This is pretty cool. The Batsignal is shining on Downtown's Highmark building to welcome Warner Bros. and the cast and crew of The Dark Knight Rises to Pittsburgh. Christopher Nolan will be filming his final Batman movie in Pittsburgh for about a month. If you live in Pittsburgh, or are willing to make the trip, you can be part of a major action scene on August 6th. There will be a press conference tomorrow at noon with Christopher Nolan, Chrisian Bale, producer Emma Thomas, and executive producer Kevin De La Noy. I'll have video from the press conference as soon as it shows up online. For now, check out one more picture of the Batsignal after the break.

Update 07/28/11: George from Lightwave International (the company behind last night's awesome laser show) sent in even better photos, including a behind the scenes shot. Check them out after the break.

Reminds me of when they did this here in Chicago for the ARG marketing for The Dark Knight. They put the batsignal up on the sears tower for the marketing. Enjoy it Pittsburgh.

    No need to hate on the Pirates unless they play your Red Sox in the World Series which we both know won't happen. If I were you I would be much more worried about The Indians in the playoffs.

Hi you all, i don't know if this is important but i have a friend on Pittsburgh, and he's telling me that right now is a local rumor (local tv news, newspaper, etc) that the Civic Arena, builted in 1961, is going to be demolished in the coming month and that will be part of the dark knigh rises movie from Warner Bros.

  yeah, that is nonsense-
  a "yinzer" rumor that started last april, the civic arena is set to be demolished by the city for the cost of 2.2 million dollars-

Is this gonna be part of the film or is it just an advertisement?

  It was just something a Pittsburgh laser company did to welcome Warner Bros. and Christopher Nolan. It's not going to be part of the movie.

Is the Dark Knight Rises the most anticipated sequel since Phantom Menace? I'd say so.

Christian Bale has facial hair at the press conference! Does this mean he's playing Hugo Strange?!?!?!?
