This new batman movie was very good.
Pros: I like how well this new batman story was focus in the 1920s. The pacing was spot on. Most of the animation was good. I was impressed seeing how they depicted Oliver Queen & Barbara Oracle individually and the story itself to me was pretty descent.
Cons: Dick Grayson, Sanjay & Harvey Dent didn’t had equal screentime on screen and The final concession was forgettable.
