The Batman15

Directed by Matt Reeves | USA | 2021 | 2h 56m | Starring Robert Pattinson, Zoë Kravitz, Jeffrey Wright, Colin Farrell, Paul Dano, Andy Serkis

Batman ventures into Gotham City’s underworld on the hunt for a sadistic serial killer who is murdering politicians and leaving behind cryptic clues. Robert Pattinson delivers a brooding performance as the Caped Crusader in this gritty reimagining of The Batman story told as a sprawling and noir-ish detective mystery.

Reviews

‘The two stars generate an astonishing sensual charge in a brilliant addition to the Batman canon that refuses to behave like a blockbuster’
★★★★★
Robbie Collins, The Telegraph

‘Matt Reeves’s take on the Caped Crusader…delivers a tapered-down, intimate portrait, while Zoe Kravitz’s Catwoman brings an almost-extinct sensuality to the role’
★★★★
Clarisse Loughery, The Independent

Our beautiful art deco inspired auditorium can be found just off East Oxford's Cowley Road.We are open 7 days a week. We open the cinema and box office 30 minutes before the scheduled start time of each film, and the Box Office then closes 10 minutes after the film starts. We only show a few adverts – less than most cinemas – and we only play a couple of trailers, so please don’t be late as the film itself starts very close to the advertised time!
