Film crews thought to be linked to the much anticipated Batman sequel appear to have returned to Merseyside. The old entrance to the Birkenhead<\/a> tunnel on Rendel Street was covered by large fencing earlier this week as teams were seen on site.<\/p>\n Within the closed site, a white car with blue trim bearing the markings GCP\u2013 thought to represent Gotham City Police \u2013 could be spotted. The Liverpool Film Office or Warner Bros \u2013 who are producing the film \u2013 have yet to confirm the nature of the two day set up on the Wirral<\/a>.<\/p>\n Trade publications have listed Liverpool as a filming location for the long-awaited DC Comics sequel. It is the second time in as many months<\/a> crews have been seen on location turning the Liverpool City Region into Gotham City.<\/p>\n In May, various vehicles were spotted outside St George\u2019s Hall, including cars mocked up to appear as Gotham Police cruisers and yellow US-style taxis. The Birkenhead tunnel was also used in the dead of night with the police cars while Robert Pattinson\u2019s stunt double was also spotted on top of a moving car.<\/p>\n Shot during the height of the covid-19<\/a> restrictions, The Batman went on to be a smash hit for DC and Warner Bros. Starring Robert Pattinson as Bruce Wayne and his alter ego caped crusader, it grossed around \u00a3578m worldwide when it was released in 2022.<\/p>\n (Image: Colin Lane\/Liverpool Echo)<\/p>\n The sequel was officially confirmed to be in cinemas for October 2027. Aside from the Merseytravel bus stop that escaped post-production, one of the most striking images to come out of the city in the last few years was the sight of Batman swooping down from the Liver Building, doubling as the Gotham City Police Department building.<\/p>\n Shooting also took place at Anfield<\/a> Cemetery for a scene involving Batman and Catwoman. Stunt doubles were seen on location for a motorbike shot.<\/p>\n During their day in Liverpool six weeks ago, cameras were spotted on location outside St George\u2019s Hall with the Bat symbol adorned on them. Official shooting locations are yet to be confirmed by the production.<\/p>\n (Image: Colin Lane\/Liverpool Echo)<\/p>\n The ECHO <\/a>understands that visit was part of a technical recce by the studio, rather than a full formal shoot. Principal photography was confirmed to have begun by director Matt Reeves and members of the cast via social media.<\/p>\n The Batman is the latest in a series of major productions to have been secured for the city in the last seven years through the Liverpool Film Office. Since 2019, more than 1,600 productions have said This City Is Ours and set up shop here, generating \u00a3150m for the local economy.<\/p>\n![](\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/1783000271_874_0_Film-set-believed-to-be-for-The-Batman-Part-2-at-the-old-Queensway-Tunnel-entrance-off-Rendel-Stre.jpeg\")
