Which vehicle do you want to see in the third one?

[TheRumbleDragon]

My answer.... THE BATWING!

[NinjaTurtleFan]

It is indeed time for the Batwing or Batboat. But I do want to see Bruce modding and customizing the lambourgini into the Batmobile. The Tumbler was a hot ride; a moveable humvee/tank crossbreed. But I want to see a sleeker, sexier looking ride for Batman. And like I said I think him working on a new Batmobile would be much obliged. I also think Batman needs a new suit. "TDK" is one you just got to get use to, but I think it's time Batman gets a suit that's gray and black like the comics. He's never been seen with those two colors together in a movie and I think the time calls for it.

[Nepenthes]

A boat is the obvious choice considering Gothams network of canals and such. Something like a small dolphin submersible would be cool, jumping out of water onto land or even boarding other ships, going through sewers, etc. It could stick to the side of large ship like a barnacle.

I think a sleeker Lambo-type batmobile is almost guaranteed now

[Killing Joke926]

I'm personally happy with the Batpod and Tumbler already; but if anything else definatly the Batwing (may have to jazz up the name though). :brucebat:

[last_life]

I want to one up people on here.

Batmobile that is still tank like but more streamlined. When he shows up at one point the criminals get on boats and kick off into the bay thinking they can escape, but then find out that Bat's new ride is a amphibious vehicle! :woot:

[Two-Face]

I would love to see Batwing :up:

[MiniBond]

Yep......I'm all in for the batwing too !:cwink::cwink:

[Nepenthes]

It can't just be a stealth fighter jet though, it's too boring and perhaps even slightly out ofm place. A smaller armoured weaponised glider or a zippy sideways moving twisty turn-y type thing would be better

If you want to get really weird maybe just stick him in a rocket and be done with it. Like an actual tube with fins and a pointy end, that'd be insane. He inputs the destination eg corner of Neal and Finger street and a friggin rocket just blasts him over Gotham and he glides down like a bat.

Here is the thing that I want them to keep from the original Batmobile that I love...can it plow through everything on the planet and resist most kind of weapons thrown at it?

Even though there could be a better, sleeker design, I think the tank aspect of the car is just too good to drop.

[isaias7]

I think the Batwing is the perfect choice,considering they should start trying to connect batman with the outside of Gotham and to Justice League.

Yeah, this would work well. Slap a bat insignia on the front of the hood and add some pop-out machine guns, tacks, grappling hook, net, smokescreen canisters, etc. and you got it. I also think it's ABOUT TIME Bruce actually start naming his car Batmobile, or his plane The Batwing, or naming the cave the Batcave. Sure, it's gimmicky, but I think Bruce would realize he cannot escape his Batman identity and now he's slowly embracing it, giving up his normal life, and becoming only one single identity instead of three.

[TNC9852002]

The last Gotham Tonight segment sort of implied both aerial and underwater capabilities for new technology at WE, so..

-TNC

[carnage17]

bat plane!

[protoctista]

I cant see the actual use for a Batwing.

If he needs to travel somewhere far away (we know he's going to Hong Kong for this one) then he can get private jets anyway.

Taking Batman in the air seems somehow fantastical and fan-boyish, no matter how you techno-fy it. Unless one villain starts bombin Gotham from the air, I can't see why batman would decide it was an essential tool for fighting crime (essential as in; worth spending so much money on).


A batboat however, or an amphibious vehicle, would be logical, because of Gotham's waterways/port. It would allow a really neat surprise attack on a group of smuggling criminals/escaping mobster for batman to be able to attack on the water.

[Golgo-13]

I'm leaning more towards some kind of flying vehicle..but is that too far fetched in Nolans world? And seeing as how Batman can already fly/glide, will Nolan even consider it?

I'd also like to see the return of The Tumbler.

