Global star Robert Pattinson starrer ‘The Batman’ movie is said to be a film of two hours and 55 minutes.
As such, it’s the longest-running time of any solo Batman pic and one of the longest for a theatrical superhero movie, behind rival Marvel’s Avengers: Endgame, which ran three hours and one minute on its way to becoming the No. 2 top-grossing film of all time at the global box office, not adjusted for inflation.
Overall, the record holder for longest superhero pic is Zack Snyder’s Justice League at four hours and two minutes, although the director’s cut never played in cinemas. (The version released on the big screen was a tidy two hours.)

The Batman, from Warner Bros. and DC, stars Robert Pattinson as the Caped Crusader. The upcoming movie, which flies into theaters March 4, centers on Bruce Wayne’s earlier days of fighting crime. The film is full of Batman’s rogues’ gallery, so it is bound to be complex. Paul Dano plays the Riddler, a serial killer pursued by Batman, while Zoë Kravitz plays Catwoman and Colin Farrell appears as the Penguin.
A number of fan sites have been discussing the running time, which was revealed as a result of the movie receiving a PG-13 rating. (Studios must deliver a locked cut of the film to the rating board.)
A slew of recent movies has a running time longer than two hours and 30 minutes, which automatically shaves off one show a day. One exception is Sony and Marvel’s blockbuster Spider-Man: No Way Home (2:28) — if only by a slim margin. In regards to The Batman, Warners will be able to make up the difference by putting the film on more screens.
