The film has already shot in India and Pittsburgh, and is slated to start its New York shooting schedule on October 29th.
Nolan is known for trying to fool the media and anxious fans by spreading wholly inaccurate rumors about his own films. Even so, it would be pretty cool to mark this moment in Gotham history in a shoot for the fictional Gotham City.
In an ironic twist, Bruce Wayne is most definitely part of that "1 percent" the Occupy Wall Street folks are peeved with.
You can't win 'em all, Batman.
