“Batman” (leaving April 1) Michael Keaton plays the caped crusader in the 1989 action flick. He must protect Gotham from the villainous Joker (Jack Nicholson). The sequels, “Batman Returns” and “Batman Forever,” are also leaving Netflix.

“Never Let Me Go” (leaving April 1) Carey Mulligan, Andrew Garfield and Keira Knightley star in this dystopian drama about three young adults at an English boarding school. They realize they’ve been created for a specific purpose, they must evaluate their priorities.
