Batgirl production crew have been slated after locals told of heavy-handed bouncers on the set on their doorstep.
They claim they have been “accosted” by security guards while trying to get to their own homes.
The blockbuster has been shooting for a month, including in St Andrews Street in Glasgow’s Merchant City.
Locals were told by American Night Productions to expect disruption and were even offered earplugs to block out any noise.
But some residents have been left up in arms over the impact the production has had on their lives.
They claim guards have grabbed and intimidated them.
There have also been complains of noisy explosions and blinding set lights into the early hours.
Care worker Paul Smith, 50, said: “There were hundreds of people directly outside my tenement every night.
“I’d wake up and my whole house would be lit up by massive strobes like there was a UFO outside and the noise was horrific.
“But it got totally out of hand when residents were accosted in the street.”
Paul says he left his home on to go shopping and returned in late afternoon.
He said: “The road was blocked off to stop traffic but there wasn’t anything to block the pavement.
"As I was walking along to reach my home, I could hear someone shouting behind me.
“Then I felt my right arm being tugged at. It was a young female security guard saying I couldn’t go down there.
“I said I lived here and kept walking and she followed, shouting.
"I was directly outside my close door when another female security guard put hands on me.
“She apologised for that but the other worker didn’t. I don’t expect to walk down my own street and have hands put on me.
“All the crew were looking at me as if I was in the wrong. I was left embarrassed just for going about my own business in my street.
“A production manager took my number but never had the courtesy to phone back. Other residents have been annoyed too.
"There were too many people and too much machinery, like massive cherry-pickers, for such a small area.
“I’m all for bringing in money and prosperity, but not when it’s right outside your front door, starting from 8am to the early hours.”
Another resident, who asked not to be named, said a security guard “physically blocked” him.
He tried to explain he’d only left to pop to the shops but was met with “intimidation” by security.
The movie stars Leslie Grace as Batgirl and sees Michael Keaton return to his iconic role as the Caped Crusader.
American Night Productions distributed letters to locals and firms to advise of late-night filming.
They did not respond to requests to comment.
