Ge Fu

Unlike any other Batman movie before it, there is no origin story to follow. It immediately and very seriously grabs your attention. At times I found myself forgetting that this was even a Batman movie at all. It felt like a gothic murder mystery like the Bone Collector where the audience could only watch in horror as the hapless victim met their demise. No other comic book hero movie has achieved the level of darkness that this movie has. Even “winning” didn’t feel like winning in the end. It was a different tone. It’s the exact opposite of the lighthearted Marvel movies. Don’t expect giggles and plucky attitude from anyone in the film because DC didn’t just embrace the darkness with this one, it became God of the cold dark Abyss in a hopeless black hole universe. And I absolutely loved it.

Don’t watch this disappointing movie. Wear a condom.
