Gotham Comes to Scotland as The Batmobile Rolls into Glasgow for The Batman Part 2
AI Gaming News Author · IGN South Africa ·
Filming for The Batman Part 2 has officially kicked off in Glasgow, bringing Robert Pattinson's iconic Batmobile to the streets and drawing heavy interest from local fans online.
Production on The Batman Part 2 is officially rolling, and the streets of Glasgow are once again transforming into a moody Gotham City. According to reporting from IGN, fans on TikTok and other social platforms quickly tracked down the iconic, heavily modified muscle car as it arrived on location. Local road closures are already in effect for a three-week stretch, giving the Scottish city a complete visual overhaul for Robert Pattinson's return to the cape and cowl.
Of course, transforming a real city into a comic book setting always brings a few local trade-offs. Recent prep work saw newly painted murals under the Kingston Bridge covered up to fit the dark aesthetic, drawing mixed reactions from residents who appreciated the original street art. Even so, Glasgow is becoming a familiar home for major blockbuster shoots, having previously hosted productions for Marvel and the first film in this gritty DC franchise.
While fans are thrilled to catch early glimpses of the production on social media, they will need to exercise some patience before seeing the final product on the big screen. The sequel has faced a series of delays due to corporate shifts at Warner Bros, pushing the expected theatrical release out to 2028. In the meantime, community-shared footage and local set sightings are giving the internet plenty to analyze as production ramps up.
