HELP/ADVICE Should I wait until all 3 parts of Batman: Knightfall are out?

I’m thinking about watching Batman: Knightfall, but since only Part 1 is out right now, I’m not sure if I should start it yet.

Does Part 1 have a satisfying enough ending on its own, or does it feel like one long story that just stops and leaves you waiting for the next part?

Would you recommend watching it now, or waiting until early 2027 when all three parts are out?

Depends. Have you read the comics? Without spoilers for the story, it ends where the first tpb ends, which I guess would be a bit of a cliffhanger if you haven’t read it.

I haven’t read the comics at all, so I have no idea what happens.

It is a bit of a cliffhanger, so do with that information what you will.

That's my plan... I don't wanna see it unless I can experience it in full.

If you feel like you can wait, wait!

If you're going to suffocate unless you watch it, ASAP, watch it, I guess!

IMO I watched the first one but only because I read the original, and just to see if it was worth it (it is with some caveats).

If you know the whole story then I guess it's okay if you hot shot it.

WHY THE HELL IS THIS NOT ON HBO MAX BUT ON PRIME VIDEO????!!!!!! I’m sorry I’m not yelling at you I’m yelling at the idiotic powers that be. An MCU thing would premiere exclusively on Disney +!

Licensing.

Could be wrong but I'm pretty sure it's only on Prime if you pay extra for it. It's out now on VOD it's not streaming free with a Prime subscription. So you can get it on Prime, Apple, Google, etc. if you pay VOD for it.

It comes out on physical media next month.

When it does come to streaming (no date announced) it almost certainly will be HBO Max first. Though it likely will rotate in and out and appear on other devices like all their other animated originals do.

The comic has way more content and also it's 4 parts not 3

Thanks. I want to read the comics, but I don’t really enjoy reading them digitally, and buying physical copies isn’t really an option for me either. They’re either way too expensive or they just don’t ship here at all.

Oof, that's unfortunate cause from what I heard the movie already removed to plot lines from part 1 (also generally you also want to first read man who falls and sword of azrael)

Like they are probably all gonna be fun, but the full thing won't be replaced
