This film is dirty, grimy and exactly what you want from a Batman film.
Matt Reeves has crafted a film that actually deals with Gotham City in terms of what a truly corrupt world would look like.
This isn't about exciting us or getting cheers from the audience. This is a film that has a message meant to terrify viewers and hopefully make them reflect on it long after they leave the theatre.
This isn't the Batman film you were expecting, but if you've read some of the best Batman comics it is the film you will love.
