DC Confirms Runtime for "Batman: Knightfall Part 1" at 1:18:31

The Annecy festival listing signals a multi-part adaptation of the Bane-centered arc with the release date still unannounced.

Overview

DC Studios, via an Annecy Animation Festival entry Wednesday, confirmed a 1 hour, 18 minute, 31 second runtime for Batman: Knightfall Part 1.
The project is the first chapter in a multi-part adaptation of the 1990s Knightfall comics, which helps explain the tighter runtime.
DC’s synopsis highlights Bane as the driving threat who pushes Batman to his breaking point after an Arkham Asylum breakout.
The creative team includes director Jeff Wamester, writer Jeremy Adams, supervising producer Rick Morales, producers Jim Krieg and Kimberly S. Moreau, and executive producers Sam Register and Michael Uslan.
No release date is set, and coverage points to a likely digital and streaming rollout later in 2026 based on how DC animated films typically debut.
