The Batman Series with Michael Keaton is a good example of film noir.
Film Noir films are typically dark movies. The settings are generally at night. The charater is trying to over come some deep rooted darkness and he may have to save other people that come between his struggle with the darkness within. They usually have sad endings or sad open endings.
