With incredible Pinewood Studios sets of an oppressive, gothic, gargoyled Gotham City “as if hell had erupted through the pavements and kept growing” and a sleek Batmobile symbolising sex and violence, all designed by #AntonFurst, in addition to a Baroque operatic score by composer #DannyElfman, the film noir homage was a massive box office hit, making over $400 million. It was also for the most part an artistic and critical success, redefining the comic book genre completely.
