I think when I was a kid, I always thought of Metropolis as being NYC and Gotham being Chicago. Which is why I was confused when I got older and saw that Variety referred to NYC as Gotham. Anyway, Nolan maybe thought the same at one time and therefore chose Chicago for his films. Especially because they were shot there, Chicago should get the promotion; not NYC. It's not like the Spider-Man promotion, which celebrated its taking place AND being filmed here. I guess you are right.

But both of Nolan's movies have been primarily shot in Chicago. I think in traditional Batman lore, it’s implied that it’s New York but never specified.
