08.03.04 || Batman Filming in Chicago!Batman filming in Chicago! Well I was wondering what all the trucks and stuff outside my office building downtown Chicago. Right behind our building is an open lot, and all these trucks are parked there. The pictures below show all the trucks, and also close up of their motor homes, and a video camera vehicle. It looked like there was a camera boom out the top of it, and also a truck with lighting equipment in the back of it. Theres also a bunch of police cars, but their not Chicago squads, so I wonder if there is a police chase or something too. Here's what they are doing here: ""Intimidation Game," Warner Brothers, will be filming all of the exterior scenes for the new Batman film starring Christian Bale as the caped crusader and Michael Caine as his butler Alfred, in Chicago. Interiors were built on stage in England. Chicago will be standing in for Gotham in this version being directed by Chris Nolan (Memento) whose brother lives in Chicago. When the script called for an underground road he immediately thought of Lower Wacker, which brought the project to Illinois. The work has expanded to include the Amstutz Highway in Waukegan and various Chicago area locales for 15-plus days."
