The studio will be re-releasing Tim Burton&#8217;s Batman, Batman: Mask of the Phantasm, and The LEGO Batman Movie at participating AMC, Cinemark, and Regal theaters.

According to listings, Batman will play on September 18, Mask of the Phantasm will screen on September 19, and The LEGO Batman Movie will be shown on September 20. In the past, theaters have shown Christopher Nolan&#8217;s Dark Knight trilogy during this period, but that doesn&#8217;t appear to be the case this year. Instead, TNT will be airing the trilogy on TV on September 19, and of course, they&#8217;ll also be available to stream on HBO Max.<\/p>\n<div class=\"jsx-2896921488 video jsx-2008855984 aspect-ratio aspect-ratio-16-9\">\n<div class=\"badge jsx-1349606671 jsx-3647116352\"><span class=\"ign-icon icon-play jsx-2750866048 jsx-1044454891\" role=\"img\" aria-hidden=\"false\" data-cy=\"icon-play\" aria-label=\"Play\" style=\"mask:url(https:\/\/kraken.ignimgs.com\/_next\/static\/media\/Play.59e5540b.svg?cors=1) no-repeat center center \/ contain;background:currentColor\"><\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p data-cy=\"paragraph\" class=\"paragraph jsx-2269604527\">While most fans have likely seen Burton&#8217;s Batman at some point in their lives, it&#8217;s worth seeing big and loud in a movie theater, if given the opportunity.
