Glasgow Batgirl movie: First footage emerges of Michael Keaton's Batman filming scenes

The first footage has emerged of Michael Keaton's Batman filming scenes for Batgirl in Glasgow.

Pics surfaced online over the weekend of the Caped Crusader on the set of the much anticipated HBO Max flick under the Kingston Bridge in the Kingston area.

The images, taken by a passerby, sent movie and comic book fans into overdrive - especially since it showed that Keaton will suit up as the Gotham vigilante in the same suit he wore in both Batman and Batman Returns.

Now a video has surfaced showing Michael Keaton's Batman - or his stunt double - doing a take alongside his closest ally Gotham City PD Commissioner Jim Gordon (played by JK Simmons) and a bunch of Gotham baddies and cops.

The announcement that Keaton would be returning as Batman - a role he first played back in Tim Burton's iconic 1989 movie - was confirmed by Batgirl actress Leslie Grace back in December via Twitter, when she tweeted the line "the bat's out the bag".

And Batman's appearance in the movie comes after a mural of Keaton's Caped Crusader - alongside Robin - appeared on set in the Trongate area, which was transformed into Gotham City neighbourhood Cherry Hill for filming, with fake shop fronts and signage.

Filming is ongoing in the city centre, with scenes being shot in the old Savings Bank on Ingram Street this weekend.
