Was this done intentionally?

In the scene where Lucy and Mina talk to each other before bed about meeting Dracula you an see the bat-like silhouette coming off of a lamp near by. Was this done intentionally for the film or is it just me?

EDIT: Here's a still photo from that scene, http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-S1SoQS7e7ew/Txiem2kOGAI/AAAAAAAABpQ/lV1ItqOQ fio/s1600/Dracula-2.png

I noticed that, as well. Surely it was intentional?

Yes it was intentional and don't call me Shirley

Nice. I've never noticed that before.

Noticed this last night, very interesting. There are two instances of this during this scene. The bat like images match the bat symbol during the opening credits.

Apparently Batman was needed to prevent vampire infestation... so the signal was sent.
