Looking for a Batman movie on Netflix? Finding the right Dark Knight film can be surprisingly difficult.
Netflix currently lists three major movies from Christopher Nolan’s acclaimed Batman trilogy.
The three films star Christian Bale as Bruce Wayne and follow his transformation into Gotham’s legendary protector.
1. Batman Begins (2005)
Batman Begins tells the story of Bruce Wayne before he becomes Batman.
After witnessing the murder of his parents, Bruce struggles with fear, guilt and his desire to fight crime.
He eventually returns to Gotham and begins developing the skills and identity needed to become Batman.
The film explores his training, his motivations and the creation of his iconic alter ego.
Liam Neeson and Cillian Murphy also play major roles in the story.
Nolan gives the character a darker and more realistic treatment than many earlier Batman films.
The movie establishes the foundation for the two sequels.
2. The Dark Knight (2008)
The Dark Knight takes Batman’s battle against crime to another level.
Bruce Wayne faces one of his most dangerous enemies when the Joker arrives in Gotham.
Heath Ledger plays the Joker in a performance that became one of the most memorable portrayals of the character.
Christian Bale returns as Batman.
Michael Caine, Gary Oldman and Aaron Eckhart also feature prominently.
The movie combines superhero action with crime thriller and psychological drama elements.
Batman must decide how far he can go to protect Gotham without becoming the kind of criminal he fights.
The conflict between Batman and the Joker drives much of the film.
Netflix currently lists The Dark Knight among its available action and acclaimed titles.
3. The Dark Knight Rises (2012)
