Parkview Square & the Feishu
If Batman moved to Singapore, he would dig a cave under Parkview Square, below the underpass and the nearby MRT. During the day he would conduct business on the top floor, just below the art deco gargoyles on the facing and above the 3 story tall wine cellar and the Austrian Embassy.
At 144M (472 feet) in height, Parkview Square looms over the buildings in its immediate vicinity, providing a Art Deco façade that brings a hint of Gotham to the downtown core. The interior is opulent, matching the best of the Art Deco interiors in Miami. The exterior is far darker than the surrounding buildings, cladded—according to Wikipedia—in granite, bronze, lacquer, and glass.

Adidas Feishu
Listing anything by Adidas seems like cheating. There are other, more boutique shoe design outfits (such as SBTG) that are native to Singapore. At the same time, I haven’t seen these shoes in the US, and they are cheap (a rarity for Adidas) and appealing. After spotting them, I found out that the shoes are intended for competitive table tennis. Now I’m off to find some custom table tennis paddles (I am sure that someone makes these: by all rights they should be like skateboard decks.)
