The latest Batman movie is now available to buy digitally. Knightfall Part 1 is a direct-to-video animated DC movie, but that doesn’t mean it isn’t an excellent take on the Caped Crusader. We loved it enough to award it an impressive 9 out of 10 in our review<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Batman: Knightfall Part 1 – Knightfall is the start of a new trilogy of animated Batman films. It’s based on one of the best Batman graphic novels<\/a> of all time and is absolutely worth checking out.<\/p>\n

Only available digitally.<\/p>\n

Knightfall Part 1 isn’t available in theaters, so buying the movie digitally through a VOD service like Prime Video<\/a> is your only option if you want to watch it right now. If you don’t mind waiting until September 8, however, there’s a 4K UHD and Blu-ray you can preorder for a bit more money.<\/p>\n

What we said in our review<\/p>\n

“After the largely disappointing Crisis trilogy, Batman: Knightfall Part 1 – Knightfall is a strong return to form for DC\u2019s direct-to-video movie line. The first part of this animated trilogy succeeds in cutting through the fat and adapting the essential core of a classic Batman crossover. It paints a vivid psychological portrait of both Batman and his latest arch-nemesis. The film also looks great and boasts a talented voice cast that brings this venerable source material to life. This new DC animated trilogy is off to a great start.” – Jesse Schedeen<\/a><\/p>\n

When Is Knightfall Part 2?<\/p>\n

With the first part of the trilogy out now, you’re likely wondering when exactly you can expect the second part to drop. While we don’t have a hard release date for Knightfall Part 2 just yet, we do know that it’s supposed to arrive sometime later in 2026. The final entry in the trilogy has been confirmed for early 2027 as well.<\/p>\n

As for new live-action Batman movies<\/a>, you’re going to have to wait even longer still. The Batman: Part 2 was pushed back to 2028<\/a> and we still don’t have a release date for James Gunn’s The Brave and the Bold<\/a>.<\/p>\n
