This not one to watch, slow and seriously lacking any of the quality of story you'd expect. Definitely only worth 1 star!

Difficult to review this as it is part 1 of a 2 part series. Part 1 has been on google play for ages and tbh part 2 is long overdue, I doubt we will see it here unless more people request it. As regards this part, it is a story version of the famous frank miller story and imo does it justice, I especially like Paul Weller as Batman, he plays it perfectly and how I imagined Batman would have sounded when I read the comic.

It's a really great take on a legendary character. Would like the part two version on here though. Any chance of that happening soon?
