HOLLYWOOD star Robert Pattinson has spoken of his love for Glasgow as The Batman premiere took place in London.
The US actor, who is starring in the film, added that he was disappointed the cast wasn't able to film in person in Scotland.
Parts of the movie were shot in Scotland's biggest city, with the Necropolis set as Gotham City in one trailer.

The blockbuster's premiere finally took place in the UK's capital following months of delays due to Covid.
Pattinson is joined on the film with stars Colin Farrell, Paul Dano, Andy Serkis and Zoe Kravitz.
Speaking to STV News at the red carpet event, Pattinson said he was excited to see fans' reactions to the next phase of the Batman franchise.
He said: “It’s surreal. This is going to be the first audience that have ever seen it outside of friends and family or people who won’t tell me the truth."
He continued: "We were supposed to be there for a month. It’s very disappointing. I love Glasgow though.”

Director Matt Reeves added that the crew loved shooting the film in Scotland.
He told STV: “I wish we could have shot there more. It’s such a beautiful place.
“We shot in the Necropolis and we wanted to do some other things. But, you know, because of Covid and the time, it was very targeted what we did. But I hope we’ll be back.”
The Batman will be released in the UK on Thursday.
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!
