The Batman has finally gone to the big screens, with the current box office being $248.5 million during the opening weekend! What a way to bring a movie out!
This film was actually made in 3 main locations across the UK. Liverpool, Glasgow, and London were among the places that doubled as Gotham City.
For a short time during the week in October 2020, there were reports that there was a dark figure standing on top of the famous Liver Building, however, this was the first sighting of the new film The Batman.
Liverpool’s waterfront had become the dark heart of Gotham City for a short while during filming. There was a part in the film where Batman was seen jumping and or leaping from the roof. The Giant Liver Bird has been airbrushed out during the transformation.

This is what was said by the production designer James Chinlund.
“The idea [was] that in the 1920s and 30s, there was this incredible boom. So we wanted this base layer of crumbling, decaying ornament,” he says. “And at various points in Gotham’s history, the idea was that there were these attempts at revival and renewal.”
