“The Batman” is a superhero film based on the iconic DC character of the same name, directed by Matt Reeves. Released on March 4, 2022, “The Batman” centers on the superhero’s early years as a vigilante detective investigating a series of gruesome murders orchestrated by the infamous villain, The Riddler. With its grittier and darker portrayal of the iconic superhero and Robert Pattinson’s impressionable performance in the lead role, “The Batman” generated significant buzz both from longtime fans of the franchise and newcomers.
“The Batman” is available to stream on Max and Netflix US in Canada. However, due to licensing agreements and geo-restrictions that limit their availability only to the US, accessing these platforms in Canada would require a VPN subscription.
You can also buy or rent “The Batman” digitally on video-on-demand (VOD) platforms like Apple TV, Microsoft Store, Cineplex Store, and Prime Video.
