Soundstage of the front lot of Universal Studios, in Universal City, built in 1928 and bearing building number 468. It measured 199 feet long by 146 feet wide and 49 feet high, covering approximately 29,000 square feet on the ground, and water tanks were installed beneath its concrete floor. Once nicknamed the "Back to the Future stage," it was demolished in January 2020, along with the surrounding production offices.
The scene : The Penguin's underground lair was built on a refrigerated soundstage at Universal, to accommodate the real penguins used in the shoot.

Hennesy Street is a permanent set street in the backlot of Warner Bros Studios in Burbank, California. Built in 1935 under the name "Frisco Street," this horseshoe-shaped street was once called "Tenement Street" before being renamed in the early 1980s in honor of set designer Dale Hennesy, who died during the reworking of the set to which his name is still attached. Its architecture recreates the Lower East Side of New York, featuring brick facades, metal fire escapes, and shopfronts. Still standing and well-maintained, it is among the outdoor sets presented to the public during the Warner Bros Studio Tour. One of its fire escapes also served as the backdrop for the album cover photograph of Prince's Purple Rain.
The scene : The streets of 'Gotham City' borrow notably from Hennessy Street in the Warner Bros. backlot.

Brownstone Street is the oldest section of the Warner Bros. studio backlot in Burbank, California. Built in 1929, it constitutes the studio's first permanent outdoor set: a residential street inspired by New York, lined with brownstone-style buildings featuring stoops, upstairs apartments, and garden-level units. The timeless character of these facades makes it one of the most sought-after backlot sets for film and television. In 2002, the street was renamed 'Ashley Boulevard'. It remains in use today and is among the oldest standing studio sets in Hollywood.
The scene : The streets of 'Gotham City' also borrow from Brownstone Street.
