Work continues on The Batman Part II, and after the destroyed remains of the Batmobile were spotted on set, we now see the moment when the Dark Knight's primary means of transport is wrecked.
This is likely the culmination of Batman's battle with the GCPD, and if the hero is in the car...well, it can't be good news for Bruce Wayne. However, it's unlikely this is connected to other recent footage that showed Alfred Pennyworth attempting to revive the billionaire.
What exactly causes the Batmobile to be flung down a Gotham City street remains to be seen. However, its destruction should open the door to the Caped Crusader getting a new vehicle that many fans will no doubt hope is more in line with the comics.
Batmobile action in 2022's The Batman was limited, with it primarily used when the vigilante was chasing down The Penguin. This time, it seems we can expect even more action, even if things don't necessarily go Bruce's way.
The sequel's plot is a closely guarded secret, but an early glimpse at the action like this only increases excitement among fans. This could, however, be a major spoiler for the movie, which is always a risk when a production is filmed in view of the public.
"He’s Batman, so if he doesn’t like it, not good," Reeves previously said of Robert Pattinson's reaction to The Batman 2's script. "So, I was super excited because I thought that he really would [like it] because the things that it does for his character, for Batman, and for [Bruce Wayne] has never been done before in this way."
"And I had a feeling he would respond in this way; the fact that he did was incredibly encouraging," he continued, with Pattinson himself later hailing it as "extraordinary." The actor added, "I think it’s going to be a really, really special movie and very, very different. Even from the last one. I was reading it and like, 'oh wow'. It's going to be interesting seeing it come out. It’s taking some big swings."
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.
