The Dark Knight Rises OFFICIAL: Batman in the Burgh

Love it. It definitely reminds me of Chicago. I'm sure the differences won't be too apparant. These places could be just different places in Gotham anyway. I think Nolan just creatively ran out of places to use in Chicago for Gotham.

It kind of sucks. I got accepted to the Art Insitute in Pittsburgh. But I wouldn't be able to start until October. If they were filming for six to eight weeks in July, I would never have seen any action there anyway. I'm not going to AI anyway, so no biggie. Although I was hoping I'd get to see them filming.

My sister has just received a job in downtown Pittsburgh! Im gonna be heading there this summer to catch some TDKR filming. Ill def have a camera, and keep you guys updated on what I see/hear

Many fine folks have come out of the woodwork to accept accolades for being instrumental in bringing the final installment of the Batman Trilogy to Pittsburgh. There are rumors circulating, however, no one person is responsible. A building is. The ability to explode the Civic Arena and use the footage for a key scene in the movie may have been the key bargaining chip that brought The Dark Knight Rises to Pittsburgh. A series of deals, behind closed doors, between The Pittsburgh Film Office (PFO), Governor Tom Corbett and the Sports and Exhibition Authority of Pittsburgh (SEA) may have sealed the deal and brought win-win situations to all parties involved.

I believe it, it will be incredibly sad to see the Igloo go, but if its gonna go out, it better be in a Goddamn Batman movie

 

[Octoberist]

Let's say that DKR IS indeed filming in NYC too; does Pitts remotely look like NYC so it can seamlessly blend in the two cities?

 

[Yurka]

It depends where theyre filming, but I'm sure they'll have no trouble with it.

 

[Longwire]

Pittsburgh has buildings, avenues, architecture similar to both NYC and Chicago. Smaller, more compact? Yes. The ability to blow-up an iconic 50 year old domed arena? WOW!

 

[Rayne]

I live 6 blocks from the Civic Arena. You bet your ass I'll be there when they blow it up!

Hell yea, I love the place but by ALL MEANS, blow the **** out of it Nolan!

 

[NHawk19]

Are any locations actually confirmed though? The arena's been speculated for a while now.

 

[Miranda Fox]

Any guesses as to what the Civic Arena will be in the context of TDKR and why it gets blown to smithereens?

I thought it might kill some of the boredom before filming starts.

 

[Hurm...]

Does anyone know what the schedule is? Pittsburgh than UK? Or what?

None that I know of, Nolan was on Smithfield st. when he was spotted, and theres an old abandoned school that they were rumored to be interested in, thats as far as I know.

I think it will involve Bane will be trying to get Batmans attention.

Pittsburgh for 4-6 weeks starting in July, Im not sure about other schedules

Let's hope the explosion goes right so we don't have to see a miniature version instead.

The new Spider-man film shot a lot of its scenes on LA. It was mostly street level stuff. No need to use the skyline of every city you film at.

Hopefully they can round up all the Steelers fans in there too b4 they blow it t:

 

[Yurka]

Youre from Ohio, I expect you to be bitter

Youre from Ohio, I expect you to be bitter

OSU fans are just as annoying its not really an Ohio thing

Sidenote im hoping this stadium scene invloves Bats and Bane involved in an intense Escape from NY style boxing match. That or Bats has to make 10 baskets or the stadium will blow up

 

[Doctor Jones]

I'm getting flashbacks to Wolverine with Logan having to fight the Blob. Good Christ.

 

[craigdbfan]

 

[Hurm...]

Will.I.Am...

[the Wankstar]

Maybe theyre trying to redo that scene from TDK in Hong Kong that was abandoned because of pollution. Plane flys over the stadium with Bane in it, he venoms up, jumps out and Matrix Revolutions into the ground causing the stadium to collapse

 

[Longwire]

...which can provide a skyline backdrop. Somthing very cinematic in a Nolan kind of way.

 

[the amazing fro]

That scene was so ridiculous it felt like a farce.

Which pretty much sums up the entire movie.
