Our take
This adult animated Batman story includes a sex scene, strong violence and sexual assault. A woman is shot, stripped and photographed as part of an attempt to break her father psychologically. Language includes the s-word, hell, damn and the b-word. The material is unsuitable for viewers under 16.
Uplifting themes
Batman continues trying to reach someone who appears beyond help Batman tries to end the cycle of harm, although some of his choices remain troubling
Story (may spoil tone)
As Batman hunts for the escaped Joker, the Clown Prince of Crime attacks the Gordon family to prove a diabolical point mirroring his own fall into madness.

Talk after watching
- The film uses a woman's pain to make a point. How did that sit with you?
- When a story is this dark, how do you decide if it is worth watching?
