Jan 12, 2011 | Justin Moody | Movie News

For two movies now, Christopher Nolan has had his Gotham in the form of a CG augmented Chicago skyline. Now, with his latest outing in the “Batman” franchise (as a director, at least), it looks like the Dark Knight may take wing in another city, much to the displeasure of one Chicago resident (hint: he’s writing this article).
