Warner Bros. has announced that The Batman is returning to select theaters for one night only which is tied to a special fan event for the upcoming The Penguin series which gets released on Max in September.
The details include The Batman flies back into select AMC theaters around the globe for one special night—in the U.S. on Wednesday, August 28 and internationally on a select date on or near the 28th—in celebration of the upcoming debut of the HBO Original series The Penguin.
At the screening, fans will not only revisit Gotham City with Robert Pattinson as Batman, but they will get a free poster and be the first to see an exclusive behind-the-scenes look at the making of The Penguin, with insights from series star Colin Farrell, executive producers Matt Reeves, Dylan Clark, Lauren LeFranc, who also writes and serves as showrunner, and Craig Zobel, who also directed the first three episodes.

The announcement was made today by Jeff Goldstein, President, Domestic Distribution and Andrew Cripps, President, International Distribution, Warner Bros. Pictures, who stated, “The Batman was a massive hit around the world when we released it in 2022, and we’re excited to be able to bring it back to theaters in partnership with our friends at AMC and Dolby, giving audiences a chance to see it again on the big screen as they gear up for more of Colin Farrell’s terrific performance as The Penguin.”
Reeves’ powerful new vision of the globally iconic DC Super Hero was both a critical and commercial success, as the blockbuster The Batman grossed over $772 million at the worldwide box office in its initial theatrical run in the first quarter of 2022. Oz/The Penguin, portrayed by Farrell in the film, became an immediate fan favorite and, with the actor on board, Reeves turned to showrunner Lauren LeFrancto develop a limited series.
The Penguin, an eight-episode HBO Original limited series from Warner Bros. Television and DC Studios, will debut on September 19, 2024 on HBO and will be available to stream on Max.
Domestically, the Studio is partnering exclusively with AMC and Dolby on 100 Dolby Cinema at AMC screens across the U.S.
Internationally, the film will be available in Dolby Cinema and Dolby Atmos in theaters across The UK, France, Spain, Saudi Arabia, Sweden, and South Korea. Audiences will receive a mini-poster featuring exclusive new art, while supplies last.
Tickets are now on sale.
