New Batman star Robert Pattinson has described Glasgow as a “brilliant Gotham.”

The trailer has already shown the first look of Glasgow with a scene shot in the Necropolis of the Bat on his bike.
And there is more of the city to come.
It’s also been used for The Flash, and Batgirl which is filming here this week.
Robert said: “It’s not at all surprising to me that Glasgow has become a sort of unofficial Gotham City. When you think of Gotham you think of a wonderfully Gothic city – and that’s why Glasgow works so well.”
While Robert didn’t come to Glasgow to shoot – the bike scenes were filmed with a double – he knows the city well.
He said: “The architecture in Glasgow is incredible – it has that real 19th century feel to it hence why it makes for a brilliant Gotham. George Square is my favourite part of the city – there is so much wonderful architecture on view from one central location.”
Filming for The Batman began in Glasgow last February 2020 with Scots given the first look at his new suit.

Other locations include around Glasgow Cathedral and Glasgow Royal Infirmary. And Hartwood Psychiatric Hospital in Shotts will double up as Gotham’s orphanage.

Panic at the Batcave? When the first trailer for Matt Reeves’ “The Batman” dropped in August 2020, DC fans went wild over Robert Pattinson’s black eyeliner, which they dubbed deliciously “emo.” Now, more than a year on, the director has finally addressed the caped crusader’s makeup in an interview with Esquire. “You can’t wear a cowl and not wear that,” the 55-year-old “Cloverfield” director argued of Batman’s “Spiderman 3”-esque countenance.
