The Dark Knight Rises

We had to laugh when we heard this story about the filming of next Batman movie “The Dark Knight Rises” with Christian Bale. According to Merle Ginsberg at The Hollywood Reporter, a huge location shoot was set up in downtown LA and residents are accustomed to shoots, so they rarely pay attention. But this scene featured the appearance of the futuristic Bat-copter that zigzagged through “Gotham City” rigged up on cables. The outrageous craft, flying low, attracted all kinds of attention and curious apartment dwellers stuck their heads out the window to gape. Producers realized it would be costly to remove all those heads in post-production and actually considered asking people to keep their heads inside! THAT notion didn’t fly, so the looky-loos will have to be deleted later. (Above, Batman in another hopped-up vehicle)
