To this day, Batman: Arkham City remains a visually striking game. The grand, gothic feel of the comics was well-captured by art director David Hego and his team at Rocksteady. But I’ve never seen the game look quite like this.
These shots, captured by video-game screenshot master Dead End Thrills, go beyond his normal high-res, modded approach. By doing some clever Photoshop magic, Arkham City becomes the setting of a black and white noir photography series. These shots also recall the game’s striking box art, which, sadly, Warner Bros completely ruined in the Game of the Year edition.

Would have loved to see the game done in the style of the watercolours from Hush or a slightly less stylised Timm style or something. Doesn’t need to be super realistic to look very striking and draw you in.
These look very nice, though.
You shouldn’t make assumptions of peoples taste.
Didn’t you know that taste is objective? That way we can make sweeping statements about the arts and never offend anyone ever!
I love the cat + boots one. Mobile wallpaper!
