Various photos of the upcoming Batman film The Dark Knight Rises<\/strong> shooting in London have recently surfaced online.<\/p>\n

Chris Nolan has a history of directing films in the capital city. <\/p>\n

Not only was his micro-budget debut Following<\/a> (1998) shot all over London (with key locations in Southwark<\/a>, Covent Garden<\/a> and Highgate<\/a>) but Batman Begins<\/a> (2005) and The Dark Knight<\/a> (2008) utilised London locations for various scenes.<\/p>\n

A wonderfully prescient shot in Following even features a Batman logo<\/a> – who could have predicted that Nolan would asked to reboot the franchise a few years later?<\/p>\n

Earlier this month the third film in the Batman series The Dark Knight Rises (2012) began filming at the Farmiloe building<\/a> in Clerkenwell<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The location was used as the Gotham City Police Station in the last two films and for sequences in Inception<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The building is adjacent to a public street, so some people were able to take photos and videos of cars, trucks, cranes and lights, although it seemed the filming took place behind closed doors.<\/p>\n

But Craig Grobler of The Establishing Shot<\/a> took an interesting set of photos<\/a> at the location (no real spoilers) and caught glimpses of Nolan, Wally Pfister and a bunch of extras dressed as the Gotham SWAT team.<\/p>\n
