Bat Locations and Google Maps Streetview

[Scott Sebring]

It's funny how seeing it at a different angle makes it feel like a different location from its other appearances!

Exactly!

Ben and I have done this sort of thing in the past during Skype discussions about Bat Locations. We'll jump over to Google Maps and Streetview the area. Usually, WB doesn't have many accessible parts to their backlot via Streetview but I stumbled upon this today and wanted to share. I'll share more links if I come across them and hope to see some of you share them as well. It's fun to get and idea of the locations in 360 access.

I'll start with this one:
Gotham Police Headquarters. You can even go up the steps.

I was there before the gilding of the door and trim for "Hail, Caesar!"

That's great. I was disappointed a few months back because Google map didn't let me view that area anymore. I would like to model that area for the hotwheel Batmobile.

Start here:
Headquarters Steps

These 360 views on the lot aren't official Google Maps Street Views. They are user contributed so you can't enter the lot from the usual Street View navigation from the street through the gates. Go to Google Maps, set your browser to "Satellite" view. Get over to Warner bros. Hover over the green park in front of the commisioner's building. Grab the Street View dude icon and hover him over the park. You'll see light blue circles appear on the screen. Drop the dude on one of the circles and you should be safe and sound to navigate between the group of circles in the area contributed by that user. Other users will have different cicles to land on sometimes. The main thing is that if you get stuck in a part of the lot and can't get over to another area is to then exit street view. Hover over the other area you are trying to access, grad the street view dude and try to see if there are any circles that appear for you to land on. WB has a bunch by this guy. Good luck. I want to see/have that model you're thinking of happen. Lol!
