About

You’ll likely enjoy this if you want a darker, more intense animated superhero mystery with a futuristic edge, especially if you liked Batman Beyond or Batman: Mask of the Phantasm; Not for you if you prefer lighter, kid-friendly action.

Pros: dark, gripping story; strong voice performances; futuristic Gotham vibe | Cons: disturbing for kids; some plot errors; side gang underwhelming
