The first trailer for Warner Bros.' upcoming superhero blockbuster The Batman has been unveiled.

Fans of the Caped Crusader relished the chance to get a first look at the upcoming film, which stars Robert Pattinson in the dual role of Bruce Wayne and Batman and is due for release in 2021.

But moviegoers in Glasgow have even more reason to be excited.

That's because the trailer includes shots of recognisable landmarks, with on-location filming for The Batman taking place in Scotland's biggest city earlier this year.

Here's everything you need to know.

When did filming take place?

Filming for The Batman began in Glasgow in February 2020, with the production giving eagle-eyed onlookers a first glimpse of the Dark Knight's new suit.

The production came to the Scottish city for the new Warner Bros and DC Comics movie, facilitating a number of road closures including Wishart Street, Ladywell Street, Cathedral Square, Drygate and John Knox Street.

However, it was thought to be a stuntman seen filming in the city's Necropolis cemetery, rather than Pattinson.

As rehearsals progressed, the costumed man could be seen wiping the rain away from his goggles as the city - thought to be doubling up as Gotham - was hit with a yellow weather warning for wet conditions.

What can be seen in the trailer?

The trailer features multiple shots of Glasgow, although visual trickery and Hollywood's artistic license means the city doesn't look quite the same as it does in real life.

Most noticeable is its Necropolis cemetery, one of the locations where filming was seen taking place earlier in the year.

The location's cameo in the trailer sent fans into a frenzy, with many hypothesising that Batman's famous Batcave lair may well be located "under" the city's graveyard.

"I just freaked seeing the Bat Bike driving through the Necropolis," said one fan on Twitter. "We all have our nerd things."
