It comes after a large number of vehicles being used in the production – including yellow US-style taxis – were spotted in a car park off Broomielaw on Friday afternoon.

Among the vehicles was a van for Gotham Water and Power – a fictional utility facility in Gotham City featured in Batman comics.

The Batman Part II is officially scheduled to be released in cinemas on February 18, 2028.

Scenes for The Batman – which made over £650 million at the worldwide box office – were filmed in Glasgow in February of 2020 , with the Necropolis and Glasgow Cathedral prominently featured in the movie’s final scenes. 

Both Matt Reeves and Robert Pattinson were highly complimentary of Glasgow’s “special Gotham” look in the first film, with the director hinting at the time that the franchise could make a return to the city.

Reeves said: “One of the things that was really important, I wanted this to feel like a Gothic American city, but one that you’d never been to.

“And so the way to do that was to choose beautiful Gothic architecture and so we went to Glasgow and honestly it was so beautiful, I wish we could’ve filmed there more.

“I really think it’s a very special Gotham, I mean what a special place.”
