I am running on Windows.

gpg --version
gpg (GnuPG) 2.2.4
libgcrypt 1.8.2

I am trying to decrypt multiple files, as follows:

gpg --batch --decrypt-files *.gpg  --passphrase secretPassword

I get the error:

Note: '--passphrase' is not considered an option

I am trying to put this in a batch file.

From gpg --help

...

Syntax: gpg [options] [files]

...

You should put the options before the files you're working on, so prepend --passphrase secretPassword before the files part, and not after as you did.
