The Dark Knight What Happened to ... Wayne Enterprises, the Monorail

[GRangerPrimeNYC]

Noticed a lot more Monorail tracks in TDKR, but they're severely unnoticeable. Why bother even putting them in. Why not also add them in major shots, like the tumbler, batpod, bat chase at the end...

 

[The Joker]

You can see it in TDK, too, in the exterior shot of Wayne Enterprises.

 

[cjimene8729]

ok nice then

 

[Snow Queen]

Not sure if this was brought up yet but on a recent viewing, I noticed that you can see the Monorail in the shot moving towards Joker on the street corner in the prologue. It's off in the left corner.

 

[shauner111]

Yep. The monorail is there in all 3 movies.

Nah, that's just a regular elevated subway in Chicago, not the monorail.

 

[Snow Queen]

Nah, that's just a regular elevated subway in Chicago, not the monorail.

But this isn't Chicago, it's Gotham. So, unless Gotham also has an elevated subway and a monorail, I'll see it as a segment of the monorail in another part of the city.

 

[GRangerPrimeNYC]

The design of the elevated subway in Chicago is completely different from the Gotham monorail lol, even the elevated tracks.

Unless Gotham has both a monorail and a subway.

 

[GRangerPrimeNYC]

Ugh, too bad these were the only instances where the monorail system was seen in TDK and TDKR

They could've feature them more prominently during the chase scenes and the quarantining of Gotham.

Okay. I didn't see it up that close. My bad.

 

[SpiderCool]

It seems like a good method of transportation. Yet it is hardly seen.

 

[BatmanGoesToRio]

They did such a good design job with Gotham in BB. The Narrows, the monorail, the whole atmosphere. The city felt believable but very unique at the same time. I'm wondering why they didn't continue that in TDK and TDKR.

Probably cuz they kept going for the uber grounded and realistic look.

Ugh, Batman Begins Gotham was the best and the original Wayne Tower

 

[BatmanGoesToRio]

Those Gotham pictures of Batman Begins are just beautiful.

I understand why there were no Narrows in TDK but in TDKR they should have made a comeback.

 

[shauner111]

Because the story didn't call for it.

 

[BatmanGoesToRio]

Maybe. But it would have looked cool. You know, style.

 

[The Joker]

Because the story didn't call for it.

For once we agree. How about that

Unless it had a purpose, leave it out.

Then the story should've called for it d:

 

[Green Goblin]

Is Gotham done in CGI in Begins and in the latter two it's not?

 

[Roderick]

Damn, Batman Begins really did nail on location. I wish Arkham had played some sort of role in the sequels, oh well though.

 

[Fudgie]

Is Gotham done in CGI in Begins and in the latter two it's not?

Nay only the Narrows. The Narrows is the only diff between Begins Gotham and TDK's. Rises is like New York and Pittsburgh.
