That was the most enjoyable installment of any comic-book adaptation I can remember, including The Dark Knight. I basically forgot that it was set in the Batman cinematic universe.
My only minor complaint is that some of the plotlines seemed a little forced. For instance:
- They didn't think that she could possibly send a bomb into the tunnel. I get that they likely thought she wanted the drugs but the Penguin's crew seemed pretty unprepared for anything except for 1 scenario
- Oz had a gun to his head at least 3 times by people that wanted to kill him and he managed to wriggle out just in the nick of time. The scene where he ripped himself loose from the chair, stabbed the inept guard and then killed everyone in the room except for his two main antagonists was a little hard to swallow.
