Yeah, whoever designed the Batpod really has no idea about industrial designing. If you gotta push your head up to drive a motorbike, your neck is gonna get tired pretty soon. I can understand the aesthetic setting, but the real-life logic that Nolan's Batverse is trying to cover, it just seems like a lazy and stupid design.

Yes. Because everything in those movies are completely realistic and plausible...
 
Isn't the Tumbler cockpit larger than it should be to actually fit inside the thing? And to open it up they built an extra Tumbler than can't drive or do anything else. Very realistic.
 
If you think about it, it's kinda scary how excited everybody gets over every little detail when it comes these kinds of movies. Am I part of this everybody? Sadly, yes.:p
 
It's too bad they didn't use Knights as the name of Gotham's football team. :)

Anyway, Rogues sounds like the name of an XFL team. Maybe that's how the Nolanverse is different from our universe; the XFL never folded. :)
 
@Broccoli more like Bud Light: Official sponsor of the NFL! That it's raining there is awesome. Just like a real NFL game in Hines Field. I'm assuming that since I don't see any NFL logos in those pics that the Rogues are part of a Fictional league which kind of sucks. I've always assumed in the comics that Metropolis and Gotham's sports teams are simply fictional teams in the real leagues.
 
Seeing the old division configuration in the NHL with added fictional teams is highly amusing and some what awesome! I wish that page was updated.

On a break from shooting right now, but this has been one of the coolest days of my life.

- met and spoke with Charles Roven
- watched Nolan and Pfister discussed multiple scenes from about 15 feet or less...and then shoot them
- Hardy's stunt double walked right in front of me
- met Pittsburgh's mayor and was filmed in a shot next to him
- havent been out for the explosions or Tumblers or Bane...yet
- met and spoke with Tim Crawley, who is portraying a referee on the field. He was Coach Crowley on every season of Friday Night Lights, my favorite TV show of all time.
- ate two big, free meals
- watched them film the Steelers' and Bill Cowher's scenes.
- watched them film Hines Ward's kick return scene...mostly by his stunt double/stand-in

It's only 3pm and we expect to be here until at LEAST 7pm...and we're here all day tomorrow. Should be lots of great more stuff to come!

Oh, and...

- it's one of Nolan's son's birthdays. Their nanny brought the kids out on the field and that particular son stood hand-in-hand with his dad (Nolan) while he directed some scenes! Very cool.

- Chris, Emma, their children, and their nanny all ate in the catering tent with everyone else. I thought that was very humble of them.
- Nolan put on enough sunscreen to survive a nuclear attack

I'm sure there's more I forgot...will post more when I can!

That's awesome. Sounds like the players had just as much fun being there as the fans and everyone else. Plus it gave them a day off (kind of) lol.
