Remi Noel may be a French photographer, but he has been enamored by the American lifestyle and has decided to channel this interest through a fun and quirky photo series starring none-other-than Batman himself. Of course, this Gotham city crusader isn't the real deal, but a toy that was 'borrowed' from Remi Noel's son. He writes, "I did a photo, then two, then three, and it became a series. So it isn’t my sole series, but it’s one of my series."
Shot entirely in black and white, Remi Noel's Batman series sees the superhero doing some chores, getting into sticky situation and just exploring his surroundings. The latter is only natural since Remi Noel travels to the States a lot himself. He reveals, "I take Batman with me to feel less alone. And I take him out--I set him up in scenarios."
