Bothwell Street has been transformed into Gotham City, with passers-by being able to get a glimpse of production during the day when the crew are not shooting.

In addition to getting pictures of the transformed area, locals have been trying to sneak in cans of Irn-Bru to add a Scottish Easter egg into the movie.

The Sun reported that on-set security had begun searching bins and hot dog stands for the drink, which has a distinct orange design, given the regularity of people trying to leave them there.

Irn-Bru is produced in Scotland and has been the country’s best-selling drink for over a century, out-selling fellow soft drinks such as Coca-Cola.

The company also produced an unofficial Scottish anthem for the World Cup, featuring Susan Boyle and Franz Ferdinand’s Alex Kapranos.

The song, ‘It Only Takes One Lion’, was shown during ad breaks during the summer tournament.

The sequel is scheduled for release on February 18, 2028.
