WarnerMedia CEO Jason Kilar revealed Monday that Robert Pattinson's DC movie "The Batman" will be made available for streaming 46 days after its theatrical premiere.

"Think about when movies would show up on HBO, which is eight to nine months after theatrical premiere. The Batman is going to show up on day 46 on HBO Max. That is a huge change from where things were in 2018, 2017, and 2016," Kilar told Vox's Recode.

"I feel really, really good knowing that 'The Batman', 'Black Adam', 'The Flash', and 'Elvis', and a whole host of other movies, are literally going to be showing up on day 46 on HBO Max in a variety of territories all over the world," he added.

"The Batman" hits theaters on March 4, 2022, which means it will hit HBO Max on April 19.

The movie, which focuses on the second year of Wayne’s tenure as the Dark Knight, was scheduled to be released in June 2021 but was delayed several times due to the novel coronavirus pandemic.

“The Batman” also stars Paul Dano as the Riddler, Zoë Kravitz as Catwoman, and Colin Farrell as the Penguin.

The movie also features Andy Serkis as Batman/Bruce Wayne's loyal butler, Alfred, Geoffrey Wright as Commissioner Gordon while Peter Sarsgaard, John Turturro, and Jeffrey Wright round out the cast.

It is produced by DC Films and distributed by Warner Bros. Pictures. Director Matt Reeves helmed the movie from a script he co-wrote alongside Peter Craig.