[Gexmeister]

Before TDK i wanted him to have a Batplane, maybe some kind of fighter jet developed by Wayne Industries. I then realized that it'd be pretty silly. So I'd just like the tumbler to return, don't really like Bats to have too many vehicles.

[TLGunfighter]

Tumbler is best suited for the environment he's in, he can't fly a jet because, well c'mon a jet? How will that work in a city environment? And he won't stick to just the Batpod because it doesn't really offer any protection. I'd like to think of the Batpod as an escape pod not a primary mode of transportation. Perhaps Tumbler with upgrades and modifications?

[Byron Long]

Batwing doesn't make sense since he can glide around the city at will. I can see them going with a watercraft in addition to another Tumbler.

[Milkman95]

Gotta go with a boat, it's more realistic for Nolan's approach and Gotham's network of canals within the city it would work perfectly.

[Melkay]

But if you have Gotham's urban maps I'd be more than happy to take a look.

BTW, every time someone says "this or that is more realistic for Nolan's approach" a big smile appears in my face :yay:.
A boat more realistic? Than what?

[StorminNorman]

I want a sleek Batmobile. I was a fan of the Tumbler, but it wasn't what I would call a "Batmobile", it was a Bat-Tanks, which is awesome. Sometimes Batman needs a Battank.

Anyone who wants a Batwing, I would have to ask why? A plane is just about the last vehicle Batman would ever, ever, ever need.

A Bat-Hot Air Balloon makes more since than a Batplane.

[Mrs.J]

I want the tumbler back.

If a new vehicle is in the makings--it needs to have ALL the capabilities of the tumbler. Plow through walls--rocket launchers--armour--and above all---be INTIMIDATING. The whole shabang.

[SalaciousVC]

I would like to see the Tumbler and the Batpod return.

I guess the Batwing or the Batboat would be cool if needed in the film.

[Symbiotic]

"In combat, TWO of these would jump over a river..." The spare Tumbler perhaps? Of course, I wouldn't mind a new design either.

[I Am The Knight]

Batman needs a new "car" and obviously they left that option open in TDK.

Apart from that...I think they could use some kind of boat.

Batman: Alfred, my navigation computer indicates that I'm coming upon Nashton's hideout.

Alfred: So are you moving in on him, sir?

Batman: Yes, as soon as I find the nearest run way to land. I just hope no one will notice an unidentified aircraft being flown by a wanted felon.

So yeah, idea for new batmobile:

And of course, if people don't want a batjet or plane there is only one other option:

http://i42.photobucket.com/albums/e347/aasevan/Batcopter.jpg

:woot:

But really, I think he should rebuild the tumbler and a batpod return would be nice, but as for more vehicles, I say no dice. Not in Nolan's universe.

[solidsnake86]

I think they use a boat if anything because a plane is just well, not really possible. Not many people can just jump in and fly one, the technology used to create it may be beyond the scope of just lucious and Wayne and frankly its not even necessary because if he's fighting crime in gotham a plane is just not practical because there's no place to land the thing.

[Joker8906]

The map is straight from the comics. The aerial shot is from Batman Begins. These were plastered all over the boards three years ago, and someone did an overlay of the two, showing how Nolan seemingly sourced his Gotham from this map. As you can see, the city is an island, or a network of islands. Boat makes the most sense in terms of an addition to the Batmobile.

Really? Because what I see is... a bay, with an island on it, then just miles and miles city building spreading outside the frame.

Not unlike.... New York and Manhattan.

Canals? Network of islands? I don't see any of that. In Begins they refer to the Narrows as "the island". That must mean there's only one. And there's only on in the picture. But you know, people will say the craziest things in here, so don't take for granted anything you read.:yay:

[scifiwolf]

In the map the whole city is represented as an island, but the movie version isn't. For the most part, though, it seems like the movie version is something uses about 75% of the map for inspiration. Either way, I think there's enough water to justify the use of an aquatic vehicle.

