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
