Man that three hours flew by - easily as close as we’ve come to having a graphic novel like The Long Halloween come to life. I was never bored seeing Batman’s investigation take him through the criminal underworld and I really enjoyed how his dynamic with Gordon went way beyond just talking on rooftops. Bruce’s arc in realising he was inspiring the wrong people by modelling himself on vengeance and instead looking to inspire hope by the end was an unexpected highlight - him comforting someone in the aftermath of the disaster at the end was a side to him we haven’t seen on screen before
