I want a Joel Schumacher cameo.





























But insert his face in the superhero dummy.

Guys, this is an obvious indication that Batman will be sporting Black & Yellow in the new movie.

You know what it is.

Thought this might be of interest to some of you.

Bah, already a member of that site. I thought they had posted jobs for TDKR. Thanks Miranda

I've been to Pittsburgh - it struck me as a very small city. If they use a lot of establishing shots the CGI guys will be busy adding skyscrapers.

You're welcome, Yurka!

This city really does look gorgeous... I can see why Nolan wished to shoot here.

I particularly like the bridges and huge rivers.

Chicago was great... but this just shows that Nolan is not willing to make any creative sacrifices for the sake of continuity or trivial details... and I appauld that

 

[Spidey 2007]

For anyone who's been to a Pirates game in PNC park at night with appropriately angled seats toward the city... Think about that sight as your gotham. Its absolutely breathtaking.

I have plenty of pictures I could show, but they are on another computer, ill have to transfer them over to show you guys how amazing the new gotham could look. Especially at night.

 

[Octoberist]

NYC is shooting the fall, right?

So it'll be a mix of both.

Which is the more beautiful city though - Pitts or Chicago?

 

[Yurka]

Pittsburgh duh.

Not even trying to be biased but I think Pittsburgh is a better looking city, I've never liked NY , love Chicago though.

I also like the fact that having gotham as multiple cites really puts it in a league of its own. It cant be identified as "Just Chicago" or "just Pittsburgh" theres so many different elements all rolled into one to make a truly exciting gotham. With New York in the mix as well.

A truly great artist utilizes all the tools available at his disposal, and Nolan sure knows how to do that. The perfect blend of CGI and Practical effects and stunts, IMAX cameras, the combination of cities to make a unique gotham... Its a very special treatment for any movie let alone Batman.

Now speaking from street level, does Pitts have the 'never ending look' or can you see where the city limits end and where the suburbs begin? (Which means heavy CGI or creative camera angles)

 

[Yurka]

Depends what streets you're on, obviously. Downtown is very narrow due to the rivers so there are certain streets that look never ending but most face east towards the burb areas.

 

[Octoberist]

I see b/c it seems like Downtown Burgh is probably slighter bigger than Downtown San Diego.

 

[Yurka]

Oh I dont think so, my brother lives in San Diego so I've spent a good amount of time there. PIttsburgh feels alot smaller due to the roads, IMO. There really arent many massive 4+ lane roads like you find in NY or Chicago. The downtown area of Pittsburgh isnt very big at all.

 

[Octoberist]

ahh. so everything is just more closely built to the roads.

 

[Octoberist]

Let's post some nice Burgh pics here!

Maybe.. Keaton will get a cameo since they're filming in Pitt

J.K

 

[Yurka]

NY's ok, I just have a bunch of family who lives there so I guess I associate them with NY so I dont like it I do like Chicago's skyline more than NY's though. NY's just waaaayyyyy too big for my liking.

And if Keaton has a cameo that would be unbelievable, he could be all like "Whats wrong with your voice?"

 

[craigdbfan]

Wiz should have a cameo

That should so happen.

Or even better have Black and Yellow playing in the background while Batman is kicking some ass.

Then have Wayne say:

"Taylor gang or die!"

Also if the Batwing is in this they should play "This plane" while Bats zips around in it.

I may have missed it, butis there any word when filming begins in Pittsburg? Sorry if this was already stated and i just missed it

July.

 

[Rayne]

I live in Pittsburgh (blocks from Downtown) and I'm geeking out about this. I have roof access from my loft apartment so I'll be spending some nights up there! I also have 2 or 3 pretty decent contacts in the local film scene and have feelers out. I'll post any info I come across here as long as it doesn't get me in trouble! This is a dream come true for me...can't wait till late July!

 

[Rocketman]

Something striking about Pittsburgh is how much it looks like the Gotham from Batman Begins:
