While many films are resigned to using superficial aesthetics, โThe Batmanโ crafts an atmosphere of mystery that permeates the film โ an excellent addition to the noir genre. Gotham feels like a living, breathing city, a testament to the careful world building that went into creating the film. From the retro-modern design of Gotham City to Michael Giacchinoโs magnificent score, the film successfully transports the audience into the world of Batman.
