About
You’ll likely like this if you want a dark, suspenseful animated superhero origin with a strong focus on Gordon in Gotham; Not for you if you want more frequent action or you’ve already read the graphic novel.
Pros: dark Gotham mood; Gordon-focused story; strong voice performance | Cons: introspective pacing; dialogue may feel copied; fewer action moments
