H.R. Giger was a Swiss artist and industrial designer. Joel Schumacher chose Giger to redesign the Batmobile for Batman III. This design was never finalized, only four rough conceptual sketches were completed. It was quickly abandoned, deemed too radical and too difficult to realize at the time.
The design ultimately used was done by Tim Flattery. All of the vehicles, including the Batboat and Batwing along with Jose Fernandez's Sonar Batsuit in Batman Forever were inspired by Giger's "biomechanical" aesthetic.
