The Batman Look Power Grade

This power Grade can be imported into Davinci Resolve to achieve a similar look to the 2022 film 'The Batman'.

The Power Grade uses the built Davinci Resolve effects, so non-studio owners will have to disable the nodes that are not part of the free package and will have to compensate using the free tools or a plugin that contains similar effects.

When applying this power grade to footage, you may find it sometimes unbalanced as all footage doesn't have the same exposure or contrast. To fix this, it would be best to configure a node before the power grade by adjusting the LGG until you find it balanced and accurate to the film's 'look'.

As a disclaimer, this is a power grade that is supposed to be utilised as a base and not something that should be slapped onto footage in hopes of it getting the same aesthetics as 'The Batman'.

For the installation of this power grade to operate correctly, the film print LUT provided must be put in the LUT folder in Davinci Resolve.
