Mostly low-key very Se7en mystery in gloomy buildings, but then Big Superhero Movie ending, which didn’t really work but was at least a different step.
(The Zodiac killer was cited as an influence on the unassuming cypher-loving villain - and of course David Fincher made Zodiac after Se7en.)
Really liked Michael Giacchino’s bom-bom-BOM-bom motif, which thanks to the late release I knew from trailers, as well as the Elfman callback Catwoman motif.
Nirvana’s Something In The Way is deployed not once but twice. DARKNESS! NO PARENTS! is not.
Edinburgher joke about Glasgow being a nightmarish urban hellscape here.
Colin Farrell’s makeup worked, though the scar across his cheek to conceal the fake jaw was a giveaway.
The Iceberg Lounge as a thumping techno club (with a jazzy mob hangout VIP area) seemed a bit off for Penguin though.
TWH connection: TNW star Rupert Penry-Jones as the Mayor. Don’t get attached.
One F-bomb. Not from a main character.
