I haven't seen the movie yet but in an interview I read with Terry Gilliam he said they dutched the angles for the first half of FEAR AND LOATHING IN LAS VEGAS. You might try checking that one out. He said they did it so often that you get an odd fealing when they finally stop at one point in the movie.

There are definitely a lot of dutched angles in Fear and Loathing, in fact I know of at least one instance in that movie where they dutched the SET rather than the CAMERA so that the actors could lean at impossible angles.

Fear and Loathing is an example of dutching used properly--consistently throughout the film to create a sense of unease or disorientation. I've also seen it used improperly in quite a few films. Like zooms, dutch angles create an effect that our eyes aren't used to seeing--no matter what angle you hold you head at, you always perceive the horizon as, well, horizontal. Just be warned that if you do it wrong, you can end up making your audience seasick.

Also keep in mind that comic books, being made of stills, can get away with a lot more effects like this than you can do successfully with a moving image.

The 1966 version of 'BATMAN' is the best example of how to use dutch tilts.
