Pittsburgh quarterback Ben Roethlisberger and about 12 of his veteran teammates participated Saturday in the filming of "The Dark Knight Rises," playing football players at Heinz Field, according to the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette.

And the Gotham coach? Why it's Bill Cowher, the former Steelers coach who left the team after the 2006 season and is now an analyst for CBS Sports. Kevin Colbert, the Steelers' director of football operations, will reunite with Cowher as a Gotham assistant coach.

Did he spit on anyone?

I was wondering who the new villain would be, this makes sense.

Terrible. Why wouldn't they use the Jets or the Giants, the real Gotham City teams?

Movie already sucks.

And? Pittsburgh =/= Gotham.

And? Pittsburgh =/= Gotham.

This helps explain why they chose Pittsburgh, and also, if you read the whole page, it helps illustrate why they're even filming in Pittsburgh at all.

They're not actually using the Steelers name or logo. Just the field, painted to the Gotham team.
