Works are under way as Glasgow prepares to transform into Gotham City ahead of filming for the new Batman movie.<\/p>\n

Dozens of road closures and restrictions will be in place across the city over two months, with production crews arriving from August 18.<\/p>\n

STV News understands that up to four other film productions are shooting in Glasgow city centre this summer, resulting in further disruption.<\/p>\n

Glasgow has been used multiple times as the fictional Gotham City, including in The Batman (2022) and Christopher Nolan\u2019s The Dark Knight Rises (2012).<\/p>\n

Works have been ongoing since last week on art installations under the Kingston Bridge at the Newton Street car park.<\/p>\n

Images from the area show a car with a filming sign reading \u201cSemper Vigilans\u201d, rumoured to be the working title for the new Batman movie.<\/p>\n

The restrictions at the car park will remain in place until September 29, with nearby Newton Street, between the A814 Expressway and Broomielaw, shut from August 29 until September 9.<\/p>\n

The upcoming sequel directed by Matt Reeves will star Robert Pattinson as Bruce Wayne and Andy Serkis as Alfred Pennyworth.<\/p>\n

New additions to the cast include Sebastian Stan, Scarlett Johansson, Jayme Lawson and Charles Dance.<\/p>\n

The Batman: Part II is scheduled for release in cinemas on February 18, 2028.<\/p>\n
