Fun fact they filmed a lot of the Dark Knight in Chicago, so that’s probably why there is a connection! My friends and I would always drive the tunnels on Lower Wacker which is where the chase scene in that movie was filmed.

The connection is also in the crime rates, Gotham and Chicago.

Probably a very good reason why the producers chose to shoot in Chicago haha, they don't have to do a lot to change the vibe
