Batman Angle

Dutch angles were used extensively in the 1960s Batman TV series and 1966 film, where each villain had his or her own angle. Scenes filmed in any villain’s hideout, when only the chief villain and his or her henchmen were present, were invariably shot at an angle departing extremely from the horizontal. This was to show that the villains were crooked.[citation needed]
