Something I saw while reading a thread.

I heard that the Batpod is actually made from parts of the Tumbler that were left in the wreckage.

[batman1115]

the wheels and how it looks doesnt make any sense on how it would "emerge" from the tumbler. it should just be another vehicle he needs to use when the tumbler blows up or whatever. i guess the batmissle worked ok, but again that's something we have already seen. this is going a bit far.

[Cowleen]

I'm going with what Jimmy said, made from left over parts.

So he puts together a new vehicle mid-chase? :oldrazz:

that would work too. but if watch begins, there is no way you can picture it coming out of the tumbler.

[jimmy]

I don't know if that holds any truth, but it sounds cool. I'm not saying that that is, in fact, how we get the pod, but it's another idea to talk about. . . .

[Crook]

Oh, I get that, I just can't figure out how it's going to work. But that doesn't mean it won't. :cwink:
Wow, that's like, word-for-word, exactly what this girl named Sasha told me in the 4th grade. :wow:

I love the BB chase scene. So, nyah. :oldrazz:
Yeah but you're easily pleased, so like...what-ever! :o

[batman1115]

the wheels are too fat on the pod to match the tumbler. there were no arm guards from what we saw in BB. i am really hoping for the 'make it out of tumbler bits" idea.

It doesn't make much sense physically but it still makes more sense than the alternative. Several people have seen the special Tumbler and one person I talked to chatted with an FX guy. We know the Tumbler is in the same chase as the pod

Best. Image. Ever. TDK is shaping up to be a great comedy. :up:

[batman1115]

at least with batman returns, it was model work, so the batmissle effect seemed real. i think if the tumbler digitally changes, it would not look or feel right.

[Crook]

Have we even seen the Tumbler wrecked? If we're to assume the batpod comes out, then surely the Tumbler "shell" would be found somewhere. Cause if not, then it's entirely possible they're still 2 different vehicles.

I just haven't figured out the "how" yet. :ninja:

the batpod emerging from the tumbler is dumb. we already saw how that effect didnt work in batman returns.

How about SEEING it before we say it doesn´t work?

Yeah, we Earth people are weird...:woot:

[Kleric]

I remember a news report stating that the “Bat-pod” was from the same family of vehicles as the tumbler. (Good morning America)

It stands to reason the Fox might continue to create prototypes to be used for the sole purpose to assist the Bruce. The new Bat-Armor has a slight motocross feel to it. He could have developed them to work together. Who knows how many designs Fox has that were never produced.

With Bruce in charge he has complete freedom to commission what ever he likes.

To be fair, we've seen the ins-and-outs of the Tumbler to presume what's possible to be hidden in the physical space.

Are we sure it's the same exact scene though?

And to be fair, we don´t know what kind of adjustements may or not be made to accomodate the batpod, if that´s the case. People here presume a ton of things are gonna suck before they see it and they work just fine in the movie.

They're using the same exact model from BB though, no? Wasn't that the reason they saved it?

And it's not that people are saying it sucks, just that they don't see how, unless there have been some major changes to the vehicle (which for now, doesn't seem to be the case). But yeah, wait it out. I couldn't care less either way.

[Oryon]

When Batman triggers the mechanism in the Tumbler that makes the seat shift and he assumes a laying down type position leads me to believe that is actually part of the Batpod. The cannons that Gordon shoots in BB may also be the vary cannons seen on the Batpod.

The tires of the Batpod also resemble the tires of the Tumbler.

...and its called the Batpod.

I have no idea how it'll emerge, but I'm sure CGI will make it technically plausible.

[Mak]

From the people that I've talked to in Chicago, the batpod emerges from the tumbler via special effects. The tumbler was wrecked in lower wacker during a late night of filming. One tumbler of the six is built with the batpod. I'm not sure if this means its able to come out but it was clear that the pod was in the tumbler. Also, they are building a 1/3 to scale replica of lower wacker in a studio for the more explosive visual effects.

[Joker'sHenchman]

So he puts together a new vehicle mid-chase? :oldrazz:

No, he doesn't. It literally comes out of the Batmobile like a detachment.

