Movies that feel likeBatman v Superman: Dawn of Justice (2016)

Fearing the actions of a god-like Super Hero left unchecked, Gotham City’s own formidable, forceful vigilante takes on Metropolis’s most revered, modern-day savior, while the world wrestles with what sort of hero it really needs. And with Batman and Superman at war with one another, a new threat quickly arises, putting mankind in greater danger than it’s ever known before.

If you loved Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice, the closest films we have are Zack Snyder's Justice League (2021), The Northman (2022) and Batman Returns (1992). All three share Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice'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 The Mask of Zorro (1998).
