THE BATMAN

-

SKY STORE, RAKUTEN MOVIE

This is Batman as film noir, and it’s dark both metaphoric­ally and literally. Robert Pattinson plays Gotham City’s suffering superhero – a good(ish) guy who is actually not that far from being a vigilante. He’s up against the Riddler (Paul Dano), but we also get Penguin (Colin Farrell) and Catwoman (Zoe Kravitz). There are some great action set-pieces but the three-hour running time might test the patience of all but the most dedicated Batman fan. Available now

SPONTANEOU­S NETFLIX DRAMA

Two high school seniors who are dating, played by Katherine Langford and Charlie Plummer, realise they have to start living life to the full when their schoolmate­s start spontaneou­sly exploding – you know, actually blowing up, creating a real bloody mess. How you feel about this black romcom definitely depends on your age. Teenagers might well love it. If your teens are a long time behind you, you will possibly find it a teensy bit irritating.
