Don't worry. You're not the only one. Didn't know any were shot here either. People just act surprised when others don't know something they do.

I'd love to see them try to film down in like...Lower Alloways Creek or wherever exactly Gotham is on the map

Camden would have the same look and feel of Gotham as Newark and be much more authentic. plus it would be great for the city.

Way too dangerous thanks to Route 130, though. Those hollywood types wouldn't be able to make it to the shoot safely. I'm picturing whole caravans of cars and crew vehicles wondering when there'll be a left turn, all with their blinkers on through multiple intersections.

yea, but down in south jersey near Camden. it would be so good for the city if they filmed there instead. I get why their filming in Newark, but I wish they would give it a shot
