Kudos to Wally Pfister who combined 35 mm and Imax 65 mm to depict the Caped Crusader's latest adventure. This marks the first time a featured-length narrative film has combined 35mm images with Imax footage. The production carried four medium-format Hesselblad lenses: 50mm, 80mm, 110mm, and 150mm; favoring towards the 50mm. The 35mm material was sot with Panavision cameras, two Millennium Xls and a Platinum.
He also provided some choice locations for the film. The first 66 days of the shoot took place in Chicago, mostly on location. Much of the story plays out in bright, vast spaces, uncluttered expanses that emphasized Batman's solitary nature; which played onto practical lighting sources. Existing fluorescent were augmented by new high-output fluorescent fixtures.
The special effects were amazing in this film. For the tunnel collision scene the special effects team prepared o miniature truck and drive for a collision with a remote controlled Batmobile in a scaled model tunnel.
