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.

Have you managed to see The Batman yet? You can check out our review here.

"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.

@PhoenixBlade - Is it not? I may not have kept a close enough eye on all the posters!

@RorMachine - It’s the same as the thumbnail you’ve used, no? I may be missing something, but it’s just this poster which came out awhile back.

Same image was used in a different poster.

@CaptainSavaHoe - I just got out about 20 min ago and honestly, I thought it was just alright. I felt the length of the movie for sure, and this is coming from someone who loved Dune and Blade Runner, so I’m not against long movies. I can’t put my finger on it, but I’m not liking it as much as I thought I would. But it’s all good! Still a solid movie

Just saw it, it was absolutely amazing, probably the best physically characterized Batman ever.

A [frick]ing masterpiece and a masterclass direction from Matt Reeves.

Best Batman movie for me, and I want more of Reeves Gotham,gimme HBOMAX spinoffs, movies, videogames whatever just give it to me lol


love the fact that Arkham Asylum is already full of villains, which means that we might be able to see more variated galore of villains in the future, that brief tease was great and kept me thinking about the possibilities.

I gotta feeling Rob's Bruce Wayne will be a bit divisive (altho I liked it for the approach they were going with him) seems they gonna take their time to develope him which im fine with, but others may not be so kind to it (going by me theaters reaction). His Batman is a thing of beauty tho, seriously what a fantastic Batman he is, fell in love with it from the get go, mofo even has a sense of humor now which reminded me of BTAS Batsy dry humor lol, he's finally a [frick]ing DETECTIVE in his [frick]ing movie man, I was giddy everytime Riddler or Gordon called him that, is just the little details that I truly appreciate.

Movie felt like BTAS and Se7en made love and had a children to me, cinematography was a delight and embodies Gotham like never before, Gotham's finally a character in a movie unlike previous incarnations which was just background and she's suffering and by the end of the movie i really wanted Batman/Bruce to save her, it made me believe that he could do it. Gotham's PD is finally competent, loved how Batsy rubbed them the wrong way lol i always wanted to see that relationship between Bats and GPD, how they work together at the end was just top notch!

Riddler was terrifically nerve-wracking, Catwoman was tremendous and Gordon just so fresh, Penguin was so damn good but is the formers who took the crown for me, what a great [frick]ing casting.


Give me more Reeves, but make sure to add a bit of Robin to it.

Just out of the movie. So many thoughts. Quick thoughts:

-Pattinson is the best Batman by far
-This was like an Arkham video game level
-Reeves definitely played the Telltale games
-You could’ve cut 14 minutes
-Batmobile was AMAZING
-That jail tease felt studio mandated idk why
Spidey91
Spidey91 - 3/3/2022, 10:52 PM
@BlackBeltJones - dude, the Batmobile didn't even sound like a car when it first showed up, it sounded ANGRY.
GhostDog
GhostDog - 3/3/2022, 10:57 PM
@Spidey91 - reminded me of Mad Max’s Pursuit Special. A BEAST of a vehicle

@BlackBeltJones - I agree with all of that but still, I liked the prison scene☺️
GhostDog
GhostDog - 3/3/2022, 11:23 PM
@Kadara - something about it felt like a late add in. Also, not a fan of his laugh and feel like we could hold off on introducing you know who for a while
Kadara
Kadara - 3/3/2022, 11:31 PM
@BlackBeltJones - I'm totally with you on that one, without going into spoilers. Maybe something that should've been part of post credit scene but they figured after three hours, most people won't stay for that long lol!

@BlackBeltJones - all of these were my exact thoughts. I doubt Reeves will use the Joker in a big way, if at all
Desrow
Desrow - 3/4/2022, 12:04 AM
@BlackBeltJones - The Batmobile ... you actually can feel it in your chest, impressive.
GhostDog
GhostDog - 3/4/2022, 7:07 AM
@Dredd97 - I feel like he’s aware enough to know to keep the joker as a wild card for down the line and not too soon
Dredd97
Dredd97 - 3/4/2022, 12:22 PM
@BlackBeltJones - exactly. You can tell Reeves is definitely a fan of the lore

I'd say that because the movie was originally set for release last year that prep work for the home release was also probably well under way. If the movie had of released at it's original date then the movie probably would've already had a home release by now. So I don't think its any surprise that they already have cover art set and ready to go.

To be honest though, I think I prefer this artwork - which was apparently leaked but may just end up being fan art as no source has been credited... https://twitter.com/Lunchbox09/status/1499466802144825345/photo/1

The Batman was a good film...but not great. It slogged along at various places and the character that Patinson plays may call himself Batman but in many ways he bears no resemblance to the traditional Batman.
GhostDog
GhostDog - 3/3/2022, 10:34 PM
Pattinson is the ant Batman by a country mile. The way he moves when I’m the suit is chef’s kiss. There’s was a relentless to him that was refreshing to see in Batman.

Pattinson da GOD!! HOLY SHIT what a picture. I'll need to see it a few more times, but that opening sequence alone is the best Batman movie ever put to screen
