A new Batman rises in a gritty, futuristic Gotham, battling dark forces with brisk, suspenseful action.
Darkly comic and epic. A full-attention watch at a brisk pace. Emotionally it carries some weight.
Streaming on Max.
Heads up on strong violence. That is past what the TV-Y7 on the box suggests. Beyond that, mild language and a few tense moments.
Our estimate: fine from about 13, higher than the TV-Y7 suggests, because of the violence.
How we rate: an AI reads what is known about each title and tags it 0 to 3; we check the tags against a hand-rated set and correct them by hand when readers tell us. Estimates, not a scene-by-scene review. Spot a mistake? Tell us.
As new villains overrun Gotham City of the future, the aging Bruce Wayne hangs up the cape of the once invincible Batman. But when troubled teenager Terry McGinnis stumbles upon the Dark Knight's secret, a new alliance is forged. And a triumphant new Batman is born.
It leaves things open rather than tying them up.
