.” The pair’s collaboration has been focused on creating grounded worlds, based in reality. That approach was no different for building the world of the new DC adaptation.
Despite its many incarnations, the Batmobile’s sleek ride remains iconic. That led to one of the key decisions by Chinland when approaching this project. Through many conversations with Reeves, the pair knew they wanted it to be a car. “Every design choice you see in the car is born out of the function required,” Chinlund shared. Notably, while the front has a reinforced steel bumper and frame “because he needed to be able to push his way through any obstacle,” the back of the car was left open because they didn’t need to protect that areaChinlund and Reeves were excited that this journey saw Bruce Wayne as an urbanite.
The rich Gothic architecture of the U.K – specifically Liverpool, Glasgow and around London served as the perfect stand-in for Gotham’s Wayne Tower skyscraper. “Liverpool, particularly, just has the most incredible patina and I found it very, very inspiring for us as we started to build the world.”“It was similar to many American cities like Pittsburgh and Chicago, that they had this real sort of heyday.
Serving as the Penguin’s lair, the Iceberg Lounge is also one of Gotham’s coolest places to be seen. Once inside, it’s a maze of corruption and scum for the city’s finest. Between the different levels, the lounge called for a massive backlot build.This set was close to Chinlund’s heart, as someone who has experienced club life In New York. Not only was it exciting to bring it to life, but it was important to get it right. Freeway architect Robert Moses further inspired the aesthetics.