I saw both of them from close, and it could have sense, if they change digitally the rear tires of the Tumbler, the front one of the tumbler is very similar (if not the same) as the batpod, but not the rear ones of the Tumbler as you can see in all the pictures... unless they use the 2 front wheels of the tumbler, that could be

They'll just have another tire stored in the car I think. It's going to be a bit of a cheat though with the way the front attaches


http://batman-dark-knight.moviechronicles.com/2007-08/next-filming-location-joker-semi/

Beginning Saturday, August 11 and continuing through Saturday, August 18, preparations for and filming of a feature film currently disguised as “Rory’s First Kiss” is scheduled at 330 North Wabash. The filming takes place in the lobby, thirteenth and third floors as well as the exterior south plaza. The actual filming dates are: Sunday, August 12 in the lobby (southwest side), Wednesday and Thursday, August 15 and 16 on the 13th floor, and Friday and Saturday, August 17 and 18 on the 3rd floor and exterior.

[mayhem]

I dont think the tumbler has a spare tire there, I think it makes completely sense that it works with the 2 front tires of the tumbler, if you can check the picture of the axis in the tires of the tumbler and in the batpod are the same way, its one part union between the axis and the chasis, so does the tumbler, check some pictures and let me know what do you think

[mayhem]

here is the answer for me:

http://www.comingsoon.net/images/batpod1.jpg

compare with:

http://www.chickslovethecar.com/Tumbler.aspx

check the axis and the tires, in the batpod picture you cannot see it very good, but its only connected by 1 side the axis to the chasis

[sasquatchs]

The rear wheel is attached on both sides though

http://img46.imageshack.us/img46/3471/r33r3rrkn9.jpg


maybe thats only for working purposes and will be eliminated the connection in postproduction.

If you notice in these 3 pictures how the tumbler steers I think we can find the answer:

[batman1115]

batpod emerging scene will be a mess. from the looks of both vehicles, it doesnt fit. someone post a side by side photo so we can debate this further.

[sasquatchs]

Where are those guns supposed to come from? I definitely think it'll come out somehow, but however it happens it'll be a little transformersy. The back wheel looks more like the Tumbler's front one, the batpods front tire tapers off faster

[Herman Laufig]

By the way, Batman sits in the tumbler and on the batpod in a similar posture (in BB when he shoot missiles) if i remember correctly...

[mayhem]

I can see how they can do it, if the tumbler is semi destroyed, you can use the 2 front wheels, each one by separate, if you figure out one turning 90 degrees one side and another in the other way it will look like the batpod and make sense, of course I dont think everything can be done like a transformer, for me it would need some time in the batcave.

Maybe some old pics for some of you, but not for me, the making of the tumbler:

[itsthebatman]

So he puts together a new vehicle mid-chase? :oldrazz:
He's there sitting in the middle of the wreckage, with a greasy rag, spanner and a few spare nuts and bolts, whistling away as he outs together a new vehicle.
'This is gonna rock! On the other hand, Alfred is gonna beat the s*** out of me when he sees what I did to the tumbler.'

[sasquatchs]

There should be an Alfred screen in the Tumbler, that's what this franchise is missing.

I can't really go along with your ideas Mayhem, we've seen video of him chasing the semi both in the Tumbler and the pod. It'll be a mammoth chase but probably won't last the several days needed to build it from scratch

maybe Im wrong, cos I dont have all the info, do you have that link? I didnt know that the tumbler was involved in the chasing...

[MechaOrga]

Im a little worried personally about the BatPod "emerging" (geez i feel dirty) from the Tumbler. The two wheels of the Pod are the front two wheels of the Tumbler so just short of the Tumbler doing an Optimus Prime I dont know the logistics of this emerging scene.

I like the idea of Bruce putting together the Pod out of a broken Tumbler thus setting up Fox to create another car in the next film tee hee.

Or like someone said maybe Lucious Fox has this already made and says

"oh the bat Pod?"
"oh you wouldn't be interested in that"

yep, I saw that one, is true what you say, but my point is that the tumbler is not involved in the chasing scenes recorded in the financial district of chicago, LaSalle st, so for me seem that those scenes are in different time in the movie, not in the following scene...

btw lucius (morgan freeman) is in town, so maybe they are gonna record part of that transformation, that I still thinking it cannot be possible during the chasing scene, it should come in some other moment in the movie, but thats my opinion

what do u think?

