The Batman Part 2 Set Photos Hint at Arkham-Style Batsuit Upgrade
Some possible spoilers about The Batman: Part II may be revealed in these set photos.
New photos from the Glasgow set of The Batman: Part II reveal a closer look at the Dark Knight’s updated batsuit in the sequel. The overall new look has some fans thinking it’s a nod to the batsuit in the Arkham video games.
The armor appears to be darker and shinier than it was in The Batman, while the cowl’s ears are a bit longer. Most notable is the addition of a mustard-colored utility belt.
Other fans claim, however, that the suit isn’t noticeably darker or shinier than it was in the 2022 film and that it may just be the result of the way the set is lit.

Robert Pattinson’s stunt double Rick English can be seen in costume in the set photos.
Some photos show a bloodied Batman who then commandeers a Gotham City Police motorcycle and escapes by ramping off the hood of a GCPD car.
This most recent batch of set photos continue to document the filming of a massive police chase of the Batmobile.
The Batmobile itself appears in pretty bad shape after some barrel rolls, which would explain why Batman ends up stealing a police motorcycle to escape.
While director Matt Reeves and Pattinson’s stunt double are filming in Glasgow, Pattinson is at the Venice International Film Festival promoting his new film Primetime, wherein he portrays To Catch a Predator host Chris Hansen.
In his 9/10 Primetime review, IGN critic Siddhant Adlakha writes that "Robert Pattinson sets the screen ablaze as a heightened, petulant Chris Hansen in Lance Oppenheim’s Primetime, a sleazy throwback to the rise of reality TV. A dramatized retrospective on To Catch a Predator, it taps into our base hunger for lurid spectacle, while framing practically every character as a selfish opportunist — a predator in their own way."
