Necessary Evil: Super-Villains of DC Comics

The Joker meets Lex Luthor as animated cameos clash with live interviews, dissecting DC’s most notorious antiheroes from their comic origins to silver-screen reboots. The doc stitches vintage art and candid footage to argue why these villains outshine their heroes. The real villain might just be nostalgia.
