That being said, set photos are virtually impossible to prevent, and despite only having started shooting in the last couple of weeks, we’ve already seen a few low-quality images from the production. Something as high-profile as The Batman is always going to be followed closely by both fans and curious spectators, and now it looks as though we may have caught our first glimpse of Bruce Wayne’s Batcycle.
