Color Correction
Just curiosity, I wanted to know if every movie that is made (at least in this modern day and age) is color corrected/graded, be it digital, or film.
I'm researching as much as possible about color grading, as I'm trying to learn how to color and light my projects correctly, and would be interested if anyone knows the answer to my question. Thank you.

I don't work in post grading department at the studio but I'm 99.999 percent sure that the major studio films get CC/CG in the post.
I ve seen some indie movies don't have post coloring for various reasons.

You would be correct. And though the methods and technology may have changed, it has been going on for a very long time.

At the very least, there would be grading to get all the clips to match. Even if lit/shot perfectly, sometimes on the timeline two clips next to each simply look like they were shot at different settings.

Yes.
Unless the production can't afford it, in which case they probably can't afford to get seen at much more than the very local (see: free) film festivals.

In 20 years, I've never been involved in a project which wasn't graded. Even quite low budget TV shows are graded.

I heard Nolan's Batman are not graded much. That look is like stock film.

Nah. I'd be surprised if they weren't DI'ing, and even if they weren't they'd at least be getting a Best light, which in itself is colour grading.
With a one light or a DI you'd need to grade, though it was quite possibly just a matter of sticking some gamma and contrast back in.
With most DPs you'll find they get the image they want on set, so that in the grade it's a matter of tweaking slightly and adjusting mostly gamma and contrast to get the blacks black. That's still grading.

Batman wasn't DI'd... it was color timed photochemically.

Yet there was a lot of visual effects with or without green screen, how do they make their visual effects without a DI ?
