It totally suited the Gotham we were trying to portray. Loucks: Detroit is an amazing city-incredible architecture and a legacy of the major industrial city it once was. SET DECOR: You filmed mostly in Detroit! And a bit in the Chicago area…Tell us about that experience… But I won’t lie, the script took a huge change of direction at that point and I felt it made the story richer, darker and more nuanced. Many of our original concepts were scrapped as characters developed and the worlds developed in different directions. Loucks: The rewrites were happening constantly and, in fact, before his screenwriter Chris Terrio came on, we had worked with at least 3 other scripts. Had you already started purchasing, building? Did you have to scrap anything? SET DECOR: There was a hiatus when Ben Affleck came aboard – a major script rewrite/changes. His mid-century modern lake house, while luxurious, is simply furnished and time-worn.

The tools are all used and worn, including the computer screens. You will notice the Batcave is a well-used place showing signs of wear: auto oil, soot and grime from years of running a car and Batwing in an underground space with recycled air. Production Designer Patrick Tatopoulos and I worked to visually translate that by taking the polish off of the worlds Bruce Wayne inhabited…home and work…his everyday world. Set Decorator Cal Loucks SDSA: Zack envisioned Batman to be portrayed as an aging, jaded and damaged hero. SET DECOR: Tell us about the making of this film! Loucks and Tatopoulos give us in-depth insights into the darker depictions of today’s Gotham and Metropolis and their conflicted heroes…and perhaps a hint or two of what might come!

With Batman and Superman at war with each other, a new threat quickly arises, putting mankind in greater danger than it has ever known before…Ĭollaborating with Director Zack Snyder, Producer Chuck Roven, multiple writers and major shifts, Production Designer Patrick Tatopoulos and Set Decorator Carolyn Loucks SDSA, Director of Photography Larry Fong, Costume Designer Michael Wilkinson and their teams in several locales created a distinctively new representation of the superheroes we have come to know and love…and their beloved environs! Fearing the actions of a god-like superhero left unchecked, Gotham City’s formidable, forceful vigilante, Batman, takes on Metropolis’s most revered, modern-day savior, Superman, while the world wrestles with what sort of hero it really needs.