Good god, now you have an idea about how much of the map Nolan used for his Gotham.... in percentage!
Let's say we only have the Bay and a river or two.
Let's say Batman is chasing a bad guy in the bay with his bat-boat. The abd guy get to the coast into a vehicle and flees inland, away from these only two rivers.
What does Batman do?
a) Docks the boat in a safe place before trying to figure out where the bad guy went.
b) Forgets that and chases the bad guy risking for someone to take the boat and learn about it technology.
c) Knock the heels three times and say: "There's no place like home, there's no place like home, there's no place like home." to magicallly go to the Batcave and get the Tumbler out to chase the villains.

... Not a good picture.

[batman44]

Aside from anoter Batmobile, I think the batboat would work very well.

[NoLongerSerious]

I know this is a stretch but I think it possible for Batman to eventually have a new batmobile and keep the batpod for a potential Robin. Now I'm no Robin fan by any means but Robin did always use a motocycle type vehicle so...

[ABongHalloween]

man as cool as it would be see the Nolanverse Batwing I gotta agree, why in gods name would Batman need it?!? to spot criminals on the ground and then have to jump out the plane and go get them. Then again who knows what the plot could call for. Burtons Batwing scene was awesome, even if it was destroyed in like 5 minutes.

and I still dont understand why people are so opposed to Dick Grayson/Robin. He's a HUGE part of the comics that we love, and Im sure they can find a clever way to write him. Not some wanna-be bad ass teenager or something. With all Bruces father issues it would make perfect sense for him to want to protect and take care of a boy, especially if his parents suffered a similar fate. Wheres that damn Robin topic?...

Which vehicle do you want to see in the third one?
Tumbler 2.0
..and maybe the Bat-Pod again
No Bat-Boat, Bat-Jet, Bat-Skateboard..

[CaptainClown]

ya, surprisingly I am against bat boats or bat jets or whatever I like the Tumbler and am fine with what it is capable of. Though if he modded it out I would be fine with that as well.

CaptainClown agrees with me! :woot:

[CaptainClown]

[Lobster Charlie]

If anything, we'll probably get an amphibious vehicle. Like a Tumbler that can hit the water and jump back onto land, seamlessly. Familiar but with a twist. Kind of like the Batpod--it was basically just a piece of the Tumbler.

That's just my guess, though.

It'll be fine. There's always a canal, or an inlet... or a fjord.

[The Guard]

Quiet! I will not hear another word against the boat!

However, I think, given the situation now, that what he really needs now is The Batcopter. Something akin to the Flying Batcave, albeit smaller. The GCPD will be using choppers to hunt him down, as they have done in two films so far. He doesn't really need a jet just to get around Gotham, and a new Batmobile will be almost impractical since he's one of Gotham's Most Wanted now. But a helicopter would be near perfect. Especially a copter than could transform into a submersible (I know, shades of FOREVER), or something like that. Some sort of stealth chopper, allowing him to make air escapes and avoid confronting as many cops as possible. Something we haven't seen in the movieverse, with a practical purpose. The action and cinematic potential is obvious.

[ABongHalloween]

hahaha Nightboat!

I could honestly do without the Batpod, as cool as it was. It does have a practical purpose, especially in the scenes where he was cutting through traffic, alleys, and buildings lol. (maybe practical wasn't the best word :brucebat:)

I don't see a need for a boat, plane, or otherwise.

Yeah I saw a piece about this on the Discovery channel it is definitely cool looking and exciting to watch in action. I could definitely see a version of this as his water vehicle sort of a submarine/boat.

