“The landmark franchise of the Caped Crusader is propelled to new territory using themes of film noir to unmask a fresh and effective detective story set in the corrupt underworld of Gotham City. Expressionistic camera work set the tone, a captivating film score fills the mood, and an enticing use of color palette are employed as tools to enhance this daring and very suspenseful cinematic experience. A delicious cast of character performances are featured as each clue is pieced together, including Paul Dano as the haunting yet captivating sadistic killer.”

The high expectations and hype surrounding the film is at all-time high. Early screening tickets have already been sold-out. Fans and moviegoers alike are indeed in for a ride when the film releases early on March 1st and officially releases on March 4th.
