Not only that, but IMO this city and set designs here looked a little more "lived in" than Nolan's movies. Nolan is a fantastic director, but I've noticed a lot of his choices for set designs are very clean and aesthetically pleasing. His Gotham City just seemed like Chicago or NYC depending on which one he was filming in. The old 90's Batman Gotham seemed either over the top dark and creepy or over the top cartoonish, depending on the director.
All of Nolan's movies have very well polished environments and interior designs.
This new Batman film was a nice hybrid between Nolan's take on Gotham and the Tim Burton's take on Gotham. I thought this world seemed grittier, darker, and scarier than Nolan's version of Gotham City.