In my opinion, the only attachment the batpod has to the Tumbler is the steering mechanism and part of the cockpit. The wheels are hidden within the Tumblers chasis.

..and lets face it, the batpod emerging from the Tumbler is very Batman-ish.

Is that the e-mail to contact him?

[bosef982]

It took everyone this long to remember the sides where the cop seems to be releasing or interrogating the Joker. It seems that this is a false victory for them and probably just another scheme cooked up by the Joker to cause more problems. In fact, I bet Dent takes credit for the Joker's arrest and then has to take the heat of his escape. Also, the Batpod/Semi sequence obviously occurs in the middle of filming....

[willis]

Yes, I do believe that e-mail is for the contact Gary.

My girlfriend Jen forwarded this info to me (I think she got it from a neighbor), anyways I just wanted to point out that I don't actually know any of these people personally...

So is the big parade/funeral going down on the 24-26?

[Redd]

So is the big parade/funeral going down on the 24-26?

I believe so.

When they did a casting call for police officers awhile ago they were asked to work on the 26th to the 28th. The call also asked for bag-pipers and that they "want to make this scene look as real as they could"

The only time that police officers and bag-pipers come into together for something is when it is for a funeral or some kind of celebration.

[Nepenthes]

Just an idea, with no basis whatsover....

But what if Joker is arrested, and then sprung from the police station by a surprise ally? Explosions, massacre, a bunch of cops die and Joker is on the loose again. Then he crashes the funeral because he just can;t help coming back for more. Comic villains don't usually do this kinda stuff, it would be pretty evil.

Orrr the funeral could be held for all the people who died in the Joker's breakout.

[Redd]

True, that could happen.

But most likely it will be a funeral of soem kind.

[Redd]

But here is my theory on who the funeral is for.

I think that it is for commisioner Loeb. The Gordon gets promoted to Comissioner for all of his good work with handling the Joker and everything.

[Bond]

I think it's Loeb too but I'm just spek-yuh-lay-tun.

[Redd]

yeah me too

[Dvhyzs]

yeah me three.:woot:

[Phoenixfaith]

Anyone have any idea where the funeral scene will be filmed?

[General Vulcun]

Here's a theory on the Batpod.

We heard before that Batman would be escaping The Joker after Joker f'd with him real bad, causing him to abandon the Batmobile and dive into the river for safety, right? Well, back in Begins Lucius Fox said that "during combat, two of these would jump over a river, towing cables"? Then that means that a second one must've been made in order to test out the bridge (Fox: "we never could get the damn bridge to work...").

So what if Bruce goes to Fox, explaining what just happened, and incase it ever happens again, he'll need a way of escape. Fox would then take the 2nd Tumbler and modify that one to fit in an escape pod, which Batman is seen driving in the semi truck chase. What if the Tumbler that Batman was driving in part of that chase the 2nd one and not the original Tumbler at all?

Anyway, what do you think?

I like the Batpod theory.

As for the funeral scene, I have no idea. They may do it in a cemetery or in a church.
But if there are bag-pipers there then I think it will be held outside.

Anyone have any idea where the funeral scene will be filmed?

Does anyone know who the funeral is for? I saw pictures for some sort of rememberance thing for Dent. I don't see Dent dying in this, unless they think he dies.

[Juanigi]

must be some kind of special transforming cape

[1981]

That cape doesn't look like the one from BB....

You can tell from the back of the neck. He obviously can't turn his head in the suit above. In the new suit, the neck is smaller.

[Dvhyzs]

The cowl is definately the same...



AMH is batman's transforming cape

Oh I can definitely tell the suit is from BB, not the cape though. In the pic, it looks glossier/shinier, which was never apparent in BB's cape.

[Nepenthes]

it also hangs differently. the BB cape didn;t have those kinds of folds,

[Crook]

Odd that they kept the old suit, but brought in a new cape.

