Batman Forever (1995)

One thing that has always fascinated me about Batman movies is the style of architecture of the city of Gotham. In this movie, the lighting dominates the structures rather than the opposite. This creates an unusual look for a city that’s supposed to be all doom and gloom when now it seems to glow radioactively.



Jim Carrey always seems to bring a considerable measure of spontaneity and odd facial expressions to a character. This medium shot of him explaining to his boss the key element in his latest invention proves that notion quite well. There are no objects to help the emphasis because they are not necessary.



Dark colors often represent dark feelings, and that holds true for this flashback to Bruce Wayne’s childhood. Everything has the blue tint, even the fire. It makes the flashback distinct and ethereal, which is appropriate for the situation.
