This movie is very entertaining with the Riddler (Paul Dano) creating havoc and leaving his riddles all over town. It is a very dark version of Batman. The Batman armor saves him on several occasions. Bruce Wayne/Batman (Robert Pattinson) must battle a man no one knows who is leaving riddles and killing notorious gangsters or corrupt politicians. He puts a bad name on vigilanteism.
Falcone (John Torturro) is the head of the syndicate. He is a very bad man who is seldom seen. He is the father of Selina (Zoë Kravitz) who dresses like the cat woman and is a vigilante in her own right. She goes after Falcone who is her father and killed her mother. An un betweener is Penguin (Colin Ferrell) who is done in by the Riddler.
They finally catch up to the Riddler when he murders Falcone. He is arrested and in jail. Batman visits him in jail and the Riddler taunts him because he didn't figure out his plans, to blow the sea wall and 500 members of his social network will create chaos by shooting the crowds of people escaping. The 500 wear masks similar to the Riddler's mask. Batman doesn't stop the explosions, but he mostly stops the shooting. Selina helps him. Lt. James Gordon (Jeffrey Wright) saves the new mayor.
As I noted the action is very intense. The dark nature of the movie makes it hard to understand what is happening at times.
