Movies that feel likeBatman & Robin (1997)

Batman and his sidekick Robin attempt to the foil the sinister schemes of a deranged set of new villains, most notably the melancholy Mr. Freeze, who wants to make Gotham City into an arctic region, and the sultry Poison Ivy, a botanical femme fatale. As the Dynamic Duo contend with these bad guys, a third hero, Batgirl, joins the ranks of the city's crime-fighters.

If you loved Batman & Robin, the closest films we have are Superman Returns (2006), Superman (1978) and X-Men (2000). All three share Batman & Robin's kinetic and cerebral feel, which is what we rank on before quality.

Seen the big three already? The under-the-radar pick below is Superman (2025).
