Batgirl spotted keeping tabs on Gotham baddies from Glasgow tenement

Batgirl has been spotted keeping tabs on the baddies of Gotham City - from a third floor Glasgow tenement no less.

Footage captured by one local on Parnie Street in the Trongate area showed a scene being filmed depicting Batgirl looking down on some 'dodgy' goings-on near to the specially-built warehouse next to the old TJ Hughes department store.

Film crews captured the scene with Batgirl - wearing her Batsuit - stationed atop a platform level with the window of a third floor corner tenement at King Street and Parnie Street, with a camera filming her from behind or the side.

Leslie Grace - or indeed her stunt double - appeared to be wearing night goggles for the scene, which also showed Batgirl standing next to a false cornice to give the illusion that the vigilante was standing on top of a building.

Meanwhile below, a red delivery van with 'Bressi' written on it was being driven round a corner onto King Street from Parnie Street.

As we reported at the weekend, movie and comic book fans across the globe were treated to a first look at Batgirl's suit via a photo published on social media by Leslie Grace and co-directors Adil El Arbi and Bilall Fallah.

Glasgow Live revealed that the suit reveal photo was staged on the roof of Glasgow City Chambers - helping to cement Glasgow's status as Gotham City.
