Though the film uses the closing sequences of Batman Forever as a springboard for its story, the look resembles the Gotham City seen in Tim Burton's Batman and Batman Returns. From the neo-gothic architecture, lighting, and the batsuit itself, the film pays homage to those on-screen environments. The formal wear used for most of the citizens, for instance, was for connections to the wardrobes and costumes in those films, including Batman: The Animated Series which took similar influence. The Riddler's look was inspired by depictions from comics, film, and television. His technical expertise within Batman Forever influenced his lab in Revenge, including the Chair, a deadly followup to his previous, sinister invention of the Box.		Filming began on October 17th, 2003, pre-production beginning earlier that year. Similar to live-action movies with animatics, two stop-motion animations (pictured below) were filmed to help pave the way for principal photography. The first showing was on December 12th, 2003, which was the 14-minute film along with additional minutes of batmobile animations, raw footage, and deleted scenes. Three cuts of the film have been released, each having the same narrative. The original 14-minute film, made without sound effects, was followed by the 12-minute "Director's Cut" which trimmed parts of the film, color-corrected scenes, and added sound effects to accompany the score. Then edited for specific short-film guidelines, the 6-minute "Special Edition" cut followed, an abbreviated version to the longer releases.

The batsignal seen illuminating the night sky was accomplished by creating a custom image composite using picture editing software, printing it on glossy photo paper (pictured left), lighting it by three flashlights at particular angles and each with different intensities, and then placing the paper with enough distance between it and the elements in the foreground to create the illusion. This, along with natural lighting also used, produced the effect for the scene as Bruce Wayne looks out before suiting-up as Batman.

Filmed using the LEGO Studios camera in 2003, while the equipment offered a positive experience, the lower resolution required other programs be used to achieve higher quality playback. Though picture quality would improve, software available at the time had many limitations. A documentary on LEGO Studios can be viewed here, with footage of Batman: Revenge in the video's LEGO Studios Showcase. (Pictured Right) Screencap comparison before-and-after the remastering		For the 20th anniversary of the 2003 premiere, an extensive remastering was completed on the Director's Cut, Special Edition, teaser, and film clips. To achieve the desired results, multiple film and image editing programs were used with a scene-by-scene approach rather than a quick, one-application- fits- all process. Including rendering, hundreds of hours were spent to bring the footage to full HD.
