The Batmobile has arrived in Glasgow as filming for the upcoming The Batman sequel is set to get under way.
Scotland’s largest city is set to return to the silver screen as Gotham after playing a key role in the 2022 superhero film starring Robert Pattinson.
Dozens of road closures and restrictions will be in place across the city over two months, with production crews arriving from August 18.
Glasgow has been transformed multiple times into the fictional Gotham City, including in Christopher Nolan’s The Dark Knight Rises (2012) and the scrapped Batgirl film (2021).
Works have been ongoing since last week on art installations under the Kingston Bridge at the Newton Street car park.
Images from the area show a car with a filming sign reading “Semper Vigilans”, rumoured to be the working title for the new Batman movie.
A recent picture shows the Batmobile arriving on St Vincent Street, with filming due to begin on Tuesday.
It is unclear whether Pattinson or co-star Scarlett Johansson will be in the city to film scenes.
The Batman: Part II is scheduled for release in cinemas on February 18, 2028.
