In 2011, a drawing of the AT&T Building – alongside images of iconic structures from Tennessee's three other large cities (the Memphis Pyramid, Knoxville's Sunsphere, and the Tennessee Aquarium of Chattanooga) – was incorporated into the standard design of Tennessee's state-issued driver's licenses. In August 2009, the French online business journal Le Journal du Net named the iconic 'Batman Building', or as the article names it 'La tour de Batman', one of the 12 most original office buildings in the world. What happens inside the building drives the way the outside looks.'

Richard Miller, the president of architectural firm Earl Swensson Associates, said of the design process: '.at the time we did that wanted a signature piece of architecture. Its distinctive design and dark coloration have earned it the nickname 'Batman Building', due to its resemblance to the cowl of superhero character Batman. It features a three-story winter garden atrium as its foyer and has a nine-story underground parking garage with 1,300 vehicle capacity. The building sits on 2.7 acres (11,000 m 2) of property on Commerce St between 3rd and 4th Avenues North, and has a footprint of 1 + 2⁄ 3 city blocks. It is currently the tallest building in the state of Tennessee. The structure is designed as an office tower capable of housing 2,000 workers. The AT&T Building (formerly the South Central Bell Building and BellSouth Building, also colloquially known as the Batman Building ) is a 617-foot (188 m), 33-story skyscraper completed in September 1994 and located in Nashville, Tennessee.