What about an enhanced Bat-pod? Something sleek and powerful is the consensus here... so why not put the Batpod and give it an armor and some cover to make it look more like a missile?:o

A Batwing is cool, but to cross the city? The Batplane is more a cross country kind of thing, in my eyes. Now, normally, he would only need a car. But if he has a car, if he's a public enemy as he has been set up to be, he's going to be tailed everywhere he goes. By the cops, by the feds, you name it. Every single time he goes out he's going to be running from the cops on the ground, putting lives in danger, etc. In a chopper, he touches down, he does his business, and he takes off. He's going to be running from the cops, but only from the police/fed helicopters, in most cases, not ground vehicles. If his chopper is faster and more maneuverable than theirs, he'd be much better off than he would be sticking with a Batmobile, given the situation in Gotham now. And let's face it, we've seen the car chase. Twice.

[Milkman95]

^True, if this copter could be stealth with being able to run silent, it could be pretty cool. Small so he could maneuver well between buildings.

An air or water chase is the next possible step for this franchise.

[UA-Archangel]

Some sort of water vehicle would be best next vehicle, I think.

Something that can both do the bay and sewer system.

[sabetoonth]

how about a tumbler with the m,ain body having the abilty to detach or retract the two axis and then wait for it...









armoered water tumbler, that was suppessed to be a little cooler.

[howigotmyscars]

although a new mobile would be sweet, i think he should just fly around all primitive.

[Doc Samson]

Like others have pointed out, I don't see the need for the batwing since he floats around the city already, in BB he almost was flying, he was going pretty far to just be floating, but that's another discussion.....

Personally, I'd like to see him and fox get together and remodel a new Tumbler. Either make it sleeker, or go the whole way and make it a real tank this time

[Mach2Infinity]

Whilst Gotham isn't a floating city full of waterways, canals or one strewn with rivers. It still has a bay and presumably an accessable sewer system for the Batboat to traverse through. Not to mention that there's a waterfall at the back of the batcave and I imagine a river nearby that'll lead into the city?

I had toyed with the idea that a new 'Batmobile' could double as a water-borne vehicle. Much like how they used the Batpod to fid into the Tumbler, however I prefer the idea of using a separate vehicle. Still it would make a great scene where a criminal gang have started escaping with a speed boat, only for them to see the Batmobile flying into the water. The vehicle sudenly extends some hydrofoils and utilises other external extendable/retractable gear and launches after them aggressively (much like the Tumbler did).

As for a Batmobile, I'd far rather a complete new model with a similar concept to the Tumbler but more sleeker, smooth and streamlined. If the Tumbler was a 'bridging vehicle', then I'd like the new vehicle to be be an advanced stealth scout. Equipped with lighter but more tougher and durable armour, even able to withstand a direct hit from an RPG launcher. As for a name, I don't want 'Tumbler Mk II or Type II', the only name I can think of is Rapier but it's not a satisfying one.

[maxred]

My apologies for bothering you, but I just want to post my idea. After seeing this thread, I thought the ADF-01 FALKEN, or a fighter similar to its design, would make great batwing. I know that the third film may not have the batwing involved, but still what do you think?

[Ace of Knaves]

Yea I like the idea of a Bat-wing. Only if it's necessary though and I think if there was gonna be one it would of been necessary in TDK for the Hong Kong trip.

[krinshaw2]

I want a real Bat-Mobile. Not a Tumbler, or Pod. I did like the Tumbler but not that much. Bat-Wing would be cool too.

[Matt Murdock]

I'd prefer it if he simply drove around in the Tumbler.

[CaptainClown]

same with tumbler. I would hate for the mobile to get caught in traffic.

[Ace of Knaves]

Yea I wanna see a more I dunno, organic tumbler. Still some bad ass tank that can drive over anything and jump but just more sleeker and more Bat like.

[WeaponXProject]

I would like to see a new Tumbler with a more Batmobile look. A more aerodynamic look to it. But not too much. Still want it to be a tank.

[Quinzel]

I like the batwing.

But i heard that Nolan doens't wanna do that (not sure if it's true or not).
So since i don't really like the boat,

I'd have to say i wanna see the sleek batmobile, from Batman TAS.

