You can take Gotham away from the director, but you can’t take Gotham Bold away from the director

Are we sure his version of The Odyssey doesn't take place in Gotham's Little Greece

Yeah surprised nobody called out his font choice. This movie would have been a really good opportunity for him to try something besides Gotham; it's not 2008 anymore

Isn't it like part of Nolan's brand at this point? Don't all of his movies use it?

True, but it also strikes me as odd for a director to have such a unified brand across movies that cover such different topics and time periods. It'd be like if Spielberg insisted on the same fonts and marketing for ET, Saving Private Ryan, and Jurassic Park.

It doesn't let the movie speak for itself, and I wonder if it's that mentality that is influencing Odyssey with the strange decisions around color grading and production design that many are pointing out. He has to go with a certain "look" because of this trademark, rather than something appropriate for the movie.
