by

Even with so many superhero films coming out each year, many fans consider Christopher Nolan’s Batman trilogy to be the best comic book series ever made. Now, that incredible series – The Dark Knight Trilogy – is available to stream for free! Make some time this weekend (or maybe take a day off) to watch or re-watch what many consider the greatest superhero movies of all time.

You can now watch all three of Christopher Nolan’s Batman films – Batman Begins, The Dark Knight, and The Dark Knight Rises – for free on Tubi! The trilogy, which started with Batman Begins 20 years ago, offers a realistic take on the classic superhero story, starring Christian Bale as Bruce Wayne. The films also feature fantastic performances from Gary Oldman as James Gordon, Michael Caine as the ideal Alfred, Cillian Murphy as Scarecrow, and Liam Neeson as Ra’s al Ghul.

Following the success of Batman Begins, Christopher Nolan released The Dark Knight in 2008. Widely considered one of the greatest superhero films ever made, it’s especially remembered for Heath Ledger’s unforgettable portrayal of The Joker. The trilogy concluded in 2012 with a final film featuring new cast members Anne Hathaway, Joseph Gordon-Levitt, and Tom Hardy, who played the imposing villain Bane. All three Dark Knight films received critical and popular acclaim, and Christopher Nolan’s growing fanbase has continued to boost the trilogy’s popularity over time.

The Dark Knight Trilogy Saved Batman Movies

Whether you grew up with it or discovered it later, Batman Begins was either your introduction to Batman movies or the film that successfully rebooted the series after a long run of lighter, more comical adaptations. Tim Burton’s Batman remains a beloved film from the 1980s, but its sequels weren’t as well-received. By 1997, George Clooney played Batman in Batman & Robin, a movie widely criticized by fans—so much so that Clooney still jokes about it today.

After a long eight years, people had mostly forgotten about Batman movies until Christopher Nolan revitalized the franchise. The wait proved worthwhile, as The Dark Knight trilogy is now considered the best superhero trilogy ever made, according to IMDb. While The Dark Knight is the standout film with a remarkable 9.1 rating, Batman Begins also scored well with an 8.2, and even The Dark Knight Rises, which initially divided audiences, earned an impressive 8.4. Beyond its popularity, The Dark Knight trilogy redefined superhero movies. It inspired studios to create darker and more realistic versions of comic book heroes, paving the way for films like Kick-Ass, Logan, and the DC Universe created by Zack Snyder.
