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...)

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.

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.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

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.

If you decide to join those who do, be aware there are several thousand people ahead of you in line. And some of the Baleheads make the Kittens look sane by comparison.

Well, I value my life, and stalking's way too much work, anyway.

That's the pain / That cuts a straight line down through the heart / We call it love
Saw Hot Fuzz tonight and laughed myself sick! Holy crap, that was hysterical. Didn't hurt that one of the cop-movie tropes they send up is the buddy-cop bromance. (Also doesn't hurt that Simon Pegg is a total cutie.) But mostly, it was just awesomely funny. Thanks to everyone who recommended it here, since the trailer didn't really hook me, and I might have missed it were it not for you!

Seriously, this is the only movie Simon Pegg has ever been hot in. He took his action movie star role physique very seriously!

I saw Hot Fuzz tonight, and BLESS.
I want to draw pink sparkle hearts around it, hand it a pint of lager, and watch Point Break with it. (And none of that's exactly a spoiler, but it does ref the movie, so.)
I think this is love.
