EDIT: Chicago not New York, I had ques­tioned this but it had seemed plau­si­ble what with the NY 2007 Licens­ing show which had the Bat­pod. Sorry for the mis­take guys. 

The news keeps “tum­bling” in, this time we’re get­ting reports of Bruce Wayne’s tum­bler, aka the Bat­man Begins Bat­mo­bile. It’s turned up in CHICAGO, ready for film­ing. Here are some great shots:

The spy cam­eras, cell phone shots and Chris­t­ian Bale voyeurisms con­tinue to pour in. This time Sarah Piper Brown snapped these shots with her phone on June 16th at a Chicago set.

The nov­elty and inter­est in shots like these will soon dis­si­pate so I shall not be post­ing all of the candid-back-alley pic­tures or videos received, I feel it may be dam­ag­ing towards the integrity of the film and will inevitably be incred­i­bly spoi­lerific.

Right place at the right time man Yunerz has snatched some shots of Mag­gie Gyl­len­haal and Aaron Eck­hart play­ing Rachel Dawes and Har­vey Dent respec­tively, right next to his place of work. This is the first time we have seen Katie Holmes’ replace­ment. Many have viewed this swap-over favourably and are look­ing for­ward to see­ing Gyllenhaal’s performance.

Whilst these are can­did shots, the cho­sen image (above) does show a con­sid­er­able like­ness between the two por­tray­als by dif­fer­ent actresses. For more images, includ­ing Har­vey Dent, I rec­om­mend vis­it­ing the users’ gallery over at flickr.

Now that we have had our first taste of The Joker and Har­vey Dent, some more deli­cious images from pro­duc­tion of The Dark Knight have begun stream­ing out. The first shows Nolan over­see­ing a smartly blurred-out Joker pro­logue scene, the sec­ond reveals some, assumed to be, hench­men of the Joker. From the promo shots and now these images we can already see that this film is build­ing to become darker and more sin­is­ter than Bat­man Begins, inline with the uttered notion that “things need to get worse before they can get better”.
