Movies that feel likeBatman Forever (1995)

Batman faces off against two foes: the schizophrenic, horribly scarred former District Attorney Harvey Dent, aka Two-Face, and the Riddler, a disgruntled ex-Wayne Enterprises inventor seeking revenge against his former employer by unleashing his brain-sucking weapon on Gotham City's residents. As the caped crusader also copes with tortured memories of his parents' murder, he has a new romance, with psychologist Chase Meridian.

If you loved Batman Forever, the closest films we have are Hellboy II: The Golden Army (2008), Fallen Angels (1995) and The Old Guard (2020). All three share Batman Forever's kinetic and dreamlike feel, which is what we rank on before quality.

Seen the big three already? The under-the-radar pick below is A Chinese Ghost Story (1987).
