India-based photographer Arjun Menon decided to make the best of the COVID-19 lockdown and combine his passion of comic book characters with photography. Some of his past projects included the Terminator, Predator, Joker, Batman, Killer Croc, Bane, Wolverine, and lots more. His goal was to simply turn simple items like cheese graters, ice cube trays, and even air filters, into cinematic scenes. What was really challenging is getting those items to match the scale of the action figures.
For this shoot, he had to find the appropriate Batman action figure, along with parts from different computer cases, rechargeable batteries, lights, air filters, fans, and even a muffin pan. Once everything was set up, he had to find the right perspective before starting the shoot. Unfortunately, the cape wasn’t quite long enough, so he had to photograph it separately.

Each and every thunderbolt is shot separately with the help of light painting on long exposures. Matching colors was an easy process since I tried to get it right in the camera itself with comparisons to reference,” said Arjun.