At least it's an improvement. :huh:

[Dvhyzs]

the cape looks like leather, can't be the memory cloth.

[Nepenthes]

hhm the BB cape was one of the best things about the suit, imo. i guess we'll see what this is all about.

I'm more interested in what the designer said about the TDK cape, "it does something"

[Crook]

hhm the BB cape was one of the best things about the suit, imo. i guess we'll see what this is all about.

In terms of functionality, I agree.

I thought it looked terrible though. Didn't mesh well with the rubber suit, it's difference in color just made it look tacked on. Not to mention it looked like a tablecloth you left in the attic for too long. :o

That is a different cape and that's obviously the BB suit as well.

This shot is from the opening scene of the movie involving Batman capturing the Scarecrow I believe.

[dark_b]

so the BB suit in TDK will ahve a new cape.but the new TDK suit will ahe the old BB cape?
yeah the cape from the first officail pic of TDK had the BB cape. it was not shiny.

[Darknightnomis]

IF you read the one page article in Entertainment Weekly when they introduce the new suit, there was a description of each indivual part and how they function as a weapon for Batman.

The designer of the suit made a comment about the cape doing somthing "special" but wouldn't tell what it would be. So I'm guessing this cap may be the one that have some trick to it that the memmory cloth one did not.

[MAKIEVELLI]

In terms of functionality, I agree.

I thought it looked terrible though. Didn't mesh well with the rubber suit, it's difference in color just made it look tacked on. Not to mention it looked like a tablecloth you left in the attic for too long. :o

Same problem with the TDK suit in my opinion. They should make the suit darker to match the cape more.

[dark_b]

Same problem with the TDK suit in my opinion. They should make the suit darker to match the cape more.you mean they should made the suti less shiny or the cape more shiny right?
you cant do darker then black :woot:

[MAKIEVELLI]

you mean they should made the suti less shiny or the cape more shiny right?
you can do darker then black :woot:

Here's a theory on the Batpod.

We heard before that Batman would be escaping The Joker after Joker f'd with him real bad, causing him to abandon the Batmobile and dive into the river for safety, right? Well, back in Begins Lucius Fox said that "during combat, two of these would jump over a river, towing cables"? Then that means that a second one must've been made in order to test out the bridge (Fox: "we never could get the damn bridge to work...").

So what if Bruce goes to Fox, explaining what just happened, and incase it ever happens again, he'll need a way of escape. Fox would then take the 2nd Tumbler and modify that one to fit in an escape pod, which Batman is seen driving in the semi truck chase. What if the Tumbler that Batman was driving in part of that chase the 2nd one and not the original Tumbler at all?

Anyway, what do you think?

Your theory makes good sense sir :up:

[ultimatefan]

fox is not a mechanic.

Fox was clearly heavily hands on on the development of the project, he sure seems to know the car inside and out, wouldn´t be a big problem.

[ultimatefan]

You know what, I heard a ton of theories on these boards on how The Tumbler wouldn´t work, that it wouldn´t steer, wouldn´t be maneuverable, wouldn´t be fast, etc. and in the end it proved all those "experts" wrong, so forgive me if I prefer to see how it´s done before I judge it, which as I know isn´t a popular attitude here.

So you think that he literally and physically helped build the train? If so then....I don't know what to say to you, man.

[jtfaria]

surely you're not taking that literally?

Means what it says. Fox can help get things built. Whether that is by means of holding a wrench or directing those who can is fairly immaterial. Want a means of transportation built? Fox can make it happen. That's all Bruce (or anyone) needs to know.

[sasquatchs]

It just means he managed the project. Although they might make him out to be some kind of engineer in this one. Hoping he doesn't become the go to man for all solutions or help out too much from a sciency standpoint this time. As long as Bruce does some of it now there's time. I'd prefer some business plot from him than gadget guy

[bstringer]

hey guys on a completely unrelated topic, over at comingsoon.net theres a poll on the bottom right of the page. It asks, which film has had the Best Viral Marketing so far, and the results right now are the J.J Abrams film at 48.9%, The Dark Knight at 48.8% and Wall-E is somewhere way lower than both. But the point is, we all know TDK's Marketing is the best, Bar None... Now, everyone get over there and vote for it! :D

www.comingsoon.net hurry!

