New set photos from the Glasgow filming location of The Batman Part II have surfaced, offering a detailed glimpse at Robert Pattinson's updated Batsuit for the sequel. These images have sparked discussions among fans, with many drawing comparisons between the new design and the iconic Batsuit featured in the Batman: Arkham video game series.
The armor in the new photos appears darker and shinier than its iteration in the 2022 film, and the cowl's ears are noticeably longer. A prominent addition is a mustard-colored utility belt, a detail that has particularly resonated with fans of the Arkham games. However, some observers suggest that the perceived changes in darkness and shininess might be attributed to the specific lighting conditions on the set rather than a fundamental alteration to the suit's materials.
The set photos feature Robert Pattinson's stunt double, Rick English, in costume. In some shots, Batman is depicted as bloodied, commandeering a Gotham City Police motorcycle, and making an escape by ramping off the hood of a GCPD car. These images continue to document the filming of an extensive police chase sequence involving the Batmobile.
The Batmobile itself appears to have sustained significant damage, including several barrel rolls, which would logically explain Batman's need to commandeer a police motorcycle for his getaway. While filming takes place in Glasgow, Pattinson is reportedly at the Venice International Film Festival promoting his new film "Primetime."
