Chicago Batman Tour

80 years ago in the winter of 1941 Gotham City was first mentioned by name in Batman #4. So it’s only fitting that this video coincides with and celebrates the 80th anniversary of Gotham’s publication history!

Chicago was prominently featured in Christopher Nolan’s Dark Knight Trilogy to represent Gotham City. Because of the city's deep Art Deco roots the architecture heavily resembles Gotham. Nolan and his team were able to make use of many famous landmarks and bring Gotham to life with existing features and streets.

The last time I was there I visited as many filming locations as time would allow. I even talk about some locations that I didn’t see personally but know for sure are there. And like any list, this wasn’t exhaustive so I intentionally left off some locations.

Just so everyone knows, this was a not-for-profit labor of love and a tribute to Chicago and Batman so I’m not making a single cent off anything.
