Artist Sues Warner Bros. over Batman Forever
Artist Andrew Leicester alleged that parts of Gotham City, the backdrop for the blockbuster film Batman Forever, were patterned after his large scale sculpture "Zanja Madre," installed outside of a Los Angeles skyscraper. Seeing the movie made the British-born artist even angrier, who said his work was denigrated by its alleged association with the film. "They never asked my permission to distort my images for their own ends," Leicester said, "I'd now like them to come up with some equitable compensation for all the work I've done in providing them with an image-laden movie set."
