For this to really work we need to see more TV's and devices that connect to a TV to have online access to Facebook and this streaming service.
A movie service just aimed at people sat in front of a computer won't be successful.
Am I the only one who clicked thinking that the title was referring to this Batman joining Facebook? :P
Anyway, I'm not sure whether this will work when there are already the likes of Netflix, Lovefilm, Amazon etc. with streaming services. I agree with Brewster0101 that for it to have a chance with Facebook users it would probably need TV connectivity.
I think you guys are vastly underestimating the power of facebook...
Sure it might not be the best place to watch movies.... but i bet hundreds, even thousands of people will sit infront of facebook commenting and chating away whilst watching films they just rented from the comfort of facebook... such a wide and captive audience...
what better place to stage the beginning of a new pay to watch movie service?
According to TechCrunch, it appears that it's not a new service or anything after all, just that Warner Bros. did a Facebook app for people to watch The Dark Knight.
Apparently Hulu and Netflix are already connected to Facebook via Facebook Connect anyway.
