Does anyone have an opinion where the role-playing game sourcebook Bug City should go, if in here? It's set within the world of Shadowrun, a future-era semi-fantasy world, however, it's not a novel. It's more like a giant backstory to the premise of what is going on in Chicago at the time.BrianL03 08:34, 6 Jun 2005 (UTC)

Also, I need assistance in creating a re-direct for the Tom Dowd interwiki link. Currently, it is directing it to a different Dowd, and I need it to at least direct to a non-existant "Tom Dowd" page. If anyone can help out there, I'd appreciate it. Tried searching through help and tutorial, but couldn't find articles.BrianL03 08:43, 6 Jun 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Deletion?

I just would like to add lacks at least one movie. "Batman Begins" was also set in Chicago.

Batman Begins was partly filmed in Chicago; it was set in Gotham City.Mhking 21:44, 14 February 2006 (UTC)

I think that Batman Begins should be deleted. It doesn't take place in Chicago. Same with Spider-Man 2; it was filmed in Chicago, but took place elsewhere.--Radaar 23:14, 9 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Roseanne

I deleted the reference to Roasanne being set in a "fictional suburb of Chicago". According to tv.com, episode 20 revealed that the show takes place in Fulton County (approx. 200 mi. from Chicago).

[edit] The Blues Brothers

I changed the link for The Blues Brothers to point to The Blues Brothers (film)


[edit] Batman Begins

Should be Added the entire movie was flimed in Chicago. And the movie is BASED off Chicago. Chicago's crime rate is much higher and there is much more corruption in the city.

No, the LOOK of the fictional city of Gotham was designed with Chicago as a major influence. this does NOT make Gotham=Chicago. This has been mentioned at the pages of your other similar Gotham=Chicago edits, and on your talk page. thank you.ThuranX 06:01, 21 August 2006 (UTC)

It Should still be added...75.3.117.184 15:50, 21 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Merger proposal

The List of video games set in Chicago page is labled as an orphan. As Chicago does not seem to require as many separate fiction lists as Media of New York City, perhaps the video game list should be merged into this page. Wangry 04:27, 9 September 2007 (UTC)
