Twitch superstar Kai Cenat has finally locked in his next highly-anticipated marathon stream and we’ve got the full rundown on all there is to know. From the Batman Arkham games in focus to the exact start time, here’s the overview.
Largely popularizing the marathon stream, Cenat has become one of the internet’s most popular influencers on the back of his lengthy broadcasts. Be it his iconic Elden Ring marathons or the record-breaking Mafiathons, he’s often turning heads with his extraordinarily long marathons.
Now, after a few weeks of regularly scheduled programming, Cenat is back at it with another challenge. This time around, after months of teasing, he’s finally jumping into the Batman Arkham games, and he’s doing so in style.
From kicking it all off with a blockbuster trailer to calling in help from Warner Bros. directly, it’s shaping up to be one of his biggest Twitch marathons to date. Here’s everything you need to know before it all gets underway.
When is Kai Cenat’s Batman marathon? Start date & time
Kai Cenat is kicking off his Batman Arkham marathon on Friday, February 21, starting at 3PM PT | 5PM Central | 6PM EST.
Obviously, there’s no telling quite how long this particular stream will run for, but expect it to be a fair few days. Given the length of the games themselves (more on that below), along with all his antics and planned interruptions, we’re no doubt in store for a huge marathon once again.
Where to watch the Batman marathon
As you’d expect, the Arkham marathon will be streamed live in its entirety on Kai Cenat’s Twitch channel, which we’ve embedded here for your convenience.
If you miss any of the action, rest assured highlights will be all across social media and Kai’s own YouTube channel in no time. We’ll be sure to keep you posted here with all the best moments as well.
Trailer
As with all his big streams, Cenat had to drop the hardest trailer of the year for his Batman Arkham marathon. All suited up as Batman himself, Cenat whisks through Arkham Asylum, beating up a loudmouth goon, before heading further out into Arkham City and going toe to toe with Deadshot.
It all comes to a head as Cenat drives the iconic Batmobile directly toward the Joker. What happens next? We’ll all just have to tune in and see.
What games are included in the marathon?
While often considered a trilogy, there are actually four games in the mainline Batman Arkham series. It all started in 2009 as the acclaimed Rocksteady Studios won dozens of awards with its beloved Arkham Asylum game.
Two years later it was followed up with Arkham City, taking the game out of the Asylum itself and into the murky streets of Bruce Wayne’s hometown.
After that came an interstitial not as widely regarded as the others. Rocksteady took a backseat as Warner Bros. Games Montréal led development on Arkham Origins, a prequel setting up this particular rendition of Batman.
Rounding it all out was Arkham Knight in 2015, an epic conclusion to the series as Rocksteady closed out its story before moving on from the IP.
Cenat will be playing all four games back to back as part of his Twitch marathon, but roughly how long will it all take? Well, that obviously depends on how he’s playing. Whether he’s just rushing through the main storyline in each game or taking his time to complete all the bonus riddles will drastically impact his overall time.
Below is a breakdown of how long each game takes to beat on average, according to data from thousands of players:
- Arkham Asylum – 12 hours
- Arkham City – 12-13 hours
- Arkham Origins – 12-13 hours
- Arkham Knight – 17hours
So all up, Cenat is looking at an absolute minimum of 53 hours for this marathon, though we expect it’ll be a lot longer than that before he’s done.
What to expect from Kai Cenat’s Batman marathon stream
From celebrity guests to hilarious skits and of course, a total revamp of his streaming room, Cenat always goes above and beyond for his marathons, and this one is set to be no different. In fact, he’s even gone on record to claim it’ll be “by far the craziest one” yet.
Back in January, 2025, Cenat teased he’d been in talks with Warner Bros. directly to help push the marathon to the next level. The studio behind the Batman films “loved” the idea so much they’ve offered up everything from “suits, gadgets, cars,” and even helped scout possible stream locations like “real-life caves.”
One thing is for sure, fans are in for another epic stream that only Kai Cenat and his team of creatives could pull off. We’ll be sure to keep you posted here as it all gets underway.
