I thought it said it was from the same producers, or maybe the same production company, which really means nothing. Probably why I looked at it and went "bleah."
You're nice, and you're funny and you don't smoke, and okay, werewolf, but that's not all the time. I mean, three days out of the month, I'm not much fun to be around, either.

Buffista Movies 5: Development Hell
A place to talk about movies--old and new, good and bad, high art and high cheese. It's the place to place your kittens on the award winners, gossip about upcoming fims and discuss DVD releases and extras. Spoiler policy: White font all plot-related discussion until a movie's been in wide release two weeks, and keep the major HSQ in white font until two weeks after the video/DVD release.

The evil is this way?
They are filming some of the "Batman" sequel here in Chicago. (Because Chicago naturally looks just like Gotham.) And they sorta, kinda, set fire to the place -- well part of it. The story is a wee bit spoilerish about some general plot details, like the identity of costumed bad guy and one of his capers.

hey! They were supposed to be filming that in B'more. My friends and I had big Bale stalking plans. (Maybe they are still going to film some of it here...we definitely have some Gotham-looking bits.)

It does in the current movie Batverse -- they filmed the first one there too.

S to the A -- using they/them pronouns!
I was going to say, that movie always makes me wonder what it would be like if Gotham *was* Chicago.

That's silly, because Gotham = NYC, Metropolis = Chicago.

Gotham = NYC, Metropolis = Chicago.
This is weird to me, I would have pegged them opposite. (I'm not a comics reader, though, so my viewpoint may be skewed...)

I haven't stumbled across the Batman shoot yet (oh, unless those dudes were setting up cameras for that and blocking the sidewalk and annoying me while I was trying to get to Water Tower Place), but I know quite a few people who have.
I shouldn't stalk Christian Bale, right? Right.

Righ-- no wait, why not?
The Gotham in the current movies is geographically where NYC is (and seems to have the same basic arrangement of islands), but is really really obviously shot in Chicago. For me, anyway, the architecture and look of the streets gives it a much stronger Chicago vibe than NYC.

What Jessica said. Cognitive dissonance. But at least it's pretty cogdiss.