[COMPO]

A Batwing is cool, but to cross the city? The Batplane is more a cross country kind of thing, in my eyes. Now, normally, he would only need a car. But if he has a car, if he's a public enemy as he has been set up to be, he's going to be tailed everywhere he goes. By the cops, by the feds, you name it. Every single time he goes out he's going to be running from the cops on the ground, putting lives in danger, etc. In a chopper, he touches down, he does his business, and he takes off. He's going to be running from the cops, but only from the police/fed helicopters, in most cases, not ground vehicles. If his chopper is faster and more maneuverable than theirs, he'd be much better off than he would be sticking with a Batmobile, given the situation in Gotham now. And let's face it, we've seen the car chase. Twice.

Batwing would be cool if Batman was going somewhere far away like hong kong but in a city its a bit much, though I rememebr in the animated episode Robin's Reckoning whwre Batman is shining a light down on the bad parts of Gotham and the people are running and hiding as they see the plane. That's something that would appeal to Bruce. But a batcopter as we seen in DKR would work with the predicament Batman's in now with him being hunted by the police.

Whilst Gotham isn't a floating city full of waterways, canals or one strewn with rivers. It still has a bay and presumably an accessable sewer system for the Batboat to traverse through. Not to mention that there's a waterfall at the back of the batcave and I imagine a river nearby that'll lead into the city?

Yeah, plus Batman could do what he does with the batmobile have it come out in like a dock area on intimidation mode scaring the crooks and also having the batboat firing at them to scare them even more.

I don't like the idea of the tumbler coming apart again though in Gotham Knight the anime cartoon between BB and TDK didn't we see the Batmobile, it was kinda sleek yet still looking like the Tumbler i think that'd be good= for the next one... maybe they were showing what's next.

Yea I like the idea of a Bat-wing. Only if it's necessary though and I think if there was gonna be one it would of been necessary in TDK for the Hong Kong trip.

Well if the Riddler is an FBI agent it would be cool if Batman flew to washington to get some info on Nygma.

I like the batwing.

But i heard that Nolan doens't wanna do that (not sure if it's true or not).
So since i don't really like the boat,

I'd have to say i wanna see the sleek batmobile, from Batman TAS.

It would be good if they took aspects of all the batmobiles for one of the future cars... like the Tumbler's big wheels, 89's cockpit, forever's fins (not the top ones taht seperate) and we'll forget about Batman and Robin.

[stellastarmaker]

well we have had the tumbler and the batpod but what should he have next

I agree......the need for Bruce to have to do that CIA sky hook and rent mercenaries with a plane, kinda sets this up. He needs some kind of flying wing.

I want the Manor and Bat Cave back too..... fully out fitted....

Another good question, what will the next be called? And it may not be "Bat-(insert vehicle name here)".

We've had:

Batmobile--> The Tumbler

Batpod--> The Batpod

Lamborghini--> The Lambo'Geenee'Den.

J/k about the last part. But does anything think that the Batwing may potentially be the first name that isn't altered? Or maybe named to reference another hero like Robin or Nightwing?

[stellastarmaker]

a sub lol

[Anjow1060]

i'm a fan of the jet personally. I mean, "a bat". And shape, design, and mobility of it comes the closest of all modern technology and vehicles.

The Batcopter. For so many awesome reasons.

[namtaB]

Talk about lackluster. We're looking at realistic militaristic and assault vehicles, and then we want that? I just can't see that EVER appearing in one of Nolan's films.

Realistic militaristic assault vehicles doesn't mean they have to have awkward angles and shapes. In 30 years the Air Force went from the Have Blue prototype to the F117 Nighthawk to the F22 Raptor all of which have stealth technology. With the Raptor they were able to maintain a stealth profile without the angles and bizarre contortions that were needed for the Nighthawk. Its still classified as to how they did this, but they did it. Bottom line if the military can achieve this feat there is no reason why Nolan can't introduce a more steam lined Batmobile in a fictional film and run into "realism" problems.

