Rated R for realistic

Rating: 10/10 (28 December 2019)

I remember watching batman in the 90s, even the cartoon was darker and more emotionally compelling then the most modern superhero movie franchises. The back stories of the villains painted a picture into their behavior. Most were tormented in some way or had some twisted take on justice. In some ways they were initially right. Batman wouldn't just try to stop them, he'd try to help them.
As for the movie itself, as others have said haunting and compelling. It takes the simple concept we've seen to have forgotten above and blasted us with reality. Their are sad and broken people all around us.
If this was a true story he probably would have just ended up as a homeless beggar. Instead we get a fairy tale villain. So you don't have to keep feeling sorry for him. But the movie does a good enough job to keep that in the back of your mind whether you realize it or not.
If they could achieve this level with Clay Face, Gator Guy etc that would be epic. Enjoy!
