In August 2020, American filmmaker Matt Reeves, who directed the upcoming superhero film, confirmed 75% of production would take place in Liverpool.
Matt was asked by a fan at DC FanDome: "What should we expect to see from Gotham City in this film?"
He responded: "It's just as important as any of the Rogues Gallery, it's sort of like the nature of this place is and the history of it is critically important to our story.
"One of the things I really wanted to do because it is the centre of this story, especially the history of corruption in the city, was I wanted to present it in a way that was really fleshed out.
"I wanted it to feel like an American city you'd never been to."

Matt addedd: "Let's say there's like a Gotham Square, so that's like Times Square, right, now if we shot it in Times Square then you'd be like I guess Gotham is New York.
"But in our case, it's actually going to be Liverpool and the i dea is to go to Liverpool, where there is all the foundation of the Gothic architecture and then add all of the more modern structures through CG.
"But in a way, that when you see the movie, you'll be like: 'Hey where's the city, where did they shoot?'

"So the aspect of Gotham and realising it has been for me one of the great pleasures in getting to mount the movie."
In October 2020, filming took place at St George's Hall, Anfield Cemetery and the Royal Liver Building.
Robert Pattinson, Zoe Kravitz and Colin Farrell were filmed around St. George's Hall and in the passageway which leads from William Brown Street down into the cells underneath the hall.
In the reboot of the franchise, Mr Pattinson will take over the iconic role from Ben Affleck who donned the famous Batsuit for big-budget films Batman vs Superman and The Justice League.

Photographs from the scene at St George's Hall showed props covering the stairs of the hall, teasing upcoming plotlines.
Flowers and tributes adorned the stairs, as well as a framed picture.
A helicopter could also be seen circling the Liver Building to film heart-stopping scenes, which involved what appeared to be a stuntman looking out over the city from a ledge of the iconic building.
Passers-by snapped videos and pictures of the incredible stunt, with crews on location at the Pier Head.

The black helicopter appeared to be focused on a balcony area above the clock face which faces towards The Strand.
What looked like a red back-light could also be seen inside the famous building, with a man in full Batman costume secured by a harness looking out over the city.
A stunt double for Batman and Catwoman were also spotted outside Anfield Cemetery on motorbikes.
