So What's the Deal, Pittsburgh?

It's all about one thing in business:

Location, location, location.

You won't need to tell that to Chris Nolan as he scouts his locations for TDKR.  Pittsburgh, a recent addition to the rumored list of possible cities to appear in the movie as Gotham, was taken off the rumored list almost as quickly as it had appeared.  Here's the scoop:  as soon as Pittsburgh wasn't a major online interest to the online community, Nolan himself appears there with his team looking over (what some believe to be) a map of the city.

That is a fact.  That happened.

Here is where the rumor kicks in.  The rumor is that the so-called "map" Nolan and his team were looking at was directing them to possible scouting locations within Pittsburgh to film some areas as Gotham.

So what's the deal, Pittsburgh?  Are you first jumping the gun by releasing some privileged info, then immediately retracting the info saying it's false, then going ahead and releasing a photo of Nolan in your city while on "business?"

Here's what I think:

I believe Pittsburgh will have a scene or two in Rises.  It's as simple as that.  Shooting starts in just over two months, so Nolan needs to not be selecting possible cities and needs to be selecting areas within cities.  He needs to be finding the rights scenes for the backdrop, not the silhouette of a skyline.  Those days are long since passed.

Let's all anticipate the Caped Crusader himself to fall into the Pitts.
