Wētā FX Presents THE BATMAN

Video on demand

Visual Effects Supervisor Anders Langlands and Compositing Supervisor Beck Veitch present their approach to the VFX for Matt Reeves’ brooding, noir crime thriller. From the high-octane car chase to the stylized darkness of the Town Hall and the Batcave, every detail was designed to build upon the in-camera action and cinematics.
