7.6 average
Gothic, gorgeously gloomy comic-book pulp where the villain is having far more fun than the hero, and the score does half the work.
What it is
After witnessing his parents’ murder, a wealthy philanthropist becomes a masked vigilante protecting Gotham City from criminals. When a theatrical madman takes control of the underworld, the hero faces a dangerous enemy while trying to safeguard his secret and a determined reporter caught in the chaos.
