Robert Pattinson's The Batman stops filming

Production on The Batman, starring Robert Pattinson as the caped crusader, is shut down due to coronavirus.

The upcoming reboot movie The Batman starring Robert Pattinson in the lead role has stopped filming in the wake of the coronavirus outbreak.

The 10th movie in the DC Extended Universe, which sees Pattinson take over from Ben Affleck as a younger version of the caped crusader, is due for release in June 2021.

Seven weeks of shooting had been completed in London before the decision was taken to halt production due to the spread of the deadly disease around the world.

Director Matt Reeves confirmed on Twitter: "Yes, we have shut down till it is safe for us all to resume... Everyone safe for the moment"

As yet the release date for The Batman has not been changed.
