The Batman: 10 Huge New Reveals From Director Matt Reeves At DC FanDome

10. Gotham City Will Be Unlike Any Other Previous Version

The Batman is being shot in the UK, a surprise considering the fact that there aren't many cities there that could double for Gotham City. However, Matt Reeves has some unique tricks up his sleeve, and is using British architecture to give the fictional location a gothic feel before adding the city's skyline into proceedings courtesy of visual effects.

"The idea is to go to Liverpool," the filmmaker told fans on Saturday, "where there's all the foundation of the Gothic architecture, and then add all of the more modern structures in through CG, but in a way that when you see the movie, now that I've blown it, of course, I've told you what it is, but you'll be like, 'Hey! Where's that city? Where do they shoot?'"

Tim Burton's Gotham City was created with soundstages, while filmmakers like Christopher Nolan and Zack Snyder would later use cities like Chicago and Detroit to double for Bruce Wayne's home. Reeves, meanwhile, has his own very specific idea for how it should look, and it definitely feels like comic book fans won't have anything to complain about.
