The monorails were featured briefly in both TDK and TDKR. Just not as prominent as Begins. Which is fine because they were introducing them as a Thomas Wayne invention and then with Ras dying on one of them.I think Nolan kinda failed with portraying Gotham tbh
He got it just right in Batman Begins. Filmed in Chicago, the monorail system was added and made the city unique, the Narrows had it's atmosphere, and of course, Wayne Tower. We even got portrayals of the citizens.
Then, everything fell apart in The Dark Knight. Gotham in TDK just felt like Chicago with some editing tricks. Gotham lacked the monorails and Wayne Tower was replaced by a big black box.
It only got worse in The Dark Knight Rises. Instead of filming in Chicago like the first two films, they filmed in New York, Los Angeles, and Pittburgh. Huge mistake. Gotham in this film was pretty much a motified New York, with some Los Angeles, and Pittsburgh added in. Very inconsistent with the previous films. Not only that, the city was rather ugly in wide shots.
I know Gotham was based on New York in the comics, but they executed it terribly in the film. Gotham was based on the New York of the 30s and 40s, Art Deco and gothic architecture. Pretty much like the '89 Batman film's Gotham.
Now, for the Man of Steel, they filmed in Chicago.....
I sure hope it doesn't feel too much like BB and TDK Gotham.
Metropolis should be a mix of art deco architecture with gleaming modern skyscrapers popping up around, with dams, and elevated streets. Pretty much the ideal city. This was when they should've filmed in New York....
