Netflix to Remove Nolan’s ‘Dark Knight’ Trilogy on Oct. 9

Licensing shifts will leave the films on other platforms such as Prime Video and RTL+.

Overview

  • Netflix is set to drop Batman Begins, The Dark Knight and The Dark Knight Rises on October 9, 2025, according to reports from German outlets published October 7–8.
  • Watson reports that in Germany the first two films are included with a Prime Video subscription, while The Dark Knight Rises remains available there via digital purchase or rental on Amazon.
  • Serienjunkies also cites RTL+ as an alternative destination after the titles exit Netflix.
  • Availability can differ by territory and platform as rights rotate, so local catalogs may not match the services noted by the German reports.
  • Christopher Nolan’s trilogy (2005–2012) is widely credited with reshaping the superhero genre and includes Heath Ledger’s posthumous Oscar-winning performance, with the three films grossing more than $2.4 billion worldwide.
