San Francisco as Gotham City

How cool is this?

Experimenting with black and white film-making and time lapse, Toby Harriman figured out a way to turn San Francisco into Gotham City. It's a perfect example of how composing shots and using music turns a very identifiable city into a whole new one.

“Silent Knight…Unholy Knight!” — Michael Uslan and Dave Bullock, from Volume 4

Silent movies were undeniably an influence on Bill Finger and Bob Kane’s creation of The Batman. One silent film in particular was especially formative: the 1926 film The Bat, from which the pair took several elements that defined the Dark Knight. (See this ”web page“, which looks like it was created by a sixteen-year-old in 1999, for more.) In “Silent Knight…Unholy Knight!,” Uslan and Bullock acknowledge that influence with a silent-film-with-a-comic that really manages to capture an odd mood; a synthesis of the silvery flicker of film and mechanics of sequential art. As an era-appropriate Bat-Man hunts down the villainous Unholy Knight, Bullock’s copious use of brilliant white space, delicate brush-lines, and nuanced sense of light and shade really seem to give these pages a little of the fuzzy shimmer of the early silver screen
