Random Memorial for Monday 4/25/11

Gone but not forgotten: our time as Gotham City.

Oh so sad ... for someone like me who's followed Batman from the campy TV show to the latest reboot of a reboot ... who's enjoyed Jokers from Cesar Romero to Jack Nicholson to Heath Ledger ... who drove around Chicago's lower Wacker Drive recognizing recent film scenes. And, now news that the 2012 Batman will NOT be filmed in Chicago.

Irrespective of the supposed consolation prize of being designated as Metropolis for the next Superman reboot (is it soon time to 'retire' that 'reboot' word?), the equation Gotham = Chicago as an accurate statement, you will be missed.

GOTHAM = STEEL CITY:
