Meanwhile, filming on the movie has begun in Chicago with a thrilling car chase involving the Batmobile and Gotham City police cars.

"The scene was a bunch of regular cars driving eastbound on Jackson Blvd. until they reach a red light at Clark St. Coming up behind them is the Batmobile being chased by two Gotham cop cars," said a Superhero Hype source about last weekend's filming.

"Seeing that there's nowhere to go, the Batmobile flies up on the sidewalk, crashes through a bike rack, a couple of newspaper vending machines, then a fake bus stop canopy & then onto Clark St. going southbound. Both cop cars follow it, but one crashes."
