The Dark Knight Rises shooting skydiving scenes in Scotland and looking for extras in Pittsburgh
"Parachutists dressed in black and using a private jet painted black have been in action at Cairngorm Gliding Club's site at Feshie Bridge.
The club declined to comment, but sources have told BBC News Scotland online that the filming is for Batman.
A former US military C130 Hercules transport aircraft linked to The Dark Knight Rises has also been making flights from Inverness Airport.
Feshie Bridge was reported as the location for filming earlier this month by Gavin Musgrove, editor of the Strathspey and Badenoch Herald.
It was not known if this week's activity at the gliding club was for scenes in the film, or preparation work ahead of proper filming."

Also, The Dark Knight Rises is seeking extras in the Pittsburgh area for an August 6 shoot. The extras will be used in a football game scene, involving the Gotham City high school team. Here's a description of the scene below.
"The scene we're in will be a football game, but not just any football game. We'll be cheering on the Gotham Rogues as they take on their rival team the Rapid City Monuments."
It isn't known how this scene will play out in the movie quite yet.

I saw the hercules plane parked at Feshiebridge on Wed 29th (was leading a group of kids in the area for their DofE award expedition) there were a few overhead tornado planes going up and down the glen and I just assumed the extra security was for the Queen, not batman- how exciting!

@summit10 That would be cool but Nolan has stated that his universe is not tied with any other DC character universes so that idea would never happen.

@skywise
Yeah, i'd like to see that as well. I wonder if they would have Nightwing in Dark Knight rises or in a Batman movie, that would come out sometime after it ?

@themoviefanatic Of course i would love that. If they introduced Grayson this time around it would be interesting to see a Nightwing storyline or at least Valley taking up the mantle of Batman. However, with the breaking of Bats at the end of Knightfall it led to the "Batman Family" and that is not something i think Nolan would do. Of course, thats just my opinion.

very nice T.Shane, i know its still CN call, but Dick Grayson's involvement would be epic!

@summit10 Agreed. A DC Universe city would have been a cool Easter Egg.
Let the "Dick Grayson in high school" rumors commence lol
