Batman Begins fits into the Superhero genre very well
Firstly, possibly the main convention of the film is Batman's signature Bat costume. He wears a black armoured suit, with a black cape and a black helmet, with Bat Ears. This is a very signature and recognizable costume that most people would be able to recognize.
Secondly, Batman Begins features an iconic origin story. As a small child, Bruce Wayne fell down an old well and was attacked by Bats, which developed his fear of bats. This fits into the genre well as most, if not all, feature iconic origin stories.
Another convention that Batman Begins satisfies is the double-identity/alter ego convention. Bruce Wayne is a billionaire playboy, who has created the idea of Batman, and works as hard as he can to keep these identities separate.
Finally, another convention that fits into Batman Begins is the love interest. Rachel Dawes is the childhood best friend of Bruce Wayne, who becomes the potential love interest of Bruce Wayne, however Bruce rejects her; leading to him eventually wanting to get back with her, only for her to rebuff him. This fits into the superhero genre as many other films, for example; Spiderman, have love interests that are integral to the plot of the film.
