The films that are set to leave a number of film buffs devastated include Batman Begins, which was released in 2005, along with The Dark Knight and The Dark Knight Rises.

From June 19 through to the 26, Father Figures, American Sniper, Brain on Fire and two seasons of Signs will also be removed from Netflix. But this is not the first time the streaming platform has axed a number of shows. Back in November 2023, fans were left gutted at the removal of Shadow and Bone, despite the second series of the TV show being one of Netflix's most watched list. In addition, Six of Crows was also pulled. Taking to X, one fan wrote: "Shadow and bone cancelled no one talk to me omg just ruined my week." Another said: "I just woke up and Shadow and Bone has been cancelled by Netflix… I don't know how to process this except to say that…WE WERE ROBBED THE HEIST!!!!!" Meanwhile a third person penned: "Gutted to hear that Shadow & Bone has been cancelled. I thought the show was fabulous." And Leigh Bardugo, who is the author of both series took to Instagram to vent her frustration. She said at the time: "Friends, by now you've probably heard that there will be no season three for Shadow and Bone and no Six of Crows spinoff. The news hit me hard. I'm heartbroken and deeply disappointed, but I'm also trying to hold onto my very real gratitude." She added: "Most authors never get to see their work adapted. Many who do end up regretting the experience. I'm one of the lucky few who can look at an adaptation with pride and tremendous joy. I am so grateful to our writers, our crew, and our extraordinary cast who are not just wildly talented, but genuinely good people." She went on to say: "Most of all I want to saw how grateful I am to the folks reading this – whether you found your way to the books first or discovered them through the show. " She continued: "The Grishaverse is a better place because of you and I am so thankful for every tweet, post, comment, review, artwork, fic, tattoo and cosplay that helped to make all of this possible. She concluded her post: "We're book people and that means we never stop imagining that magic can be made real. You are proof of that. Now, I'm going to go have a cry, and maybe a drink, and then see where the story takes us next."

Netflix fans urged to watch 'one of the best fantasy shows' that was brutally axed
The fantasy series has been hailed as "one of the best" by fans Netflix subscribers have been urged to give fantasy hit show Shadow and Bone a go, despite its cancellation in 2023. A recent Reddit thread saw a telly buff asking for 'bingeable' Netflix series suggestions, sparking over 100 replies. One user stood out by recommending Shadow and Bone, describing it as "cancelled but still worth watching." Shadow and Bone enjoyed a commendable two-season stint from 2021 until early 2023, before Netflix pulled the plug. The show is an adaptation of Leigh Bardugo's young adult novels, which quickly became favourites among readers. It tells the tale of Alina Starkov, who stumbles upon her extraordinary magical abilities that could alter the course of a devastating war. With her newfound power, Alina becomes the target of dark forces, reports Surrey Live. Jessie Mei Li stars as the protagonist Alina, with Ben Barnes, famed for his roles in other popular fantasy works like The Chronicles of Narnia films, also featuring. Upon its debut, the series quickly amassed a dedicated fanbase. It was met with acclaim on Rotten Tomatoes, securing ratings of 84 and 83 percent from audiences and critics, respectively. The film critics' website lauded the show, stating in their consensus: "From gorgeous costumes to impressive - if intimidating - world-building, Shadow and Bone is an exciting adventure for fans and newcomers alike." Casual watchers were also impressed by the series, with a viewer raving: "Characters you fall in love with in just one episode and a plot that unfolds beautifully." Another person resonated with the sentiment, remarking: "Very good. This series does scratch the itch that us geeks and nerds have been feeling." A third fan simply penned: "Must see! Loved the set up and the introductions to these characters!" Over on IMDb, a user hailed the series as "one of the best fantasy television shows [they've] seen in a while." Though the adventurous series won over audiences, it was cancelled after two seasons, reportedly as a cost-saving measure. Regardless, the show continues to garner new fans who urge others to give it a watch.
