^ This. Urban desololation meets retro stylization 

Essentially, I always thought the Gotham of the Arkham games is TAS' Art Deco meets Batman and Batman Returns' gothic, urban nightmares. Shooting in Detroit kind of promises it will not be either of those.

abandoned theatre in downtown detroit
WB should make Clayface the villain of a future movie just so Batfleck can fight him there.
No Vancouver!!!

Goddamn. That tells a story without using a single word.
seriously.
get it done, snyder.
We didn't see the city good enough. First everybody was in panic due to the invasion. Second most of all the buildings were empty and they didn't make the city shine. Not to mention we only saw a few hints of the city. But you know part of the city was destroyed and it will be some modifications done by Lexcorp. Although I have to admit the Metropolis city gave me a real world vibe and I liked it. I wouldn't mind some improvements.His Metropolis was rather disappointing...But his New York in Watchmen was sublime. Perhaps he does the dark, gritty, gothic city better than a sprawling, new age metropolis?
Or it could be that Larry Fong is the one behind it.
How so? Most people would agree the very mention of Detroit immediately echoed sentiments of how a "real" Gotham would look.^^^ I wouldn't be so sure... They're going to film in Detroit, assuming its Gotham they'll need CGI there
Fong, like Amir before him, is there to express Snyder's vision. I'm not going to count on a cinematographer dictating a look because that is rarely the case, and MOS showed us previous films do not count.and for the record Fong's involvement could give us a Gothic Gotham and a improved Metropolis (from the parts it was damaged by the WE) courtesy from Lex Luthor.
Yeah but neither of those are confirmed. the most likely thing is that they're gonna use some CGI. But who knows? We'll have to wait to see some info.How so? Most people would agree the very mention of Detroit immediately echoed sentiments of how a "real" Gotham would look.
I think Fong-Snyder is a previously good combination. But yeah I agree that the last word is from Snyder. I think some good ideas visually speaking will be happening.Fong, like Amir before him, is there to express Snyder's vision.
