Did I tell you they are filming the next Batman Movie- the Dark Knight- in Pittsburgh? Among the locations for the shoot, the building across from here (CMU's Biology department) is being used to stage a giant fight scene outside the Gotham City Courthouse . In mid winter. Even though the rest of us are standing around in shorts and flip-flops, it is snowing on the great columns and the fighters below.
I also got to see the New Batmobile- the Tumbler they are calling it- all three of them.
One of the buildings downtown had a Bat Signal broadcasting from it the other night. It's all very exciting.
Traffic is completely messed up, but mostly people are really excited that this project is being filmed here.
