During pre-production for the movie, legendary Swiss surrealist H.R. Giger (best known for his designs for the Alien franchise) created some concepts for the new Batmobile, but of course, they were deemed way too sinister and adult for the kid-and-merchandise-friendly direction the Joel Schumacher movies were headed.
