There’s nothing like the gritty aesthetic of a violent, noir-styled Batman film to get you in the mood for a heart-attack-inducing pizza - at least that’s what Little Caesars believes.

In collaboration with Warner Bros. to promote The Batman, the American pizza chain, Little Caesars, has presented the perfect pre-cinema meal with 'The Batman Calzony,' and we take a closer look at the monster carb attack fit to feed Gotham City.

Directed by Matt Reeves, The Batman will see Robert Pattinson don the cowl in a raw adaptation of Bruce Wayne’s younger years as the Dark Knight, alongside Zoë Kravitz, Paul Dano, Jeffrey Wright, Andy Serkis, and Colin Farrell.

The Batman Calzony

First of all, no Batman-themed pizza is complete, or correct, without it attempting to be remotely bat-shaped, and Little Caesars checks that off the list.

The Batman Calzony is made up of six slices of pepperoni pizza combined with a further two slices of a buttery, parmesan calzone-styled crust filled with garlic white sauce, cheese, julienne pepperoni, and Crazy Sauce.

It’s hard to believe that this collaborative feast only costs $7.99, which should keep you full enough through your second and third watch of the film.

The Batman Calzony is based on Little Caesars’ limited-time offer, The Crazy Calzony - first introduced back in August 2021.
