Yeah, but they just did a quick shot of the bridges only. If I remember correctly they did not show the whole city.
They used the whole city (almost): the North Side, Downtown, and the East End (Oakland). Much of the movie was filmed in the city, not just a few exterior shots. The film's finale takes place at Heinz field and the Mellon Institute. Pittsburgh worked well as Gotham.
Maybe, but I'd have to see it in order to really know. For right now I'd say only Chicago and NY. Funny thing about the Dark Knight, I just assumed it was NY (this was before I moved to Chicago and really had no idea how Chicago really looked) but it hadn't really crossed my mind to wonder what city I was looking at.
Cleveland can definitely double as "Gotham City". We're already the actual home of iconic comic book and movie hero, Super Man. The film industry really likes Cleveland for "super heroes", too .... the 3rd such movie is presently filming in the city right now: Captain America, The Winter Soldier has been here for a month undertaking movie production. The Avengers and its sequel were also filmed in Cleveland, as are many other big movie productions. The city features iconic architecture that fits in with the whole look and feel of the fictional Gotham City.
No, not really.
But in a certain sense, L.A. can only be so considered because it is extremely massive in land area that is built out & filled with fairly dense areas, as opposed to the general type of development that Houston has in a similarly huge land area. Sure L.A. has a lot of geographic relief in the way of hills & mountains that break the feel of the denseness but to me it's a different sort of a Gotham.
Nevertheless, there are only New York & Chicago that represent the old style really huge type of Gotham that I assume the op is talking about.
If Philly were perhaps another 50% larger, it would be pushing toward entry into that select set of true Gothams.
Now I'm sort of confused. There are obviously different ways in which to interpret the word "Gotham" & what it means.
Can the op be more specific? My previous post here was not at all directed toward addressing Gotham in the sense of The Dark Knight film but more in the sense of a city as being a Gotham.
Keep in mind I'm speaking in terms of a city being the main set for the ENTIRE movie. I'm not speaking about a city passing off as Gotham for only one scene.
^ you realize Gotham has an enormous skyline, Correct?
