The filming locations for Batman vary depending on the specific Batman movie:
- For the classic 1989 Batman film directed by Tim Burton, most scenes were filmed in England, especially around Manchester, London, and Cambridgeshire. Key locations included Wayne Manor filmed at Knebworth House (Hertfordshire), the Axis Chemical Works interior at Acton Lane Power Station (London), and the exterior at Little Barford Power Station (Cambridgeshire). The Gotham Globe offices were filmed at St Pancras Renaissance Hotel in London.
- The Batman (2022) starring Robert Pattinson was primarily filmed in the United Kingdom, notably in Liverpool, Glasgow, and London. Liverpool provided many Gotham City locations including St. George’s Hall as Gotham City Hall, and London locations included Printworks London (used as Penguin's nightclub). Other shooting took place in Glasgow and at Warner Bros. Leavesden Studios. Some exterior scenes were also shot in Chicago. These places were chosen to create a darker, more grounded aesthetic for Gotham City.
- Batman Begins (2005) was filmed across various locations including London, Buckinghamshire, Essex, and Iceland, with Wayne Manor scenes at Mentmore Towers and Gotham City Police Station scenes at The Farmiloe Building in London.
In summary, Batman movies have been filmed in multiple locations across England (including London, Hertfordshire, Buckinghamshire, Liverpool, and Cambridgeshire), Scotland (Glasgow), the United States (Chicago), and Iceland, depending on the film version.
