UK production of The Batman Part II

Overview

Production for Matt Reeves’ ‘The Batman: Part II’ has progressed through August 2026, with filming in Glasgow, Scotland, serving as a stand-in for a snow-covered Gotham City. Local infrastructure has faced disruptions, including potential three-week closures of major routes. Leaked footage and set photos have provided insight into the film’s direction, including an intense police chase involving the Batmobile and footage of Andy Serkis as Alfred Pennyworth performing CPR on a handcuffed Bruce Wayne. As of early September 2026, footage confirmed the destruction of the Batmobile, leading to theories that a new vehicle model may be introduced. Recent set photos also revealed an updated, darker batsuit for Robert Pattinson featuring a mustard-colored utility belt.

In mid-September 2026, filming expanded to include locations in London. New set photos and footage depict Bruce Wayne being escorted by police through a crowd of protesters near the Gotham Bar Association, suggesting themes of political unrest, wealth, and civic resentment. Observers noted protesters wearing white masks and one individual wearing a symbol resembling the emblem of the DC Comics villain Anarky. These visuals have fueled speculation that the ‘Court of Owls’ may also play a role in the narrative. Footage from these sessions also featured Jeffrey Wright as Jim Gordon.
