The only thing I don't 100% love is the Joker's voice and design. Both are ok, just not my favorite. Essential Batman viewing.

Alvarez really impressed me and the film feels connected to the rest of the franchise in surprising ways. It does borrow basically anything and everything that was cool about all the other films (yes, even Resurrection) but much like 2022's…
