I had to remove the photos because Warner Brothers is apparently upset these photos got out, even though there are NO signs prohibiting photography in the building the photos were taken. My guess is that the buildings' own security team was tasked with keeping people off the set, but judging by the number of random folks you can see wandering around and gawking at the set throughout the day, they're obviously doing a pretty bad job of it. Like I said, there are absolutely no signs saying photos can't be taken (and, duh, there's a huge window on one side of the set so anyone walking by outside can snap pictures to their little heart's content) so personally I feel that I shouldn't have to take down the photos. However, because I'm a considerate fellow, and a fan of what the studio has allowed Christopher Nolan to do with Batman, I've removed them from my site. Don't fret too much though, considering the number of people that have been through here in the past few days I'm sure the shots will live on upon various other fan sites and message boards.

Yep, it's Illinois Center. I'm surprised building security is letting them film there. Rumor has it the Israeli consulate is in that building? And Barak's HQ is right next door.

Ha! That couldn't possibly be UIC, you can actually see out the windows and there isn't any hideous concrete or depressed students.

For some reason I was reading "Illinois Center" as "Thompson Center." Whoops!

Looks like an Illinois Center lobby?
