Sebastian Magnani’s Daily Bat – Back To The Future (2022, C-Print) situates the Dark Knight in a breathtaking alpine landscape, transforming the figure of Gotham’s vigilante into a solitary wanderer of timeless terrains. Standing on a rocky outcrop, Batman overlooks a vast glacial valley that winds dramatically through the mountains, bathed in the shifting hues of twilight. The horizon glows with gradients of gold, violet, and deep blue, casting the scene in a cinematic light that feels both majestic and contemplative.

Here, Magnani fuses the myth of the superhero with the grandeur of natural history. The glacier, emblem of time’s inexorable passage, becomes a metaphor for endurance and change, echoing Batman’s own cultural longevity as an archetype of resilience. The title, Back To The Future, underscores this temporal dialogue—suggesting a return to elemental origins while pointing toward uncertain horizons.

As part of the Daily Bat series, the work epitomizes Magnani’s ability to reframe cultural icons within unexpected environments. By removing Batman from the chaos of Gotham and placing him in sublime solitude, Magnani reveals not only the absurdity but also the humanity of the character—an eternal figure dwarfed by nature’s immensity, standing at the edge of time itself.
