Its not about the location...its about the principle photography and the cinematography, which will be supervised by Nolan and don't forget Wally Pfister, who, believe it or not is the one mostly responsible for the epic vision of Batman Begins, The Dark Knight, Insomnia, Memento, The Presitge, and even Inception. Nolan formulates a vision, Pfister makes it, and there is more to Nolan's transition to New Orleans besides tax incentives, but we will just have to wait and see. Ultimately the change in location will not alter the experience of the film, the story, or Gotham City itself.

I wonder how much of the New Orleans scenery will be used for The Dark Knight Rises. The New Orleans footage will probably be for Gotham City, but if it's part of the story for Batman to travel to New Orleans then I have to say that Batman would look pretty cool up against alot of the scenery over there.
I only live about 40 minutes away from New Orleans myself, it'll be cool to know that part of a Batman film will be filmed there.

aww, why the move to New Orleans? i took it as a bit of territorial pride that these movies were made in my home town. Oh well, it'll be awesome just the same.

Neato. I'm glad they aren't delaying this. Seems weird that Spider-Man is shooting four months before even though it comes out a couple weeks ahead of Dark Knight. Scheduling I suppose.

@Bawn, you are correct. Many times the news and others still use the term Gotham in referring to NYC.
As for this story, I don't care. The only news I want to read about is on villains and plots.

The Narrator: The Better Man
I agree with @bane. Nolan is partially from Chicago, and he says that it IS Gotham. So I think that the N.O. shoots will be worked into the story somehow, but I doubt it'll take the place of Chicago/Gotham.
I'm excited for every movie on that list.

I'm stoked for Batman, Spiderman, and Mad Max, but i think that the avengers has too many heroes for one movie. i am looking forward to it, but i am not hyping it a lot.

heres the quote from comicbookmovies.com bout filming both in Chicago and New Orleans...
" Location scouting for the untitled Batman project has already begun in Chicago, Illinois, where the two previous films were headquartered. If this new deal finalizes, almost half of principal photography will take place in New Orleans, Louisiana. This deal would be a big help to the studio financially, since it would allow better use of the projected $200 million budget for the film. "
Dont worry my friends, im sure well be seeing Chicago " Gotham City " in all its glory again, and maybe using the shots in N.O as locations within Gotham or maybe the outskirts of the city, kind of like how The Narrows played out in Begins
