Jeffrey Wright has talked about how The Batman's version of Gotham is different to any of its predecessors' take on the city.
Speaking to Indie Wire, Wright said the Gotham in the film's script is "unlike Gothams we'd seen before. It was a Gotham we could touch. The way the Batmobile was described, I understood the aesthetic we were going for was something really palpable. If you squint your eyes in some backstreet of New York, you could see it appear."
Depictions of Gotham have ranged from highly stylized, as in Tim Burton's films, to very grounded and realistic, like in Christopher Nolan's The Dark Knight trilogy. Already from the first trailer for The Batman, it's clear that this take on the famous city will be as dark and grungy as we'd expect.
