Overview
- Director Matt Reeves confirmed principal photography has begun and crews closed the Silver Jubilee Bridge for weekend filming, with the most visible work taking place on Saturday evening.
- Film teams sprayed artificial snow across the bridge and lined up vehicles branded with ‘Gotham’ utility names to create a snowy Gotham City backdrop.
- Videos and on-site reports showed staged emergency vehicles and a follow-up motorcyclist in dark clothing that resembled the franchise’s ‘Drifter’ disguise.
- Halton Council implemented road and footpath closures, diverted traffic across the Mersey Gateway, and ran a shuttle for pedestrians and cyclists during the shoot to manage safety and access.
- The bridge work follows confirmed photography at the Birkenhead tunnel earlier in the week and is part of wider Merseyside shoots for the sequel, which trade reports say returns Robert Pattinson with new cast members and has a theatrical window moved to 2028.
