Batman Forever copies the cut-corner capitals of the 1995 film’s title and comes as a solid and an outline file. dafont names no author and its terms are unclear, so it is not ours to pass on: get it from dafont, for personal use. Free for posters, invites and your edits; to sell what you make with it, buy its author’s licence.
Rubik Mono One has the heavy, evenly spaced capitals of the BATMAN title, with rounded corners where the film’s letters are cut at an angle. It draws every letter as a capital, as the logo does. Use it for anything, even things you sell.

What font is Batman written in?
Sources name more than one, because Batman has had a new title in each era. Google’s AI answer puts Batman Forever first: a techno, sci-fi display font copied from the title of the 1995 film, which dafont and FontMeme offer as a solid and an outline file. For The Batman in 2022 it names Fiorello Condensed, a commercial typeface, and for the 1990s cartoon it names Andes, a free font inspired by that series’ title. The terms of Batman Forever are unclear: Google’s snippet of its dafont page calls it donationware, free for personal use, but the dafont label we read and the font file itself say Shareware, and no author is named.
Batman Forever is not given here, since its terms are unclear and Warner Bros. and DC own the film logo it copies. Rubik Mono One, by Hubert and Fischer, is: its SIL Open Font License lets anyone use it, and its wide, heavy capitals are in the same spirit. It is a lookalike, not the film’s lettering.
How the Batman Forever lettering looks
BATMAN in that font is set in capitals only, broad and heavy, with corners cut at hard angles and a sci-fi edge. The bat emblem’s colors are black and yellow, so that is the pair this page uses, rather than the palette of one film’s poster.
Solid on the Logo background draws your words in black on that yellow, like the bat in its oval. Glow lights them against a dark ground of your own, the way the Bat-Signal lights a night sky; Outline gives hollow letters, like the font’s outline file; Clear leaves the ground out, to lay the words over a photo of a city at night.
Make a Batman-style title in CapCut
Type the name of your own hero, your username or a title such as Night Shift in the box at the top, pick Solid and Clear, and keep the picture.
In CapCut, put your clip on the timeline and add the picture as an overlay over its first two or three seconds.
Lower the clip’s brightness or add a dark filter, so the scene looks like Gotham after midnight and the yellow letters stand out.
Add a line of small white capitals under it, such as a date or a place, so the big black-and-yellow name stays the one loud thing.

Questions
What font is Batman written in?
The bat emblem is a drawing, not a font, and each film has had its own title lettering. The one people download is Batman Forever, copied from the 1995 film’s title; Rubik Mono One, given on this page, is a free lookalike.
Is the Batman font free?
Rubik Mono One, the font on this page, comes with the SIL Open Font License, which covers any project. Batman Forever’s labels disagree: Google’s snippet says donationware for personal use, the file itself says Shareware, and it names no author, so it is not given here. The film logo belongs to Warner Bros. and DC.
What font is closest to Gotham?
Gotham, the typeface, is a clean geometric sans designed by Tobias Frere-Jones and sold by Hoefler & Co.; it shares a name with Batman’s city but is not a Batman logo font. Montserrat, free on Google Fonts, has similar round, even capitals.
Is there a Batman font in Canva?
Canva’s Brand Kit accepts uploaded fonts on a Pro plan: download Rubik Mono One here and add it there. The Batman Forever file is not given here, because its terms are unclear, and FontSpace’s list of 24 free Batman-style fonts has terms of its own for each one.
Can I sell things made with the Batman font?
Yes, for your own words: the license of Rubik Mono One allows it on shirts, mugs and anything else you sell. The name Batman and its bat logo belong to Warner Bros. and DC, so a shirt that says Batman or copies the logo needs their permission, and Batman Forever’s unclear terms do not cover selling.
