While some titles are appearing in cinemas now, most notably Christopher Nolan's Tenet, there's still a lot of caution among studios over putting their productions into theatrical distribution.

Always a good opportunity to recognize the many sides of the Dark Knight's legacy, this year's Batman Day will be taking place on September 19th. In previous years, we've had the Bat-Signal lighting up various cities, as well as multiple tie-ins and other special promotions.
