The Sights and Sounds of Gotham

Harlaxton Manor - Wayne Manor

 

Jimmy Savile will be haunting that place lol it's perfect for Arkham

Culzean Castle for Wayne Manor

 

Alcatraz as Blackgate Prison. Of course it's too well known in the US. But with a little CGI it could work.

 

Something went wrong with my post above. But nevermind. That's Alton Towers in Staffordshire, UK. That building plus some CGI could make some decent Arkham Asylum.

Plus: This old castle lies within a theme park of the same name (http://www.altontowers.com). So if the film crew needs some Joker scenes in an old theme park/carnival - they could also do it right there.

And - this place is not far away from here:

Some ideas for the MCU :

The 1887 19th Precinct Station House -- 153 East 67th Street, Manhattan


NYC police museum


NYC old police HQ


Boston's Police Headquarters from 1925 to 1995


A suggestion for Arkham

The Old Charles Street Jail (Boston)

 

I don't know what thread to put this in, but for the reboot's visual style, I'm thinking of something like this:

While Nolan talked about Blade Runner being an influence on BBegins, it was more so the feel and detail. For the reboot, I think they should emulate the actual colour palette:




or something like so: (Shanghai)

Spoiler

I think something like this would retain the sleekness and modern feel of TDKT while distinctly breaking away from it with a different colour palette; one that matches this potentially shared universe.

One might say that what I'm describing here is merely the Arkham videogames; but for some reason I never liked the style of those games other than the trailers. I think it might have something to do with the ugly lighting in the actual gameplay and the overall art direction, not the style/colour palette.
