Superhero Bits: The Batman Blu-Ray Release Date May Have Surfaced, New Pics Of No Way Home's Spider-Men, & More

(Superhero Bits is a collection of stories, updates, and videos about anything and everything inspired by the comics of Marvel, DC, and more. For comic book movies, TV shows, merchandise, events, and whatever catches our eye, this is the place to find anything that falls through the cracks.)

In this edition of Superhero Bits:

• Official pictures of the Spider-Men from "No Way Home."

• Previous Catwoman stars rally around Zoe Kravitz.

• "The Batman" Blu-ray release date may have already been revealed.

• The CW's "Gotham Knights" TV show has cast its leads.

• All that and more!

The Arrowverse is looking to expand with a new show from the writers of "Batwoman" titled "Gotham Knights." When the show was first announced, it was assumed that this would revolve around members of the Bat-family such as Batgirl, Nightwing, and Robin, much like the upcoming video game of the same name. Now, as Variety reports, we know that isn't seemingly going to be the case. Fallon Smythe and Tyler DiChiara has been cast as the series leads, starring as Harper Row and Cullen Row, respectively. These are not, as many had guessed, marquee characters connected to Bruce Wayne, making for an interesting choice. Harper is said to be bisexual and Cullen is transgender, which is certainly of note. The outlet also provides a new plot synopsis, which reads as follows:

The one-hour drama takes place in the wake of Bruce Wayne's murder. His rebellious adopted son forges an unlikely alliance with the children of Batman's enemies when they are all framed for killing the Caped Crusader. And as the city's most wanted criminals, this renegade band of misfits must fight to clear their names. But in a Gotham with no Dark Knight to protect it, the city descends into the most dangerous it's ever been. However, hope comes from the most unexpected of places as this team of mismatched fugitives will become its next generation of saviors known as the Gotham Knights.

With big-name characters off the table, it will be interesting to see if this show can generate enough juice to make the series work in the long run.

The fine folks at Iron Studios have revealed a brand new statue based on Robert Pattinson's title character in "The Batman." As the above image showcases, this is a bit of impressive work, capturing Battinson's likeness in 1/10 scale form. The statue is priced at $159.99 and is set to arrive sometime in the fourth quarter of this year. 

Recently, "The Batman" star Zoe Kravitz, who serves as our new Catwoman, posted an image of herself drinking milk like a cat on Instagram. This got the attention of a couple of other actresses who played the part in the past, including Michelle Pfeiffer, who played the part in "Batman Returns," as well as Halle Berry, who starred in the 2004 solo "Catwoman" movie. It seems that Kravitz was delighted by having the support of the former Selina Kyles, and it all makes for a nice moment as a new era of the Bat-verse begins.

"The Batman" may have only arrived in theaters this past weekend, making a killing at the box office along the way, but we may already know when lovers of physical media can get their hands on the Blu-ray — or at least roughly when we can expect it on shelves. Retailer Zavvi has a listing up currently for the physical release that says the movie will arrive on June 13, 2022. Note that this is a retailer based in the U.K. and that Warner Bros. has yet to confirm that date. That said, with the movie expected to be on HBO Max in mid-April after the 45-day exclusive theatrical window is up, June doesn't seem like a bad bet. Something to keep an eye on.
