Mauro's Adventure Watching THE DARK KNIGHT RISES Batman Movie Filming in Newark, New Jersey

Check out these fun pics shared by a Bat-Blog Fan named Mauro. He works just a few blocks from where they were filming THE DARK KNIGHT RISE Batman movie and he got some great pics! Mauro wrote,

"Lots of GCPD cars and SWAT TEAM trucks were on the street and I got to see Anne Hathaway briefly with Christian Bale. They were shooting their scenes underground in Newark's really nice tunnel system, inside the subway. Most of the above street area has been converted to "Gotham City Transit System" Subway Stops and there were about 100 Cops all over the place in Official GCPD uniforms. It was a lot of fun to see it all set up and I took some pics of with me with the film-prop cars. I also got a photo of Christian Bale walking to his escort car. He was walking pretty fast so I could only get a shot of his back, he was dressed as Bruce Wayne with a black trench coat."

Wow Mauro! Thank you for sharing your fun photos & your story. I gotta admit I am totally JEALOUS! ( Ha Ha! ) But I do appreciate your thinking about the Bat-Blog & these pics are great, that's awesome! I can't wait to see this new Batman movie!

More THE DARK KNIGHT RISES Batman Movie Filming in Newark, New Jersey

The other day we posted some photos here at the BAT-BLOG.COM from our friend & Ace Bat-Reporter BATDAVE. He traveled to where THE DARK KNIGHT RISES Batman Movie was filming in Newark, New Jersey & got some fun pics. Well, Batdave had to leave early but his friend Don stayed behind and he got even more pictures for us ( Thanks Don!! ).



The first one is a very pretty girl expressing her political support for the movie by holding up an "Occupy Gotham City" sign!



Next up is an actual photo of Don. He spotted one of the many "Gotham City Police Department" Movie Prop Vehicles that were up & down the street. I like the expression on his face. To me it says, "Yeah, I'm gonna come back later tonight & STEAL this thing!" ( Ha! Just kiddin' Don! But you know you were thinking that for a few seconds, ha! ) Then we get a great view of one of the GCPD Utility Trucks.



You might remember our previous post where we shared "Fake Signs" that were all over the street making it look like a real Gotham City. Well, here is a Transit Sign of Gotham's Subway System. Wow! What detail!!

BATMAN ARKHAM CITY - Advertising Propaganda Spotted in Mexico City!

Check out these cool photos sent in by our friend Diego, who lives in Mexico City. He said that 2 guys were spotted the other night driving around town in a pick-up truck with "Gotham City Police Department" graphics on the side. In the back was a huge projector & they went around projecting a few images onto the sides of buildings. They included: The BAT-SYMBOL LOGO, The BATMAN ARKHAM CITY Logo ( with Release Date ), and one for the RIDDLER announcing the Riddler's Mexican Twitter Account, @3NIG_MA. Wow! How cool is that?! ( Muchas Gracias, Diego! )

Rick's Totally Insane BATMAN THEME Tattoo Artwork!!

Check out these wonderful photos sent in to the Bat-Blog by an extremely serious Batman Fan named Rick. I mean, this guy totally loves the character! To prove it he has had a ton of tattoo work done all over his body. The artwork is very well done & covers many different themes of the character. You have different comic book logos, many different villains ( The Joker, Penguin, & Riddler ), a few variations of Batman himself, the GCPD (Gotham City Police Department) Blimp, The Joker Card, & even a "POW! & BAM!" from the 1966 TV Show! WOW! I wanna thank Rick for both sending in these great pics & for being such an awesome fan...that's cool! Now a question for our readers, Do YOU have any bat-tats? Well, if so, then please shoot us some pics, thanks.