[peteagassi]

This is off topic, but had to get it off my chest.

I don't understand why people want a more sporty, penis-looking batmobile! Let me paraphrase Nolan here: Back in the 30's and into the 60's cars never looked like how the batmobile was represented; It was sleek, had fins, and looked down right unusual. That sleek look was great for that time. The batmobile was always meant to be this unusual, scary looking, but still cool machine. However, in todays world, a sporty, sleek car isn't unique; every damn car today is sporty and sleek! So, to make the batmobile extraordinary in today's terms (2007) it makes sense that the batmobile would be a military prototype, and adopt a more juggernaut, armored look. Hint, hint: all batman's gear, including the costume, is connected to military prototypes. Nolan is a man with brains. He's logical...so sit back and relax-and let the man do his job.

Why the hell do you guys want to go watch filming!? Just wait til the movie comes out! You do a disservice to the filmmakers, the crew, the fans, and the general public by prancing around trying to catch a glimpse of filming. Look, do yourself a favour and get a job. Chris Nolan and co. are working; it's their job. Quit farting around, and do something for yourself. Why don't you go make a movie instead of interrupting someone elses movie. When you run around with your camcorders and cell phones trying to get vids and pics, the crew people probably look at yall, and think, "These guys are such losers! They need to get a life!" Nolan's trying his best to hide TDK secrets, and you dumb asses are trying to expose it. Do the man a favor, and leave him alone.

3) the crew members and cast have previosuly expressed that they enjoy all the interest and appreciation that have recived while filming the dark knight here in chicago. Hence how they don;t mind taking pics with all the people they see hanging around the set and they have recived minimum interuption.

Sorry to say, Peteagassi does have a damn good point. I don't mind all the photos and vids we've been getting but if you really love the art of film, he has a point saying to actually make one yourself.

[peteagassi]

Think about it, if Nolan just hung out on these boards after he graduated, we would never have got all his great films. Nolan didnt go to film school; he studied English at UCL. Just because you went to film school doesn't mean crap; you have to do something actively, yourself.

I believe they have switched to day shoots now. And are supposed to be over at the Old Post Office for some interior stuff. Might make it hard to catch stuff.

Also....
"Beginning Saturday, August 11 and continuing through Saturday, August 18, preparations for and filming of a feature film currently disguised as “Rory’s First Kiss” is scheduled at 330 North Wabash. The filming takes place in the lobby, thirteenth and third floors as well as the exterior south plaza. The actual filming dates are: Sunday, August 12 in the lobby (southwest side), Wednesday and Thursday, August 15 and 16 on the 13th floor, and Friday and Saturday, August 17 and 18 on the 3rd floor and exterior."

Hope that helps.... :yay:

How can you say the scene will be a mess? You have no idea how this will happen yet, or even if it will happen that way. There very well may be CGI extensions involved etc. Any number of factors are undetermined here and you are jumping to ridiculous conclusions.

Friday and Saturday, August 17 and 18 on the 3rd floor and exterior.I hope the noise from the air & water show wont be a problem for filming. The actual show is on Sunday the 19th, but the jets always practice the few days before.

Not always, if someone has been insulting (like this punter here), it's possible to get offended without it meaning you secretly think he's right. I'm not hanging round the set (being on the other side of the Atlantic Ocean and all) but still got pissed off when I read petagassi's original post, just smouldering with self-righteousness, he can go take a long walk off a short pier.

Does anyone know an approximate time that the shots at 330 N Wabash will be filmed at? I know they're interior shots but I would like to hang around just in case. Also, are there any locations where they have stored stuff for a later scene (such as tumblers, bat pods, gotham city signs, etc)? My kids are 6 and 9 and I would love to be able to show them a little piece of this movie.

