WB and DC Comics' celebration of Batman day is in full-swing and even the director of the highly-anticipated reboot of the Caped Crusader took some time out from filming to celebrate on social media.

Robert Pattinson's scary COVID-19 diagnosis led to a brief delay after The Batman resumed filming from a lengthier pause but the cameras have resumed rolling at Leavesden Studios (just outside of London) after just two weeks.

As such, it's fair to say that director Matt Reeves is incredibly busy but he still took some time out from shooting to celebrate the Caped Crusader's day with a new promo poster, commissioned by Bill Sienkiewicz.

Sienkiewicz is known for his Marvel work (particularly New Mutants, Moon Knight and Elektra) but even he got in on the chance to celebrate a day devoted to the World's Greatest Detective. Check out his promo poster below.

The first Batman Day was christened at San Diego Comic-Con on on July 23, 2014 during a celebration of the character's 75th Anniversary. In 2015, the celebration was held again in June before the global holiday was moved to September in 2016.

The Batman is currently scheduled for release on  October 1, 2021. WB and DC Entertainment also have a tie-in HBO Max series in development that will focus on the history of Gotham City before the events in the film occur. The Batman has been confirmed to kick off a new trilogy with Pattinson signing a three-picture deal.

Bill Sienkiewicz is a hell of an artist, he needs an exposition of his work.

Dope

Been a while since I've seen a Sienkiewicz piece out in the wild

I'll say, as much as I don't like the 'rookie Batman' angle he chose, I'm absolutely loving how much of the stuff Reeves post seems to capture the exact spirit of comic Batman that none of the movies have touched on. All the imagery seems like he's aiming to hit the perfect pitch

Is there a textless version? That'd make a pretty wild background.

Still getting use to all of the red. It just feels so unnatural. It does give me hope that Robin is around the corner though.

Matt Reeves really seems to get Batman. The trailer was just astounding. Such a great trailer. Plus these art work shares are so spot on. The dude is confident in his take and it shines through.

Just watched Pattinson absolutely crush it in The Devil All the Time last night. Pretty much everyone was great in that, you gotta be in the mood to watch something pretty dark and depressing but what a movie. Refreshing to see something good and original from Netflix. Im glad he recovered from Covid, The Batman can’t come soon enough.

@RolandD - You're right, next time I'll hire Bill Sienkiewicz to create a poster for the Batman movie I'm dire-oh, wait. 🤷🏻‍♂️😂

@JoshWilding - No, all you have to do is post something positive about Batman instead of the times The Batman beat Superman, but you keep on being you. At least it gives us something to comment on.
