Why THE BATMAN Is So Beautiful | A Cinematography Video Essay

[Silver Nemesis]

Here's a fascinating look at how DP Greig Fraser achieved The Batman's beautiful cinematography.

Between his work on Dune and The Batman, Fraser has proven himself to be one of the best cinematographer's in the industry. He's currently up for an Academy Award for his work on Dune, and I wouldn't be surprised if he receives another nomination next year for The Batman.

Great find! And that YouTuber makes some good comparisons to the look of TB to that of the MCU. Honestly, I see room in the marketplace for both approaches.

Still, I definitely prefer the grimy atmosphere of Fraser's work. All those years people spent daydreaming about what a Seven-style Batman movie could be like were obviously not done in vain. This might be the closest we ever get to David Fincher directing a Batman film.

The big legacy of TB might be that it was a labor of love for all parties involved. The inevitable sequel has a lot to live up to just in visual terms.