Realistic militaristic assault vehicles doesn't mean they have to have awkward angles and shapes. In 30 years the Air Force went from the Have Blue prototype to the F117 Nighthawk to the F22 Raptor all of which have stealth technology. With the Raptor they were able to maintain a stealth profile without the angles and bizarre contortions that were needed for the Nighthawk.

Where did I ever say they had to have these weird angles and shapes?

The Batdpod has no real weird "angles and shapes." It looks like a motorcycle with very few parts, guards for the arms, and giant wheels (and cannons, obviously).

Also, the stealth technology didn't really have much to do with the angles and shapes. It had more to do with the material that the plan was outfitted with. It didn't reflect the radar signals back to receivers, which is how it got by unnoticed.

I don't see any reason for some normal-looking car (sorry, I dunno brand names, I'm car-stupid) to be souped up with fins and a long hood to be present in these films. The appearance of all of Batman's stuff is tied together here, from the suit, to the gadgets, and then to the vehicles. They all have that black (and sometimes gold) armor, stealth-bomber look and feel. And on top of that, they look intimdating. Nothing about that the Batmobiles from the old series was intimidating. Each one looked more like something that, if I looked out of my window and saw one on the highway, I'd probably say, "Wow, nice!" not, "Holy ****, get out of that thing's way!" like I would for a Tumbler or Batpod.

[namtaB]

Wrong. As far as early stealth technology went ie. the F117 Nighthawk, it had everything to do with angles and shapes and much less to do with materials. That's why it looks the way it does. Its the angles and shapes that are primarily responsible for deflecting radar signals. These same angles and shapes made the plane barely flyable and extensive computer technology was required for the "wobbly goblin" as the pilots called it, to keep from crashing. Its only recently with the F22 Raptor that the actual materials have evolved to the point where the need for angles and diamond cut shapes is all but eliminated, however even the Raptor's canopy still retains that jagged shape at the seamline.

You can't rely on the Batpod as a stand alone design since it was created to seem like it formed from the Tumbler's mechanicals which composed the entire front end and wheels. The Tumbler uses the stealth fighter styling cues. This doesn't mean that a new batmobile have fins, but given what the military has done with their fighter aircraft, of which the Tumbler borrows styling cues, there is no reason why Nolan can't make a streamlined Batmobile and breaks the rules of realism.

EDIT: During 1975, Skunk Work engineers began working on an aircraft which would have a greatly reduced radar cross section that would make it all but invisible to enemy radars, but would nevertheless still be able to fly and carry out its combat mission. The technique that they came up with was known as faceting, in which the ordinarily smooth surface of the airframe is broken up into a series of trapezoidal or triangular flat surfaces. The surfaces were arranged in such a way that the vast majority of the radar incident on the aircraft will be scattered away from the aircraft at odd angles, leaving very little to be reflected directly back into the receiver. An additional reduction in radar cross section was to be obtained by covering the entire surface of the aircraft with radar absorbent material (RAM). One of the disadvantages involved in the use of faceting on aerodynamic surfaces was that it tended to produce an aircraft which was inherently unstable about all three axes - pitch, roll, and yaw.

You're aware that it doesn't deflect, it absorbs, right? The shapes just minimalized what radar signals were reflected back. It was not the primary reasoning behind the plane's usefulness. It was the material's ability to absorb the radar signals so they never made it back to their receivers.

Second, I don't get at all what you're trying to argue. I simply said I don't want to see a Batmobile similar to those in the old series of films (nor do I see it matching the rest of Batman's equipment), not that I would hate to see a "streamlined" vehicle. I'm talking about old, cadillac-looking stuff. I'd be all for a design that referenced older Batmobiles so long as it sticks to the current formula they seem to be using with the equipment now.

Tumbler version 2 would look cool as a six wheeled tank like the Armadillo from 'Gears of War'. On top of that, I'd make it a vehicle that runs on the road, on water and underwater. Something that makes people say "what the f is that?"

