Previous Batman films have scored reasonably strongly in China: “The Dark Knight Rises” earned $53 million in 2012; “Batman V Superman: Dawn of Justice” scored $97 million in 2016; and “Justice League,” when China was the first country to premiere the film, earned $106 million in 2017. Until very recently, “The Batman” appeared to offer a useful test of whether mainland Chinese audiences might still turn out in force for a major Hollywood franchise title. The film completed its passage through censorship early enough to build a meaningful marketing campaign. Its China release, while not a day-and-date outing, was positioned relatively close to the film’s North American debut.
