10 Iconic Batman Filming Locations You Can Actually Visit

4. Los Angeles' Union Station

The Scarecrow, portrayed by Cillian Murphy, made a brief appearance in The Dark Knight Rises. The not-so-good doctor breaks out of Blackgate Penitentiary, along with Selena Kyle and other really, really bad people.

Now free, Dr. Crane took up a new position as a judge, doling out punishments to anyone who seemed fit. In the name of Bane, Scarecrow convenes his kangaroo court, offering two options: 1. Death, or 2. Flee. It's important to note that "fleeing" means "finding your way across a frozen river without falling through the ice." And no, no one makes it to safety.

To demonstrate the nature of the chaotic, frenzied, yet somehow official-looking scene, Nolan chose L.A.'s Union Station. With its opulent entryway and spacious foyer complete with ornate decorations managed to capture the essence of the moment. One that demonstrates the nature of the chaotic, frenzied, yet somehow official-looking revolution.

The ornate entryway with sky-high ceilings perfectly juxtaposes the court's instability with what Gotham city was before.
