3. Color Balance: This node enables fine-tuning of the color balance. Adjust the shadows, midtones, and highlights separately to achieve the desired color palette. For a Batman-inspired look, consider cooling down the shadows with a slight blue tint while maintaining warm tones in the midtones and highlights.
4. Saturation: Control the overall saturation of the image in this node. Depending on the specific Batman-inspired aesthetic you want to achieve, you may choose to desaturate the colors slightly to create a moody atmosphere.
5. Secondary Corrections: Use this node to isolate and correct specific areas or elements within the image. Employ masks, shapes, or tracking to target specific regions such as the subject's face, product details, or background. Fine-tune the contrast, color balance, and saturation in these areas to ensure they stand out and contribute to the overall impact of the advertisement.

Pay attention to contrast: The Batman movies are known for their high contrast visuals. Use the Contrast Enhancement node (Node 2) to stretch the shadows and highlights, creating a more dramatic and cinematic look. Be careful not to push the contrast too far, as it should still be visually pleasing and retain detail in both dark and bright areas.
Use a desaturated color palette: The Batman movies often feature a desaturated color palette to create a moody and gritty atmosphere. Adjust the Saturation node (Node 4) to slightly desaturate the colors, giving the video a more subdued and stylized look. Experiment with different levels of desaturation to find the right balance for your project.
Play with color balance: In the Color Balance node (Node 3), you can manipulate the shadows, midtones, and highlights separately to achieve the desired color palette. For a Batman-inspired look, consider cooling down the shadows with a slight blue tint while maintaining warm tones in the midtones and highlights. This can create a striking visual contrast and reinforce the dark and mysterious atmosphere.
