Matt Reeves' noir-inspired take on Batman features Robert Pattinson as a detective-driven Dark Knight in Year Two of his vigilante career. Greig Fraser's cinematography draws from 1970s noir classics like Chinatown, The Godfather, and Klute, using silicone-covered lenses to simulate rain and grime. The production employed StageCraft virtual production technology — which Fraser helped develop for The Mandalorian — to create consistent golden-hour lighting inspired by Wong Kar-wai's In the Mood for Love.