I'm a long time lurker here and I wanted to register to send out a big thank you to all of you who have provided such great information. :heart:

Alright everybody, here is the score:

Went by the Old Post Office and it is certainly buzzing with activity. There are trucks going in and out and a lot of people milling around outside. With that being said, filming is definitely happening inside so there is not much to see unfortunately. All of the actors trailers have been moved down to the end of serivice road underneath the bridge. Also, there are big air conditioning units outside that are pumping air into several upper floor areas. My guess is that is where they are filming.

Sorry, not too exciting.

They still have the "Gotham Police Department" sign outside of the Old Post Office. Might be cool for the kids to see. They did have the tumblers stored under Wacker but I don't know if they have moved. They also have a bunch of Gotham Police Cars in the lot adjacent to the parking garage on Randolph, again, don't know if they moved them since I last checked. Good to see you are raising your kids the right way... with Batman!!! lol

Does anyone know what they are going to be filming next weekend?


Not yet.

[Redd]

Someone near the post office....ask a PA how long they will be there today? Chances are they might stay til 7-8-9-10pm filming stuff. If you can get anywhere near the trailers see who's names are on them and you'll know who is there.

Even if you get close enough to see the trailers on to see the names on the trailers, they have fake names on the trailers for the actors.
Liek on one of the trailers they have the name "Jean Peirre"

I think they are doing this to protect the actors privacy.

[ChicageauxTiger]

Isn't the Candy Factory going *Kaboom* next week?

(NOTE: This was my understanding/guesstimation and I could be VERY wrong)

Jean-Pierre is the Batpod stuntman lol. I think they have been putting real names on, at least they were. Some of the smaller characters are pretty cryptic names though

Trust me, you can't get to the trailers. They are behind a gate down at the end of a service road beneath the post office/bridge area. You wouldn't get past the gate.

I thought so too... but it turns out now that that may not be the case. Sadly..

Why? What's the new word on that?
It ain't ever happening or just not happening now or what?

Yes, but things going BOOM! are always fun, especially when it is Batman

You're only missing a bit of gloopy sugar water on the floor, sadly its closed down. But the only place I've seen the candy factory rumor is on a photographers site ages ago, not sure if it gets more solid than that. Don't think there's been any other sources

[Cowleen]

ya, brachs has been abandoned for like 10 years or so.

[Robyn623]

They still have the "Gotham Police Department" sign outside of the Old Post Office. Might be cool for the kids to see. They did have the tumblers stored under Wacker but I don't know if they have moved. They also have a bunch of Gotham Police Cars in the lot adjacent to the parking garage on Randolph, again, don't know if they moved them since I last checked. Good to see you are raising your kids the right way... with Batman!!! lol

:yay:

Thank you! We'll scope out those locations. Seriously, I'd be happy just to see a sign...LOL. We are a big superhero family so seeing some of this stuff is exciting for all of us! Can't wait!

[typeorocks]

If you have a high power camera you can get a good view of the lot next to GPD sign. Just go to the parking garage across the river... Not sure what there is to see maybe just cast or something.

Here is a view I got from that garage back earlier this summer

I don't see the view..... :csad:

[wd golf39]

peteagassi is a dork... he is probably a PA from the crew and is sick and tired of people taking pictures and videos of the shooting. if you dont like what we are doin in this board, go somewhere else, "but dont come down here, you think cuz your mommy and your daddy got shot you dont have anything to lose. your bruce wayne, you'd have to go 1,000 miles away for someone who didnt know your name."

idunno where i was goin with that one, and i might of screwed the lines up a bit but i liked that part in BB. and peteagassi made me really annoyed.

I see it now. But the trailers are not up in that lot. They are down along that road in front of it underneath the bridge and so forth. I don't think a good vantage point is possible.

[rory_bat]

I love your sig, rory.


Thanks very much :woot:

[Redd]

Now I see it!

[Phoenixfaith]

Alright everybody, here is the score:

Went by the Old Post Office and it is certainly buzzing with activity. There are trucks going in and out and a lot of people milling around outside. With that being said, filming is definitely happening inside so there is not much to see unfortunately. All of the actors trailers have been moved down to the end of serivice road underneath the bridge. Also, there are big air conditioning units outside that are pumping air into several upper floor areas. My guess is that is where they are filming.

Sorry, not too exciting.


