Many Batman followers are going to flock to the theaters.  Well thanks to these Batman enthusiasts my website became an instant hit, so I feel I owe them something.  As I promised before, here is a nice condensed form of all the Batman Begins filming pictures in Chicago I took back in August of 2004. There are many things I&#8217;ve posted about these pictures, and if you click the picture below there will be more of a description there also.  Well for those who don&#8217;t know that Batman Begins was partly filmed in Chicago, on Lower Wacker, you have a lot to learn, for the others, who know what\u2019s going on, check out the pictures.<br \/>\nAlright, it all started when I was looking at the vacant lot outside my 101 N. Wacker office building last year, and saw all these motor homes and other trucks and buses.  Well I soon found out Batman was filming in Chicago!  These pictures are from August 2nd, 2004.<\/p>\n<div align=\"center\"><a href=\"http:\/\/bmfphil.com\/znews\/224.htm\" target=\"_blank\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/bmfphil.com\/znews\/224-batman-bigT.jpg\" width=\"90\" height=\"67\" border=\"0\"><\/a> <a href=\"http:\/\/bmfphil.com\/znews\/225.htm\" target=\"_blank\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/bmfphil.com\/znews\/225-truckT.jpg\" width=\"90\" height=\"67\" border=\"0\"><\/a> <a href=\"http:\/\/bmfphil.com\/znews\/226.htm\" target=\"_blank\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/bmfphil.com\/znews\/226-motorhomeT.jpg\" width=\"90\" height=\"67\" border=\"0\"><\/a> <a href=\"http:\/\/bmfphil.com\/znews\/227.htm\" target=\"_blank\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/bmfphil.com\/znews\/227-police-carsT.jpg\" width=\"90\" height=\"67\" border=\"0\"><\/a>\n<\/div>\n<p>Realizing the hype this was bringing I didn\u2019t want to let any one down and tried to keep up with what they were doing.  Being that the movie was filmed at night, and I live two hours away, there really wasn\u2019t much practical sense for me to be there when they were actually filming, but I did capture the vehicles used during the day.  This is when I noticed superherohype.com had linked me, and many Batman fanatics were flocking to my site to check out the pictures.  So August 12th I captured a few more pictures of the Gotham City squad cars and other filming trucks.<\/p>\n<div align=\"center\"><a href=\"http:\/\/bmfphil.com\/znews\/228.htm\" target=\"_blank\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/bmfphil.com\/znews\/228-GPDT.jpg\" width=\"90\" height=\"30\" border=\"0\"><\/a> <a href=\"http:\/\/bmfphil.com\/znews\/229.htm\" target=\"_blank\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/bmfphil.com\/znews\/229-lot-overviewT.jpg\" width=\"90\" height=\"59\" border=\"0\"><\/a> <a href=\"http:\/\/bmfphil.com\/znews\/230.htm\" target=\"_blank\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/bmfphil.com\/znews\/230-Light-truckT.jpg\" width=\"90\" height=\"59\" border=\"0\"><\/a> <a href=\"http:\/\/bmfphil.com\/znews\/231.htm\" target=\"_blank\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/bmfphil.com\/znews\/231-GPD-squadT.jpg\" width=\"90\" height=\"59\" border=\"0\"><\/a> <a href=\"http:\/\/bmfphil.com\/znews\/232.htm\" target=\"_blank\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/bmfphil.com\/znews\/232-SwatT.jpg\" width=\"90\" height=\"59\" border=\"0\"><\/a> <a href=\"http:\/\/bmfphil.com\/znews\/233.htm\" target=\"_blank\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/bmfphil.com\/znews\/233-swat-squadT.jpg\" width=\"90\" height=\"59\" border=\"0\"><\/a><\/div>\n<p>The filming crew was quickly in and quickly out, so it didn\u2019t leave me much time to get pictures of what they were doing.  The last day I was there that they were around was August 16th.  So that gives you a little story behind the capture of these pictures, and maybe you\u2019ll see a few of these in the movie if you go see it.
