Managing a relationship between Netflix and Facebook was already complicated enough – but now Batman’s come in and mucked everything up. Under a just announced deal, Warner Bros. will be making selected movies available for digital rental on each film’s respective Facebook page.

Netflix is going to get more social, with deeper integration with Facebook – and it’s going to be a tricky dance. Don’t get me wrong; Netflix has to do this to stay competitive.