Where exactly are the actors trailers now? Not near Franklin and Randolph anymore?

[rory_bat]

I don't know if they have moved them from there or not, but there are a bunch down the service road next to the parking lot at the Old Post Office, underneath that bridge.

Hmm I wonder if anyone can swing by the old Base Camp on Randolph and Franklin and see if there are any trailers left there?

I might be able to when I leave the office today. I'll see what I can do :cwink:

And btw, it is tough being a 23 year old Batman fan working in an office with people much older that are not Bat fans!!!

Ha I hear you!!! but I'm slowly converting everyone to fanatic status in my office. I think they think i'm crazy becuase from these boards I basically have all the info and when someone even mentions a question about the shoot I go off into a tirade with all the info.

[Redd]

I know exactly how you guys feel. I feel like no one gets me when it comes to Batman.

I can't imagine them moving all of the Actor's trailers for a scene that's only gonna be filmed there for 2 weeks or so, but I could be wrong. I would see no good reason to pick up and move the entire Base Camp from Franklin and Randolph, they've never done it before, have they?

Thanks for the info on the new road and location though Rory :yay:

Random question here. I asked it earlier and no one answered me. :csad:

Does anyone know what scenes they were filming on the 39th floor of Hotel 71 the week of July 4th? I was there and took some pictures, but never knew what scenes they were filming. There were alot of SWAT guys there and I know Gordon was there too. I wasn't sure if this served as Bruce Wayne's penthouse or if that was somewhere else?

If someone had any info I'd really appreciate it! Thanks!

I think you were the only person who got near it. Don't know if the SWAT/Batman stuff was separate, there is supposed to be a scene where Joker crashes the party with Batman intervening, so they could be the same scene. Did you see this photo from Boatman?

http://i201.photobucket.com/albums/aa180/sasquatchs/boatmanbatman7707ot2.jpg

Supposedly the SWAT rapelled down the building another night, but no-one actually saw it

I think I was one of the few who got as close as you could get. I was under the impression they were shooting 2 different scenes. The night I was there, the entire crew was INSIDE, where it looks like they are shooting outside here. Sas, do you think the inside was supposed to be part of the 'Penthouse' scene or was that shot in another building?

[Chessh2036]

Best Actor/set expierence yet? Who do you guys think has had the best one yet? Tell your stories!

I got to get up to the 39th floor of the Hotel 71 set, the security lady was eating and not even guarding the door :). I also saw Christian Bale and Gary Oldman.

Im sure people got alot better than I did though.

They filmed a party scene at the penthouse set a few buildings down the road from that hotel. Didn't you say there were party guests during that interior scene there or something? The bit to the right looks like Bruce's bedroom, I'm assuming it's a different part of the same scene, could be wrong though.

Im sure people got alot better than I did though.My story is the same as a few others here. Camped out near the base, got to see 4 SUVs in a row with Bale, ledger in make up, Ekhart(who cheered us back), and oldman(who then came over to us talked signed a few autographs and took a picture.

Yes. I assume this will just be one scene meshed together. Or they are using a couple locations for the penthouse and they will mesh them together with the magic of movies. Then I assume the SWAT/Batman stuff outside of the Hotel will be used for something different.

You walked up the stairwell to the 39th floor? Wow. Did you actually see the set up there? What did it look like.

I was able to get to 38 and see the boarded up hallyway, but with tight security I couldn't get any father.

[Phoenixfaith]

Best experience for me so far has been the Eckhart encounter because he was alone and sitting right by my hotel so I had to do no work to get to see him and talk to him and he was a really damn nice.

The second would be last week when a friend and I ran against a light and Heath's SUV had to slow down to keep from hitting us. He pointed a white finger out the window to scold us and shook his head, smiling (with his own teeth). Yea getting scolded by the Joker was pretty ****ing rad.

[regwec]

Phoenixfaith is reliable. She has posted up pics of her with Nolan and Eckhart, so we know she is actually out there, and around the set and actors.

Please go on: what was he wearing, did his makeup cover his whole face and neck, was his hair green etc?

Your patience is appreciated. The fullness and honesty of your answers are of paramount importance!
