The next Batman movie stars the Pittsburgh Steelers as Gotham City's football team, the Gotham Knights.

At least, I think that's it. Correct me if I'm wrong.

Ts Hines Ward in particular vs. a team that resembles Seattle's finest. Why the loving Steelers though? Shouldn't it be the Jets or Giants?

I'm mad because Hines Ward doesn't die on screen right in front of us. Maybe he will in the movie and all will be redeemed, but in the trailer he lives. And that makes Febreeze angry.

The last thing they need is more attention and gently caress Hines Ward getting paid.

They also kill the Seahawks in the movie. How am I supposed to react to that?

I'd stay away from the knock-offs this year, the real ones are being put together in Central America so I've got a feeling they're just going to take the leftover Reebok jersey materials and slap a swoosh on them.

I dunno, I've been eyeing this Angerer jersey on https://www.christmas-jersey.com for a while and the new Nike version looks convincingly different. Granted, the photo for the old version looks like crap. Anyone with a sharper eye want to weigh in?

They're using the stock images Nike put up, and not even the ones of the Elite Jersey since that one is tagged as a Medium.

Yeah, I think I'm gonna pick up that Angerer one because, if they're listing it as one of their few Nike jerseys, then they should at least have it in stock one way or the other. I've been trying to get Angerer from that site since last fall and they never have it :argh:

Really? I was under the impression that it was largely filmed in and based on Pittsburgh. I thought modeling the football team after the Steelers was a nod to this.

Nike's aren't 83$. 53$ was the total sorry If I posted that stupidly. But I'm getting the mid tier jersey regardless this summer. This is just to see how these are like I said; either I get a Reebok and it's whatever, a Nike GameDay tshirt style jersey and it's a bit cheaper than the nike/dallascowboys stores, or I actually get the "elite" knockoff without the water repellant or something. So 53$ isn't bad for A trial and error. Plus returns are free.

Dude they're using the steelers because the CEO of the company producing Dark Knight Rises has a minority stake of the team. It's not really a nod to anything, they were using the Steelers because they can.

If that dude had a minority stake in the Seahawks or Patriots or whatever they would have used them for the Gotham Rogues instead.


Now it would be cool if the Steelers sold replicas of those jerseys though. poo poo, I'd probably even buy one.

Sure there wasn't an asterisk somewhere pointing to paying shipping yourself?

Also I can't tell for sure, but it looks kinda like the Luck jerseys have Reebok tags on the shoulders. And do the Colts have different shades of blue alternates or are Tara-jersey's pictures just way off in color? Quick comparison with NFL shop:



Actually looking at official pics, the Nike ones don't have a box around the swoosh so that's Reebok. Maybe you'll get a swoosh with a box :v:

Well their Luck jersey isn't advertised as a Nike jersey and I think they've had it on the site before the Nike jerseys were even revealed.

It's hard to tell what's going on with their Nike jerseys. They're slightly different, but look like the same materials/cut as the Reeboks.

Do you know that street underneath a street that is in both movies? Thats lower wacker drive in Chicago and the amount of careful editing done in those movies to prevent you from realizing that street is like 2 blocks long is ridiculous. Additionally, many of the buildings used to make the blended skyline are Chicago landmarks. Not that they don't also use Pittsburgh and other cities, just that much of the filming was done in Chicago.

Depends on the universe and what have you. In most of them though New York, Gotham, and Metropolis are all separate eastern seaboard cities and the total population of the world is much, much larger. Gotham is typically south of New York and Metropolis is typically north of it. Often, Gotham is in New Jersey so by default the Gotham Rogue's fans are terrible loving people.

Who has better mythical BBQ, Metropolis or Gotham? I feel like Gotham's would be a much darker bolder sauce, but Metropolis would definitely be sweeter and perfect for a 4th of July cook out.
