About
You may like this if you want a dark, older take on Batman with a grim Gotham and strong tension; Not for you if you want a lighter story or something that feels fully complete on its own, like Superman: Unbound.
Pros: dark, gritty atmosphere; strong older Batman; engaging Gotham conflict | Cons: some villains feel weak; story feels like setup; pacing can feel rushed
