Matt Reeves<\/strong>‘ highly-anticipated upcoming superhero flick The Batman<\/strong><\/em> is set to film in Chicago, IL in October. This news comes hot off of previous reports that the project had recently resumed production after star Robert Pattinson<\/strong>, the titular Caped Crusader, had been cleared of a previously positive diagnosis of COVID-19.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Production Weekly<\/a><\/em>, a subscription-based website that collects and collates data on current production tracks for projects of major film studios, recently reported that Warner Bros. Pictures’ The Batman<\/em> is set to film in Chicago in the month of October. The report was then verified by ComicBook.com who, through a report by Screen Magazine<\/em>, confirmed that filming is booked for five days across two weekends, those of October 16-18 and October 24-25. According to ComicBook.com<\/a>, filming will take place in downtown Chicago and feature what it describes as “extensive driving sequences”.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As previously reported by TCN<\/a>, a crewmember working on the set of The Batman<\/em> was revealed to have tested positive for COVID-19, otherwise known as the Novel Coronavirus, in a report by Variety<\/a><\/em> on September 4, 2020. In another report by Vanity Fair<\/a><\/em>, the crewmember in question was confirmed to be The Bats himself. R-Patts <\/em>does seem to have rebounded, however, as filming for the picture resumed on September 17.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

As noted by ComicBook.com, DC films in particular have a long history of using Chicago as a filming location. All of Zack Snyder’s contributions to the DC Films canon, those being Man of Steel<\/em>, Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice<\/em>, and Zack Snyder’s Justice League<\/em>, as well as David Ayer’s Suicide Squad<\/em> and Christopher Nolan’s The Dark Knight<\/em> trilogy, have made extensive use of Chicago’s landscape as a backdrop for their stories.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Batman<\/em> is set to be released on October 1, 2021. Directed by Matt Reeves, the film stars Robert Pattinson as Bruce Wayne\/Batman, Andy Serkis as Alfred Pennyworth, Jeffrey Wright as James Gordon, and an ensemble cast comprised of Batman’s Rogues Gallery, including Zo\u00eb Kravitz as Selina Kyle\/Catwoman, Paul Dano as Edward Nigma\/The Riddler, Colin Farrell as Oswald Cobblepot\/The Penguin, and John Turturro as Carmine Falcone. Additionally, twins Charlie and Max Carver have been cast in undisclosed roles. The film is set within DC’s Multiverse in a separate continuity from Ben Affleck’s celebrated take on the role, and takes inspiration from Mike W. Barr’s Year Two<\/em> storyline.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
