Batman: Knight of Gotham (Film 2 in the Batman Series)

Batman: Knight of Gotham is the second film in the Batman series being ran by Sam Mendes and Billy Ray. The first film (Batman: Uprising (Film 1 in the Batman Series)) was a massive success, so much that Sam Mendes was hired to make another two Batman films, one being Knight of Gotham. After using a not so well known villain in the first film (Anarky), Sam Mendes expressed interest in having a villain with a bigger name in the sequel. He went as far to say that he might featurer the Joker in the movie, but after a conversation with writer Billy Ray, Mendes said in an interview that the villain would not be Joker but somebody more manipulative and stronger. Three months later, it was announced that Black Mask would feature is the main villain in the next film, with Scoot McNairy portraying him. Michael Fassbender anounced early on in the process that he would be returning as his respective character, as did John Hurt, Bryan Cranston, Denzel Washington, Dayo Okeniyi, and Dwayne Johnson (as a cameo role). The film was released on December 23rd 2018 (in USA) and December 29th 2018 (in UK and Canada). It was seen as a massive success, with Rotten Tomatoes ranking it the same as the first film, 98%, and the New York Times stating "this film is so much better than the first film; it is the ultimate superhero film." This film was also confirmed to be the last film in the series to feature Dayo Okeniyi as Paulo Green and Dwayne Johnson as Killer Croc.

Plot
The film begins with young Paulo Green, sitting in his room, reading a book. It feels very much like the opening of the first film until young Romon Sionis enters the room, looking like he wants to talk to Paulo. Paulo invites him to sit on a chair next to him, in which Romon begins to explain that he is getting up with his rich parents who are always being "stuck-up fools". He asks young Paulo if he can do him a favour... Paulo's parents work in the weapons industry in Wayne Industries, and Romon wants Paulo to steal one of Wayne Industries missile launchers so that Romon can blow his house and parents to the ground. Paulo reluctantly agrees and so Romon leaves.

The next day, Paulo begs his farther to let him go to work with him for the day. Paulo's father, Vendrane, reluctantly agrees. When Vendrane isn't looking, Paulo sneaks into the weapons vault and steals a missile launcher from the vault. Paulo tells his dad that he is bored and heads home, with the small missile launcher in his rucksack. He then heads towards Romon's house, where he finds that Romon is already waiting for him. He throws the missile launcher at Romon and begins to run away as he doesn't want to be there to watch the house go down. As Paulo runs through the street, he looks back and sees a massive explosian. Police arrive at the house to find Romon missing, and the skull of his father also missing. Paulo hides in his room for a week before he finally leaves his house, now knowing that he has helped a murder kill his victims.

The film then skips 10 years later, where Paulo is being rewarded for his bravery against the criminal Anarky, who Paulo shot to death in the last film. Paulo is part of a big ceremony in the city, where he is awarded a medal of honour by Commisioner Gordon. He is about to make a speech when Black Mask (a man who wears a black skull on his face) launches onto the stage and shoots Paulo in the chest. He claims that Paulo is not a brave man, after all, he helped a young Romon Sionis kill his parents, but refused to own up to the murder. Commisioner Gordon tries to shoot Black Mask, but Black Mask escapes when one of his helicopters arrives and shoots one of Gordon's deputy's (Mark Carrol) in the arm.

Meanwhile, Bruce Wayne is told by Alfred about Black Mask's attack on Paulo. He gears up into the batsuit and begins to prepare to hunt Black Mask down.
