Over the past few months, Netflix has carried most of the recent DC movie lineup stretching from the DCEU and other extended universe titles. All, however, have already began leaving Netflix with the vast majority of the remaining titles leaving Netflix on April 1st and two more scheduled for the next few months.
Please note: This article is targeted explicitly at Netflix in the United States. Other region’s licensed libraries vary dramatically.
In case you missed it, over several waves, the vast majority of Warner Bros. Pictures DC movie lineup hit Netflix throughout December 2023 and into the New Year. They come as Warner Bros. Discovery has increased the amount of titles it’s licensed out to third-party competitors like Netflix. It’s why, for example, we saw HBO titles head to Netflix for the first time in 2023, with more set for the rest of this year.
In the case of the movies, they’ve been licensed to Netflix in a relatively small window, averaging from 3-5 months maximum. These movies will almost certainly move around streaming services for the foreseeable future but one constant will be that they stream consistently on Max.
If you’re looking for a handy guide on streaming these DC movies on Netflix in order, whether canonically or by release, we’ve got you covered with a guide here.
