Batman Wraps up Hong Kong Filming

It was an eventful shoot for the crew of Batman the Dark Knight, but according to reports it has finally finished. The first time that Bruce Wayne has left Gotham within the Batman film franchise, had sent Wayne to Hong Kong, along with Lucius Fox, played Morgan Freeman.

The Hong Kong shoot was marred by misreported pollution scares and correctly reported power consumption concerns (all of which can be seen in the Batman the Dark Knight News archive, link below).

The final day of shooting saw Wayne, played by Christian Bale, and Fox having a conversation on a pedestrian bridge that connects Hong Kong's Central financial district and the upscale Mid-Levels residential area.

In addition, they also filmed Fox chatting to security guards as he entered a skyscraper in the financial district of Hong Kong. The final shoot, also involved the skyscraper, but no cast stars, as dozens of police officers stormed the building.

Last Friday, Christian Bale also made known that he was planning on emulating a scene played out in the movie Lara Croft Tomb Raider: The Cradle of Life, by jumping out of Hong Kong's tallest building, the 90-floor International Finance Center.

Needless to say, the opening date of this movie is definitely too far away for my liking.
