New footage from the set of Matt Reeves’ upcoming film The Batman has been released, showing several of the costumed movie stars on location in Liverpool as classic comic book characters

The images show star Robert Pattinson as Bruce Wayne, along with other big names including Zoe Kravitz and John Turturro as Catwoman and Carmine Falcone respectively

But the most breathtaking image shows Colin Farrell as Oswald’s Cobblepot – AKA The Penguin – with the actor rendered unrecognizable due to heavy prosthetics

Filming took place in Liverpool and the scene pictured appears to be a funeral in Gotham

There are footage of crowded stages filled with mourners and other Gotham cops, while some of the photos also show protesters holding up signs saying « our day of judgment » and « lies, lies, lies ”

It appears the funeral in question concerns the character played by Spooks star Rupert Penry-Jones, with speculation he could play Gotham Mayor Don Mitchell Jr – one of the Riddler’s first casualties

Filming for the superhero blockbuster only resumed over the weekend after several delays caused by the ongoing coronavirus pandemic

Production initially resumed in late August, but was then halted days later after Batman frontman Robert Pattinson was reportedly tested positive for coronavirus

The film has already seen its release date significantly pushed back due to complications from the pandemic, with its original date in June 2021 having first been postponed to October next year and now to March 2022

The Batman will see Pattinson take on the role of the Caped Crusader for the first time as part of a huge ensemble cast that also includes Paul Dano as The Riddler, Andy Serkis as Alfred Pennyworth’s Butler, Kravitz as Catwoman, Farrell as The Penguin, Jeffrey Wright as James Gordon, Turturro as Carmine Falcone and Barry Keoghan as Stanley Merkel

Pattinson will become the latest in a long line of A-listers to play the superhero, and hopes to do better than Christian Bale, who was voted by fans as the best Batman of all time in a recent RadioTime Poll. com
