There was such excitement over Tim Burton’s first Batman movie or Beatty’s Dick Tracy because one guy wore a bright yellow suit and another guy wore a bright green suit, and the table between them was yellow! Yellow, I tell you! Suzuki’s palette, costuming, and set design provide the marks to which yawny comic book movies occasionally aspire.
