Movies like Batman

“Batman (1989) is a 1980s American dark-fantasy crime-thriller that recasts gangster-epic stakes within a gothic urban tableau. It centers on Batman's identity-driven vigilante response to the Joker's criminal takeover, filmed in wide-anamorphic compositions and long-take choreography. The film argues that superhero spectacle functions as a rehearsal for civic moral-unease, making identity performance a public psychological faultline.”
