In celebration of Batman Day, Warner Bros. is re-releasing three fan-favorite Batman films in select theaters across the United States. The special event will feature showings of Tim Burton's 1989 "Batman," the animated "Batman: Mask of the Phantasm," and "The LEGO Batman Movie" at participating AMC, Cinemark, and Regal locations, as well as other chains.
The cinematic celebration kicks off on Friday, September 18, with one film screening each night throughout the weekend. "Batman" will be shown on September 18, followed by "Batman: Mask of the Phantasm" on September 19, and "The LEGO Batman Movie" on September 20. While Christopher Nolan's "The Dark Knight" trilogy has been featured in previous Batman Day events, this year's lineup focuses on these distinct entries.
Fans can catch Tim Burton's "Batman" on the big screen, an opportunity to revisit the gothic visuals of the 1989 blockbuster. "Batman: Mask of the Phantasm," originally released in the 1990s, received a limited theatrical run and is considered by many to be one of the best Batman films, making its big-screen return a significant event for enthusiasts. "The LEGO Batman Movie" offers a more recent, critically acclaimed animated take on the Caped Crusader.
For those interested in the wider Batman cinematic universe, "The Batman Part 2," starring Robert Pattinson, is currently in production and slated for a February 2027 release. Details regarding the plot and villains for the sequel remain under wraps, though rumors suggest Sebastian Stan may portray Harvey Dent/Two-Face.
