What’s Coming to Streaming, Including ‘Batman,’ ‘The White Darkness,’ ‘Percy Jackson’

“The Batman” was a worldwide success at the box office when it hit theaters earlier this year, and now we know when it’s coming to HBO Max. Starring Robert Pattinson and Zoë Kravitz, the film will stream on April 18, then will get a linear debut on HBO on April 23. Co-written and directed by Matt Reeves, the moody superhero noir film has made nearly $735 million internationally and is at the center of a new Batman franchise: Colin Farrell will headline a limited series revolving around his Penguin character.
