Is The Dark Knight more of Heat clone than The Batman is a Se7en clone?

Interesting. I remember Seven being a great movie but The Batman was trash imo. However, I see the comparison.

The Dark Knight and Heat were both really good movies imo around the same quality, and I think Heat overall had better acting, writing, and directing, but doesn't have the peaks of The Dark Knight, mainly the masterful Ledger Joker character.

I’d have to rewatch all four movies.

The Batman has barely anything in common with Se7en.

I’d say The Batman and Seven are more closer to each other than TDK and Heat.
