Why did Nolan depict Gotham so generically...

Live action is not even the same medium as comics & cartoons. I don't go to /lit/ to talk about movies and series made from books. No one goes to Zig Forums to talk about games and comics adapted from movies and series. Stop this meme.

Hack/fraud full of himself

Interested how horror directors like Burton and Raimi seem to be the only ones capable of making a superhero atmosphere that is both good and unique

Even though everyone loves to hate this movie. The set design and general lighting was gorgeous

If you read 69s, 70s and 80s Batman books, Gotham is just a random city. The whole “Le gothic emo city” is a post burton thing

The dark gothic part of Batman goes back to his origin in the 40s and got a revival in the 70s

40s Batman had more in common with 40s neoclassical Chicago and New York’s Art Deco style. 70s comics was just 70s NY. There is nothing “gothic” like 90s depiction of Gotham.

Because horror stories are basically just dark farytales and superhero stories are modern farytales

The look of Gotham didn't really matter in the Nolan trilogy, but I agree that it's among the few things which could have been better.
Gotham's look and Batman's voice...

wrong

Say what you will about that show but the set and production design is absolutely brilliant. The way they depicted Gotham is so immersive and atmospheric.

More importand question
Why the fuck would anyone still live in this city?

It's a catholic church, you dumbfuck

I only watched the first couple of seasons and the gag about Gotham's black market being a fucking supervillain Costco still makes me laugh my ass off. It's the most comic book shit I've ever seen.

It's the opposite of New York, if you can't make it there you can make it here.

deal with it faggot

What are the gun laws like in Gotham City? Hard to imagine people not playing rooftop korean everynight because catwoman robbed them or someone they know once

The city is called Gotham but actually the art design of the Burton movies and Batman TAS is more akin to deco and it´s been dubbed as dark deco. While it is true that originally it wasn´t as extreme as Burton took it one should consider the depiction is the one that makes the most sense considering how extreme Batman is as a character since it´s very origins. He is a hard boiled detective that dresses like a fucking giant Bat. That insanity on itself makes no sense on a grounded environment but it makes sense if Gotham is insanely and extremely corrupt. So, Burton uses the deco because the style and time period 30/40 are inherently associated to the depression and film noir and then took that further, made it more... decadent and mixed that decadense with anachronic elements to take the setting outside of time. It´s because Gotham as a city has personality and is as fucked up as it is that Batman or the Joker can actually exist at all.

It´s the same for Superman, Metropolis is supposed to be the city of tomorrow and embody progress, futurism and the american dream. Without it Superman couldn´t be Superman either. It´s all about iconicity and symbolism. The generic Nolan Gotham just did not cut it.

Because people are stubborn and they want to prove their stubbornness by way of survival.

What's even worse is that Begins has elements juxtaposed in (the Narrows, the deco monorail) that the later films just completely ignore.
