The International Herald Tribune report that the majority of The Dark Knight’s Hong Kong filming has now been completed. Scenes included “dozens of police officers” storming a skyscraper in the financial district, filmed late on Sunday and early on Monday morning; whilst earlier in the week Lucius Fox (Morgan Freeman) and Bruce Wayne were filmed having a conversation on a bridge near Lyndhurst Terrace. Bale also stated in a press conference that he was scheduled to jump from the “90 floor International Finance Center“. And that he did - scroll down to see the vertigo inducing pictures of Batman standing on the edge of the tall building, and video of the encircling Helicopter.

In this conference Chris Nolan also debunked those previous rumors that a scene was abandoned because of pollution, citing script changes as the real reason.You can find another entertainment round-up in this ITN video hosted on YouTube:

Spectacular stunt for the Batman Begins sequel, The Dark Knight. The scene involves two helicopters hovering next to the tower and five stuntmen that come flying off the building. This was filmed at a high rise under construction near Chicago’s Lake Shore Drive.
