Interesting Note regarding the shrouded character....

In June, 2007 I attended a wedding in Chicago with my wife. On the day of the wedding we noted the signs for "RFK"...the code name for Rory's First Kiss...the alias for The Dark Knight. That Saturday evening we watched the extras file in and out of the ground floor of an office building for what was...

[SPOILERS] Production in Pittsburgh

I attended the Heinz Field filming yesterday and totally enjoyed the experience. A question regarding the film crew: For the most part the extras were directed by a person other than Nolan.

Creepy signs set up in Pittsburgh

Ominous signs have been going up in downtown Pittsburgh. I doubt a religious holiday connotation...too creepy looking. I've been told of film crews.

Good point goodfella

AJR....

great to hear from you. You deserve much credit for that heads up photo back in February.

To the naysayers

Hey Vader and all you naysayers...... Pittsburgh will be a fine Gotham City. Frankly, I have often thought it reminds me of many northeastern cities....from Boston to Chicago...only the downtown is smaller.

Possibly Tuesday. Any co...
