But despite all these options, there are still plenty of films that slip through the cracks and appear on none of the streaming services.Among them are Christopher Nolan’s acclaimed trilogy of Batman Begins (2005), The Dark Knight (2008) and The Dark Knight Rises (2012).

Often considered among the best superhero movies ever made, the three Christian Bale-led films are not on any of the streaming options in the UK, although they can be rented or bought digitally through the likes of Sky Store, Apple TV, YouTube and Google Play.One of Nolan’s other most celebrated films, 2006’s The Prestige, is also absent from streaming.

The mystery surrounds the story of two magicians – played by Bale and Hugh Jackman – whose intense rivalry leads them on a lifelong battle for supremacy, with deadly consequences.
