ᐅ Cost-Effective Idea for a Batcave Garage

Dear forum members,

I am new here and hope I am posting in the right section.

I am planning a new (concrete) garage and would like to create something as impressive and elegant as possible. I imagine a dark poured asphalt floor, painted walls, and especially a large-scale yet energy-efficient ceiling lighting (possibly recessed into the concrete ceiling). My example – which always makes everyone laugh when I mention it – is the Batman garage from The Dark Knight.

Of course, this is probably just a bit of fun and I am not an expert in lighting.

My specific questions are:

a.) Is there an affordable and cost-effective way to achieve something like this? The garage measures 5 x 5.5 meters (16.5 x 18 feet).
b.) Would such lighting typically be installed as a suspended ceiling or embedded directly into the concrete ceiling?
c.) Are there any clever solutions or ideas to implement this without using square LED lights (like those I have found on Amazon or other sites)?

Thank you very much for your help and advice.

Best regards,

But keep in mind that the garage door will most likely open upwards, which can significantly affect the convenience when driving in...

There are also illuminated stretch ceilings. Just as a suggestion.
