Packing in three familiar Batman villains in the way of Penguin, Catwoman, and The Riddler, the movie does its best to keep the Nolan practicalities that made The Dark Knight trilogy so solid, but with the flair of the character’s inborn theatrics. At the center of a very good (if certainly overlong) take on Batman, is Paul Dano’s The Riddler....

Ever since Disney+ was created to store all of Disney’s movies and TV shows, the MCU has branched out into creating TV shows alongside their movies. It’s given the writers more leeway than a typical movie length could, and it’s also helped give more time to introduce some newer heroes that hadn’t appeared yet and aren’t as well-known as the other heroes populating the MCU. As we work further into the recently announced Multiverse Saga, some questions do rise....
