Farrell is unrecognizable under astonishing prosthetics for the new “Batman” spinoff series. He’s also doing some of the best work of his career in this gritty DC Comics triumph.

movie was too much Batman , and yet artists have repeatedly tried to create Gotham City-related film and TV projects without him, be it, detailing the efforts of its title character to seize control of the metropolis’ underworld in the wake of The Riddler’s reign of terror.

Still, Lauren LeFranc’s series overcomes that obstacle by concocting a gripping tale of gangland scheming and warfare, all of it revolving around Oz, who gets himself into trouble when, upon visiting the office of deceased kingpin Carmine Falcone to steal jewels and incriminating evidence on politicians and associates, he runs into Carmine’s son and heir apparent, Alberto .

Class resentment is rife throughout these proceedings and, especially, in Oz, who maniacally wants respect, seethes with hatred at anyone who thinks him lesser, and cannily exploits others’ comparable rage in order to attain their loyalty and convince them to do his bidding.
