Filming for the new installment of the Batman franchise, The Dark Knight Rises landed in New York City on 5 Ave last week and turned Trump Towers into “Wayne Enterprises”. 

 

Christian Bale was seen being escorted in and out of the set. They later filmed some exteriors of him entering the building.

 

 

 

 

They then moved downtown, to about a block away from where the “Occupy Wall Street” protestors are holding court and were seen filming what looked like riots scenes involving the Gotham PD and Batman fighting Tom Hardy’s Bane.

The project had been filming extensively in Pittsburgh the last couple of months and stars the amazing Gary Oldman, Anne Hathaway as the Catwoman, Marion Cotillard, Morgan Freeman and Michael Caine. It is slated for a July, 20, 2012 release.
