Wait.
New York? Nolan wants to film NYC with snow on the ground? But what about Chicago? Well, I suppose NYC could have a few spots not recognizable as the Big Apple. Maybe there could be shots in the dark alleys and the pits-
You're kidding.
Pittsburgh?? Okay, I'm pushing to believe that Nolan is going for every city with even the slightest resemblance to his Gotham vision. Next we'll hear news that Seattle, downtown LA, and Philly are all in this list as well.
Here's what I think. Nolan has only one city he's planning on using. So how does he keep the wild fan-base at bay? If we've learned anything from the Prestige, it's misdirection. You wave your hand over New York City, drawing all of the attention away from where you truly intend on shooting. That does beg the question "where does he plan on filming?"
Well, two cities I'm 95% sure of. Chicago was in the other two films, so by default, it's there. The most plausible rumor I read about was Detroit. It has dark and dismal locations that would easily show the darkness encompassing Gotham in its time of trials and tribulations. It's also not too far from Chicago, much closer than NYC and much less of a tourist trap.
This doesn't mean that Nolan will only use the said cities. There might actually be a chance that he will intentionally use every rumored city that appears on the Internet, just like there's a chance that an asteroid will fall from the sky and kill all of the dinosa-...oh...wait...
In either case, I'm going to wait in anticipation for the next rumored city to be named. My pick is Seattle, so let's see where that takes us.
