Notes[]

Behind the Scenes[]

  • Gotham was designed by American production designer James Chinlund.[1] Chinlund built the entire city in virtual reality during pre-production to allow director Matt Reeves to storyboard the film,[2] taking influence from the Batmobile he had designed for the film.[3] Actor Jeffrey Wright lauded it as "a Gotham we could touch".[4]

Trivia[]

  • Matt Reeves's vision for the city has been lauded by some fans over Christopher Nolan's version of Gotham, which those fans feel to have made too unremarkable of a city.[5]
  • Digital artist Miguel Santana da Silva took inspiration from the rooftop matte painting in "The Room" for the look of Gotham during the sunset scene in "The Batman".[6]

Appearances[]

  • The Batman (first appearance)

Good opportunity to mention that when composing the look of Gotham in the sunset scene, I took a small amount of inspiration from the rooftop matte painting in The Room, which actually vibes so much harder than it has any right to. #vfx - Miguel Santana da Silva @m_santana - 30 August 2024 - Twitter - Retrieved 4 September 2024 - Archived 4 September 2024
