The Dark Knight Trilogy‘s shuffling around the different streaming services these past twelve months speaks to a bigger problem in the industry.

We know, because we’re always writing up stories about what’s coming to and leaving Netflix, Hulu, Amazon Prime Video, and others—and we often see the same title crop up on a specific service months after we already discussed it.”
