Filming for The Batman Part II is currently happening in Glasgow, Scotland, and new leaked videos from the set have created a lot of buzz online. The footage shows the Batmobile in a dramatic chase sequence with Gotham City police officers and SWAT teams. The clips give fans a first look at what appears to be a major action scene where the Dark Knight finds himself on the run from the very people he usually works with.
The videos spread quickly across social media platforms, with multiple angles showing the Batmobile doing donuts on snow-covered streets while police vehicles surround it. In some clips, SWAT officers are seen firing at the Batmobile at close range. The scenes are being filmed on the streets of Glasgow, which is doubling for Gotham City in the movie.
What the Leaked Footage Shows
The set videos provide a clear picture of what seems to be a major set piece in the movie. The footage begins with police officers opening fire on the Batmobile. Since the vehicle is bulletproof, the gunfire does not cause any visible damage. The Batmobile then moves through the streets while multiple police cars chase after it.
At one point, the Batmobile becomes completely surrounded by Gotham PD vehicles. A SWAT vehicle is also seen ramming into the Batmobile during the sequence. The officers fire at the car from point-blank range, creating an intense and dangerous scene.
The winter setting is very noticeable in all the footage. The streets are covered in fake snow, matching earlier reports that the sequel would take place during a cold season. Director Matt Reeves had already given fans a small hint about this when he posted a picture of the Batmobile on social media with the caption “#SnowTires”.
Batman’s Alliance With GCPD Appears Broken
The first movie showed Batman building a working relationship with the Gotham City Police Department, especially with Lieutenant Jim Gordon. By the end of the film, Batman had saved the mayor and other citizens from the Riddler, and public opinion about him seemed to be improving.
But these new set videos suggest that alliance has completely fallen apart. The footage clearly shows the police chasing and firing at the Batmobile. This indicates that Batman is now being treated as an outlaw in the sequel. It remains unclear whether this conflict also puts Batman at odds with Gordon personally. Jeffrey Wright is returning as Jim Gordon alongside Robert Pattinson as Bruce Wayne.
Mystery Blonde Woman Spotted in Batmobile
Adding to the intrigue, some set videos appear to show a blonde woman sitting in the passenger seat of the Batmobile. The quality of the footage makes it hard to identify her with certainty. Many fans have speculated that this could be Scarlett Johansson, who has been reported to be part of the cast.
Director Matt Reeves confirmed Johansson’s casting through a social media post featuring a GIF from the movie Under the Skin. Rumors have suggested she might be playing Gilda Dent, the wife of Harvey Dent. However, nothing has been officially confirmed yet.
There is also speculation that Batman might be protecting this woman from the police, which could explain why the GCPD is hunting him down so aggressively.
New Cast Members and Returning Faces
The Batman Part II brings back several familiar faces from the first movie. Robert Pattinson returns as Bruce Wayne and his crime-fighting alter ego. Jeffrey Wright is back as Jim Gordon, Andy Serkis returns as Alfred Pennyworth, and Colin Farrell reprises his role as Oz Cobb. Farrell is reportedly only appearing in a couple of scenes.
The sequel also introduces several new cast members. Sebastian Stan, Brian Tyree Henry, Scarlett Johansson, Charles Dance, and Sebastian Koch have all joined the ensemble.
Stan’s role has been a subject of much discussion. Many have speculated that he is playing Harvey Dent, the Gotham City District Attorney who eventually becomes the villain Two-Face. In a recent interview with the French newspaper Le Journal du Dimanche, Stan was asked about his role but did not give any clear answers. He said he could not say anything about Matt Reeves’ movie. So it remains unclear if Stan is playing Harvey Dent or another character like Victor Zsasz.
Even if Harvey Dent does appear in the sequel, fans probably will not see him transform into Two-Face in this movie. Matt Reeves mentioned last September that the second movie would feature a villain who has never been seen in a Batman movie before. Since Two-Face has appeared in Batman Forever and The Dark Knight, his transformation into the villain will likely happen at a later date.
Filming in Glasgow
Production on The Batman Part II started in Glasgow around August 18, 2026. The city has been used as a stand-in for Gotham City in the franchise before. Filming is expected to continue for several weeks across different locations in the Scottish city.
The production has turned parts of Glasgow into a winter version of Gotham, with fake snow covering the streets. The Batmobile was first spotted in the city on August 17, with footage showing the iconic vehicle entering an underground car park.
The sequel has faced several delays since it was first announced. It was originally scheduled for release on October 2, 2026, but was later pushed back. DC Studios co-head James Gunn addressed the five-year gap between the original movie and its sequel, noting that such gaps between sequels are not uncommon in the film industry.
