How It Feels

Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.

A Gothic fever dream where Gotham's darkness reaches operatic extremes, driven by warring antiheroes with wounds deeper than their masks. Tim Burton's visual perversity makes this feel less like superhero action and more like a delicious descent into moral ambiguity.
