To welcome director Christopher Nolan and the cast and crew of the new film “The Dark Knight Rises” to the city of Pittsburgh, Lightwave International was called upon to project the symbol of the caped crusader on the city skyline.
The image was projected on Fifth Avenue Place downtown for two nights in July of 2011 as the production of Dark Knight Rises moved to the Pittsburgh area. As drivers emerged from the Fort Pitt Tunnel they were greeted by the Bat Symbol logo high atop one of the tallest buildings downtown. “We feel very welcome, even down to the bat symbol that was displayed last night,” Batman producer Emma Thomas stated at a pre-filming news conference the day after the display.
