The Batman is not only built on a foundation of noir, but horror movies as well.

✖ Since promotion on The Batman began, director and co-writer Matt Reeves has been open about the fact that among the biggest influences on his film were detective stories. Noir classic Chinatown and Alan Pakula's Klute & All The President's Men were among the titles specifically namechecked by the director as films that were baked into the DNA of his new movie.

One last piece of the scene that's clearly rooted in Halloween? It might be a stretch, but the Riddler's outfit, with his glasses sitting over the mask, is quite similar to Michael Myers disguising himself as Bob in the original film. This version of Riddler is clearly primarily modeled after the Zodiac, but this minor Myers detail is tough to ignore.

The schemes of both John Doe in Se7en and The Riddler in The Batman also share similar foundations. The killer in Fincher's movie believes himself to have been sent by a higher power to shock the world and wake it up, a sentiment quite similar to The Riddler's intentions of shaking Gotham City to its core with the conspiracy that he is trying to unearth.
