Why film in Glasgow?

Glasgow is a popular location for filmmakers because its Victorian architecture can stand in for many different cities, including American ones like Gotham. The city offers diverse backdrops, from grand civic buildings to gritty industrial areas, and often provides financial incentives and experienced local crews, making it an attractive choice for big productions like Batman.
