How It Feels

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

A ruthless crime drama that watches a scarred underling claw his way to the top of Gotham's criminal hierarchy, driven by twisted loyalty to his mother and a hunger to erase his shame. It's gritty, morally corrosive storytelling where ambition and violence are inseparable.

Did Cristin Milioti just make me a DC fan?!
The Batman was a little slow for me; I fell asleep in the theater. I was all in on this though from the first episode through the last. Everyone was good, but Cristin Milioti stole the show. My only complaint is having to wait until The Batman Part 2 in October 2026 to continue the story.
