That's kinda the aesthetic of Gotham. It's... locked in a weird place, where it draws all these dreary noir-ish and gothic (obviously) architecture together. The Animated Series really pronounced it. It's modern enough yet still somehow has 1940's era stuff in it. Gotham and its setting is as much as a character as Batman. It's dark yes, but wonderful too.

Of course, an added benefit is not having to explain the cables they used to film him flying 😄

Classic Batman and the truest version to comic book. Noire-style. The music , Danny Elfman....epic feels This will always be my favorite along with Batman returns, MIcheller Pfiffer as Catwoman has NOT been done better IMO. The way he glides into the scene..........so iconic and smooth. chills. This bat-suit was just right before they started making everything look over the top military recon gear in the later films. Keaton has a vintage presence that just became Batman for me. His mouth and jaw fit that cowl and mask so well. His bat glare spoke loudly... his use of say nothing filled the scene. The vintage 30-40s look of this set and the way they all dressed was perfect man., A dark Gotham of 80 years ago. Tim Burton created a classic masterpiece.

November 16th, 1981 was the day I was born. I didn't realize how fortunate I was to be one of the first kids on my block to own the VHS of BATMAN. Apparently, it was the first time that a film company anticipated high demands for a home video release. The VHS was said to be available less than a year after the film's release. Up to then, consumers had to wait over a year for new releases. Time and technology were something in the 80's!

Not since Burton has anyone filmed Batman the way he did. There really is no need for intricate detail or busy design on the suit. But you have to understand how crucial lighting and shadows are to really visually capture the character. The rendering here is "iconic" in the original sense of the word. There's no frills. It's absolutely "pure". And therefore timeless.

Batman was already raising his arm before Jack fired, seeing that he was aiming for the head. Fragments of the bullet ricocheted off Batman's gauntlet into the sight glasses, which broke and sent shards of glass flying into Jack's face. It makes perfect sense.
