"THE DARK KNIGHT RISES" TO BE FLIMED IN PITTSBURGH

When I was in Pittsburgh last weekend for Tekkoshocon I could not help but think "This would be great place to shoot a Batman movie".

Well it appears I'm not the only one who thinks that.

It's official. "The Dark Knight Rises" is coming to Pittsburgh this summer to film the third installment in Christopher Nolan's spectacular franchise starring recent Oscar winner Christian Bale in the title role.

"Pittsburgh is a beautiful city," the London-born director said in a statement. "We have been able to find everything we were looking for here, and I am excited to spend the summer in Pittsburgh with our final installment of Batman."

Pittsburgh is going to be a great location for Batman. The city really has the "look" of a Batman film.
