DC fans put their money where their mouths are by immediately purchasing every ticket available for IMAX advance previews of The Batman. IMAX Fan First Premieres for The Batman are taking place on March 1st, with over 350 locations hosting special screenings ahead of the film’s March 4th premiere. The IMAX advance previews are taking place on the same day as The Batman’s New York premiere, and eager fans are taking the opportunity to see Robert Pattinson’s take on the Dark Knight a few days early. For as impressive as TV spots and trailers for the Matt Reeves-directed film have looked, one can only imagine how it will look in its full IMAX glory.
Two years of stalking the streets as the Batman, striking fear into the hearts of criminals, has led Bruce Wayne deep into the shadows of Gotham City. With only a few trusted allies – Alfred Pennyworth, Lt. James Gordon – amongst the city’s corrupt network of officials and high-profile figures, the lone vigilante has established himself as the sole embodiment of vengeance amongst his fellow citizens.
When a killer targets Gotham’s elite with a series of sadistic machinations, a trail of cryptic clues sends the World’s Greatest Detective on an investigation into the underworld, where he encounters such characters as Selina Kyle/aka Catwoman, Oswald Cobblepot/aka the Penguin, Carmine Falcone, and Edward Nashton/aka the Riddler. As the evidence begins to lead closer to home and the scale of the perpetrator’s plans becomes clear, Batman must forge new relationships, unmask the culprit, and bring justice to the abuse of power and corruption that has long plagued Gotham City.
