10 Iconic Batman Filming Locations You Can Actually Visit

10. South Wacker Drive In Chicago

Who could forget the epic Dark Knight scene in which the Joker street races against Batman in an underground labyrinth? Slowly picking off Harvey Dent's security team as he barrels down the undergrown causeway, the crazed clown's echos against the concrete walls as he attempts to kill the politician with a bazooka.

For the iconic speed chase in The Dark Knight, Christopher Nolan chose South Wacker Drive in Chicago. The famous subterranean speedway's naturally gritty and concrete appearance captured the creepy, disorienting

Every night during the filming of The Dark Knight, South Wacker Drive was barricaded off from 7 pm to 7 am to accommodate the movie. The street itself is an underground tunnel of sorts. Running parallel to one of the busiest boulevards in the downtown Loop, South Wacker is a complicated subterranean roadway.

Affectionally known as "Lower Wacker Drive" to Chicagoans, the underground artery is nearly impossible for tourists to navigate. Even Siri can't help if you're driving directly below the street she thinks you're on. The concrete la features plenty of twists and turns - making it perfect for any gritty race scene.
