Made for anyone who likes to be kept guessing, sci-fi fans and action fans. If you loved Justice League Dark: Apokolips War, start here.
The mood
Tense, feel-good.
The pace
Fast-moving, at 2 hr 28 min.
What might put you off
Rated PG-13. Probably too much for younger kids.

Batman has not been seen for ten years. A new breed of criminal ravages Gotham City, forcing fifty-five-year-old Bruce Wayne back into the cape and cowl, but does he still have what it takes to fight crime in a new era?
