So, I finally saw it after knowing it reviewed so poorly.

If you just give me the first two thirds or so as the first episode of a miniseries, it’s not too bad.

But the turn away from Joker just didn’t make sense. The complaint seems to be that he just can’t be that person that everyone wants him to be. However we never really see that. Then by the end he seems like he wants to be Joker against, but maybe that’s just to win Lee back.

Just all seemed like a waste.

When should something no longer be considered a spoiler? In general use your best judgement. If want something more specific,

  • For TV shows, consider the whole season as a spoiler until the last episode of the season has aired, then wait a few weeks.
