Having seen neither (but Joker easier to guess from basic info) what's black swan about?

Black Swan is about a ballet dancer who, driven by the demand to perfectly play the lead role in Tchaikovsky's Swan Lake, descends into madness.

It's with Natalie Portman and a truly amazing movie. I absolutely recommend watching it, even when you're not into ballet.

Edit: To be honest just watch Joker too. It tells the story of Joker becoming the Joker and Joaquin Phoenix did an amazing job playing the role. It's completely different from any DC / Batman movies and probably not what you'd expect from a movie that plays in this universe.

Both movies are great psychothrillers.

Joker is great because it's using a well known character, but it could be literally anyone. From what I remember, the movie essentially had nothing to do with what Joker will become besides showing how it becomes that. There's no supernatural things. No powers or special abilities. He's just a guy. A guy who ends up being a character we all know, but he isn't yet.

It's using the marketing appeal and budget that DC stuff automatically gets, but it's using it to tell a story that is almost outside of it.

A ballet dancer who's going through some serious psychological shit, and the story of the movie is kinda a modern retelling of the ballet she's performing in
