Mumbai, January 26 - As Batman fans around the world are eagerly waiting for the upcoming Robert Pattinson-fronted "The Batman" movie, it has been revealed that this DC superhero movie is going to be the longest film in the history of the Batman franchise.

As revealed earlier, the version of "The Batman" fans will be seeing in theaters is 2 hours 55 minutes long, making it the second-longest superhero movie ever (excluding Zack Snyder cut of Justice League). However, what fans don't know is the original run time of this Warner Bros. movie was much higher than the final nearly 3 hours cut.



According to The Hollywood Reporter (via IGN), the early test screenings of The Batman clocked in at a whopping four hours long, which would have made it the longest superhero movie, excluding "Justice League" Snyder Cut, which was released on HBO Max with a runtime of 4 hours 2 minutes.

Meanwhile, even with nearly 3 hours of theatrical run time, "The Batman", directed by Matt Reeves, is still the longest Batman movie ever made, outpacing Christopher Nolan's Dark Knight trilogy, Tim Burton's Batman, and Batman Returns, and Joel Schumacher's Batman Forever.

The upcoming Batman movie, due on March 4, is touted to be the finest in the franchise. It stars Robert Pattinson as Bruce Wayne/Batman alongside Zoë Kravitz as Catwoman, Paul Dano, Jeffrey Wright, John Turturro, Peter Sarsgaard, Andy Serkis, and Colin Farrell in key roles.

In India, "The Batman" will release in English, Hindi, Tamil, and Telugu on March 4.
