Next Batman to shoot in Pittsburgh, not Chicago

April 6, 2011

"Batman Begins" and "The Dark Knight" were both shot in Chicago.

"The Dark Knight Rises" begins filming in Pittsburgh this summer.

Crews and various enterprises brought more than $50 million to the local economy.

Nolan once lived in Chicago and showcased various landscapes, especially during stunts and night settings. But our town will get another superhero -- a new Superman movie, produced by Nolan starts filming in the city and suburbs in August.
