Cameras are rolling on The Batman Part II in Glasgow, Scotland, and the Dark Knight's Batmobile has just been spotted. Revealing our best look yet at the vehicle, the video below confirms it hasn't changed much, if at all, since 2022's The Batman.
This isn't hugely surprising, of course, as only several weeks or a few months at most will have passed since the events of the first movie. Based on the glimpse we've had of Robert Pattinson's Batsuit, the only alterations are similarly minor.
Given that this is an R-rated franchise, it's not hugely surprising that there's no pressure on filmmaker Matt Reeves to make anything we see in The Batman Part II more toyetic.
Still, while a short time has passed in-universe, by the time this sequel opens in theaters, nearly six years will have passed since we sat down to watch The Batman. With DC Studios' The Brave and the Bold stuck in limbo, there's a lot of excitement to see Bruce Wayne back on screen, so chances are this follow-up will be a huge hit despite delays.
With any luck, more photos and footage from set will follow this latest sneak peek. Whether we'll get any spoilers is another matter, but characters like Batman, Catwoman, and The Penguin were all revealed in 2020 while The Batman was shooting in Scotland.
In June, Pattinson talked about his preparation to return as Batman. "I just heard from the stunt guy the other day. He said, 'Ooh, 11 weeks of nights.' I’m like, 'Excuse me?' I’m like, 'No one’s even sent me a schedule,'" the actor recalled, confirming that he's hitting the gym to play Bruce Wayne again.
Admitting that he made a mistake by "trying to sound cool" in interviews when he said he hadn't worked out to play Batman, Pattinson remembered everyone saying, "'You didn’t work out at all,'" and added, "I worked out every f***ing day. Even after that, I still look like I didn’t work out. I worked out twice a day at, like, three o’clock in the morning."
We don't know much at all about The Batman Part II, including who the movie's lead villain is. Current rumours point to characters like Two-Face, Victor Zsasz, and Poison Ivy factoring into the sequel, and even with The Court of Owls now in the mix, it's likely to be a while before we get official confirmation.
Directed by Matt Reeves from a script by him and Mattson Tomlin, The Batman Part II stars Robert Pattinson, Scarlett Johansson, Sebastian Stan, Colin Farrell, Andy Serkis, Jeffrey Wright, Charles Dance, Jayme Lawson, Gil Perez-Abraham, Sebastian Koch, and Brian Tyree Henry.
The Batman Part II is set to be released in theaters on February 18, 2028.
