THE name of the new Batman movie, currently being filmed in Glasgow, could have been revealed after it was spotted on the ID badges of the stunt team.
Twitter user @animation_free said they were able to get close enough to the production team to see the possible movie title on the lanyards and IDs of the staff.
While the movie is currently listed as The Batman, this spot could indicate either a name change or an attempt to distract the public.
#GlesgaBatman - Got really close to the production on the set of #TheBatman🦇 in Glasgow. So close in fact, I can confirm that the film's working title -Batman: Vengeance is on the ID's of the stunt team. pic.twitter.com/E8cD8pFrFI

In the images shared, a yellow lanyard can be seen with the word "vengeance" on it, and the tweet indicated the person was close enough to read the IDs, which said: "Batman: Vengeance".

While this is not yet definitive proof of the title – many movies use placeholder names called working titles – it may indicate that the movie is a throwback to or inspired by the 2001 video game of the same name.
Working titles are often used during movie development to disguise the name of the project. Given the fact that a man in Batman's signature outfit was spotted on set, it would be a tough job to conceal what the filming is for.
The bike present in the image is the same type that is present in our previous coverage of the set in Glasgow – reducing the likelihood that this is a hoax.
The production came to the city for the new Warner Bros and DC Comics movie being released next year, with road closures in place until today.
Crews were set up around the Necropolis cemetery near Glasgow Cathedral and Glasgow Royal Infirmary – with someone in the famous suit spotted riding a motorcycle.
However, it is thought to be a stuntman seen rather than Twilight star Robert Pattinson, who will portray the dual role of Bruce Wayne and the Batman.

Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
