Just saw the newest incarnation of the Batman movie, "The Dark Knight " on IMAX. And Chicago looked absolutely fantastic. The mythical Gotham City, long assumed to be an allegorical Big Apple is unmistakably based on Chicago....Chicago is the Gotham City.
Compared to the last Batman movie, the cinematography of Chicago skyline in this one is awesome . I loved how there wasn't just your typical emphasis on the older buildings. Much of Chicago's modern architecture was showcased. All of the action scenes and street scenes were all authentic Chicago. And you can easily recognize the buildings in Laselle street & Wacker drive. You can even see a Startbucks store in few scenes too. There is a lot of Trump Tower and IBM building in the movie and I believe the Board of Trade Building is Wayne Tower. Below are some of the pics from my last trip to Chicago
