Looking at that causes me to wonder, has there ever been an intellectual property that has been represented by so many rides at so many different parks?

Batman: The Ride set the bar at its lowest for rides based on movies. It had the Batmobile parked out front and, well, that's about it.

Not all of them.

The first one in Chicago had a Gotham city park as a queue. At the back end was a missing section of fence. From there you were underneath the subway and you hear subway cars going overhead. There was a police car crashed into a fire hydrant with water spilling out. When you get to the end of that line, you enter a tunnel with a slow-moving fan blade at the end with the red light behind it and fog coming out. Going up a flight of stairs, you enter the bat cave and board the ride. It was actually pretty elaborate for Six Flags park.

Great Adventure, St. Louis, Magic Mountain's Version also follow that aspect...Over Texas you go through Wayne Industries....It was such a shame when they removed the majority of theming after 1999...All of the graffiti, trash strewn about and the ride operators dressed as butlers made it a full blown themed attraction when it opened at Great America.

The decor of those rides left everything to be desired. It was based on the movie directed by Tim Burton which had memorable Academy Award-winning production design. They're idea of theming was to have some grass and slap a "Gotham City Park" sign. It looked nothing like Batman. The Goofy ride has better decor.

I saw photos of one exterior that actually resembled the city from the first movie.

It's probably the St. Louis version as they had a "Movie" Themed area at one point..

It's Six Flags theming at its best. Grab an old car from a junk yard, a bunch of sheets of corrugated metal to line the walls of the queue, and fill any empty corner with an industrial waste barrel. Better yet, the longer they neglect it without painting or landscaping the more it looks decrepit and overgrown thus more themed!
