Location filming for the upcoming movie “The Batman” is underway in the U.K. and the caped crusader has been spotted riding around London and Glasgow on a new Bat-Bike.
It’s not clear if Batman actor Robert Pattinson or just a stuntman is on set, but photos of the action offer the first good look at the motorcycle. Unlike the futuristic Batpod from Christian Bale’s “The Black Knight,” Pattinson’s appears to be a relatively conventional motorcycle with a headlight fairing shaped like a bat’s head and an extended rear swingarm.
If this is indeed a Fat Bob, more positive adverting synergy for the MoCo. I think it looks much better than the silly looking bike in the last few batman flicks.

Looking at the exhaust...and there appears to be a matching set on the other side..I would say it is a 4 cylinder bike...
We also notice an air-cooled boxer engine on the Batpod, which could mean a BMW or a Moto Guzzi motorcycle is underneath all that custom panels. Also, do notice the wide front wheel and super-wide rear tyre on the motorcycle.
