Holy handbrake turns! UK filming of latest Batman movie is halted after crew member is run over by Batmobile
Filming of *The Batman Part II* at Leavesden Studios in Hertfordshire was halted after a crew member was reportedly run over by the Batmobile during a scene. The unnamed person was taken to hospital, treated and is recovering at home; production has since resumed.
The incident is said to have happened earlier this month during an ambitious action scene involving the muscle-car version of the Batmobile from Matt Reeves’s first film. Robert Pattinson returns as Batman, alongside Colin Farrell, Scarlett Johansson and Andy Serkis, with the sequel due for release in February 2028. Reeves is working with Steven Soderbergh, who stepped in to help while Reeves attends to a family matter.
In short
- A crew member was injured during filming of *The Batman Part II*.
- Production paused briefly and has since resumed.
- The sequel is scheduled for February 2028.
Explained simply
Batman is a fictional crime-fighting character published by DC Comics. In the films directed by Matt Reeves, Robert Pattinson plays Bruce Wayne, the wealthy man behind the mask, and the Batmobile is his distinctive car.
The sequel is being filmed at Leavesden Studios, a major film-production site in Hertfordshire. Large action scenes can involve complex coordination between performers, vehicles and crew, so an injury on set can lead to work being paused while the incident is dealt with.
