, but it's rare to see it before it even hits theaters!
The Batman IMAX screenings took place last night and there are midnight showings happening in several regions over the next few hours, but Matt Reeves' reboot doesn't officially fly into theaters until Friday. Now, a first look at the critically-acclaimed DC movie's 4K Ultra HD steelbook cover has been revealed, and it features some awesome new art of Robert Pattison's take on Gotham's Caped Crusader.
The cover art may be subject to change at such an early stage and no release date has been confirmed, but the steelbook is tentatively scheduled to hit shelves this June.

"Two years of stalking the streets as the Batman (Robert Pattinson), striking fear into the hearts of criminals, has led Bruce Wayne deep into the shadows of Gotham City. With only a few trusted allies — Alfred Pennyworth (Andy Serkis), Lt. James Gordon (Jeffrey Wright) — amongst the city’s corrupt network of officials and high-profile figures, the lone vigilante has established himself as the sole embodiment of vengeance amongst his fellow citizens."
“When a killer targets Gotham’s elite with a series of sadistic machinations, a trail of cryptic clues sends the World’s Greatest Detective on an investigation into the underworld, where he encounters such characters as Selina Kyle/aka Catwoman (Zoë Kravitz), Oswald Cobblepot/aka the Penguin (Colin Farrell), Carmine Falcone (John Turturro), and Edward Nashton/aka the Riddler (Paul Dano). As the evidence begins to lead closer to home and the scale of the perpetrator’s plans becomes clear, Batman must forge new relationships, unmask the culprit, and bring justice to the abuse of power and corruption that has long plagued Gotham City.”
The Batman is rated PG-13 for “strong violence, disturbing content, drug content, strong language, and some suggestive material.” The movie is set to hit theaters on March 4.
