"A surprisingly engaging spy show, but it never earns its status as a dedicated prequel about one of the most well-known—and yet still vaguely mysterious—figures in the entire superhero canon."

—

A.V. Club

"As in “Gotham,” though, Heller and Cannon are better at the setup than at the continuing execution."

—

The New York Times

"Doesn’t particularly care about filling in blanks of the Bat mythos, even though Bruce Wayne’s father, Thomas (Ben Aldridge), keeps crossing paths here with his future manservant. Rather, Heller is using the connection to a popular brand (*) as an excuse to tell spy stories in a cracked-mirror vision of Swinging Sixties London."

Rolling Stone

"Stylistically, it's gripping and an enormous amount of fun (though, to be clear, shockingly violent in parts), with Bannon a real revelation as he swaggers around with his Cockney accent, channeling Michael Caine without coming off as a cheap imitation"
