There is a new Batman and he has a new vehicle of choice, as these images captured during filming of The Batman in London reveal.

The Batman will star Robert Pattinson in the lead role alongside Andy Serkis, Alfred Pennyworth, Zoe Kravitz, Jeffrey Wright, and Colin Farrell, among others. A series of images show Pattinson (or one of his stunt doubles) sitting on a blacked-out motorcycle that looks likely to be featured prominently throughout the film.

Limited details about The Batman are known, but it has been in the works for almost five years. Ben Affleck was originally set to reprise his role as Batman in the new film and also help direct it. However, in January 2019, it was revealed that this wouldn’t be the case and Affleck would no longer be involved in the project. In late May 2019, Robert Pattison was officially cast in the leading role and, for now, filming locations outside of London remain unknown.

For us car enthusiasts, it will be particularly interesting to see what kind of Batmobile will be featured in the new film. It is claimed that a man by the name of Ash Thorps has been tasked with designing a new Batmobile. Thorps has previously worked on Assassin’s Creed, The Amazing Spider-Man 2, Total Recall, Person of Interest, RoboCop, and others. As The Batman isn’t expected to be set in the current day but rather the 1990s, something retro-inspired is possible – preferably with lots of “toys” onboard too.

The Batman is scheduled to be released in North America on June 25, 2021.
