Adieu, adieu, to yieu and yieu and yieu!
Pittsburgh was the official bat cave for several weeks this summer while Director Christopher Nolan captured shots for the newest installment of the Batman film series, The Dark Knight Rises.
While closures in the heart of Downtown Pittsburgh became common, residents and commuters alike had to plan their schedules around the BatMobile’s voyages around town.
Pittsburgh city folk endured weeks of summer snowfall, blocked intersections and highways, and low-swooping helicopters.
With all of the Batman hustle and bustle that occurred during the production, Nolan felt as though a THANK YOU was in order.
After the final cut, cast and crew quickly disappeared. Anne Hathaway and the Tumbler were no where to be seen.
But Nolan left behind his official THANK YOU, PITTSBURGH advertisement that he posted in the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette.
Nolan decided on a full one-page ad of The Dark Knight Rises poster, expressing his gratitude to the city.
THANK YOU, PITTSBURGH was printed in the middle of the batman logo
amidst crumbling city skyscrapers. Along with Nolan, the ad was signed by Produc
ers Emma Thomas and Charles Roven.
For all who endured the hectic film production schedule, this ad was a souvenir to remember all of the ROAD CLOSED signs and detours.
You're welcome Christopher Nolan.
You are welcome.
