But the design, featuring Giger’s characteristic mix of biology and technology, proved to be more at home in the Alien universe than patrolling the streets of Gotham City. Schumacher, who most likely wanted to put his own unique stamp on the franchise after Tim Burton stepped down, got a design to match. During the early days of pre-production on Batman Forever, Giger submitted a batmobile design for director Joel Schumacher. Giger, with his nausea-inducing design, is a perfect fit for Alien, but not Batman. Whether it’s the horrific design of the monstrous Xenomorph, or the visceral, ribbed biomechanical exteriors and interiors of The Engineers’ derelict alien craft, Giger helped elevate Alien into one of the creepiest entries in space-based horror. Even director Ridley Scott admits, the film would probably not exist without the Swiss artist’s designs.
Giger is best known for his unsettling biomechanical designs in Alien.
