On 10.13.21 we reported, based on test-screenings, that Matt Reeves’ “The Batman” will be close to three hours long. We can now confirm that will indeed be the case, according to Variety.
At 167 minutes without credits, “The Batman” is set to be one of the longest comic book movies ever released in theatres. Only “Avengers: Endgame” (181 minutes) ran longer and that’s with the addition of closing credits.
Once all is said and done, “The Batman” will probably have an official runtime of 175-180 with closing credits. That is one hell of an ambitious superhero movie.
In case, you missed them, you can click on the previously posted first, second, third and fourth test-screening reactions we published of “The Batman.”
The film is set to be released in theatres on March 4th.
EDIT: The film’s producer now has Reeves’ film clocking in at 175 minutes WITH closing credits.