Just dirty it up and don't make it shiny, and you don't need to add the fins, if they serve no purpose.

Nothing says it can't be militaristic and sleek.

Nothing says it has to be a tank either

[Hiddensymbols]

Do you guys remember in one of the articles for The Gotham Times, during the viral, it said something about Wayne Enterprises and what they were developing? One of the things talked about was aircraft engines that were basically soundless to be used for stealth and what not. I hope that is somewhere they go as long as there is a legitimate reason behind it ( which after the last two movies I am not worried about nolan not doing). So I guess my vote is for a plane of some sort, or one thing that could be interesting is an experimental craft something like the Batman Beyond Batmobile, which they could pull from somewhat real tech. Check out the Moller Skycar.

[Agent X]

A sleek and fast car perhaps a modified Lambroghini which would be wicked sick!

[soulonsale]

If there is a next movie w/ the same crew, there won't be a jet-like batwing. Nathan Crowley, the production designer, was interviewed saying he'd much rather do a batboat;

“I'd quite like to do a Batboat -- I like the water. I'd much rather design a Batboat than a Batplane. A Batboat -- from my perspective -- is achievable. A Batplane isn't. Yeah, a Batboat would be fun.”

Somewhat true, they also warrant the director's objective as feasible or impracticable. They can only design what they are able to, and the director often has to reconcile.

[Rincewind]

God, I loved the Tumbler so much...

The next vehicle must be another car, I think. I don't see Batman using a plane in the Nolanverse and while a boat is plausible, it would seem pointless, unless he has to somehow deal with a villain's scheme that involves a lot of water or a hideout in open sea.

This is true but did you watch the special features of Batman Begins?
The Production Designer was the one who came up with the Tumbler idea, all Nolan said to him was we need a Batmoblie to present to WB, and the PD came up with the Tumbler and as we know Chris loved it.


I personally say just bring back the Tumbler the way it was, keep the Batpod, and give him a Batboat

[Ace of Knaves]

I wouldn't mind a Bat-wing, but really, what would he need it for? If he was going to ever need a Bat wing in any of these films surely it would of been for the trip to HK?

I want to see a rebuilt Tumbler, but more sleeker and rapid. More, Lamborghini-ish.

[margon]

If he was going to ever need a Bat wing in any of these films surely it would of been for the trip to HK?

but on the other hand the fact that he didn't have a batwing in Dark Knight draws attention to its necessity in further travels. hitching rides with korean smugglers is kind of inconvenient

[griffolyon12]

I really don't care so much about any more vehicles in the next film. My favorite, the Batcycle/Batpod has already been included, but if I had to make a choice I'd say the Batwing. It's more synonymous with a flying creature, rather than a boat.

When would Batman ever need the Batwing? Or an amphibious vehicle? Especially in Nolan's world. These are great in the comics, but I can't really see the point of them in the movies. Most likely we will just get a new Batmobile

What about that helicopter seat-thing Robin used to drive?

Ah, that rossxxxx beat me to it.

[Christmas]

I am anxious to see a revamped Bat Cave more than anything. It's not a vehicle I know, but chances are that's gonna be the new thing. More advanced Bat Cave, with laboratories, computers and such will be enough for me.

[AnorexicBatman]

I would love to see a large, black, six wheeled, low to the ground amphibious vehicle that can also go underwater. Something like the Cobra Amphibious Vehicle... and no not the GI Joe cobra. Also, the RAH-66 Comanche attack chopper is a wonderful template for a true bat-copter... no batwing though... unless it's the Justice League movie...

Awesome thing about about the Comanche is that it was scrapped. Just change the manufacturer's name from Boeing to Wayne Enterprises and you got your reason to have a real chopper

[mclay18]

That second tumbler Lucius has, plus the Batpod. Have the Batpod for lighter and more agile work, and then use the Tumbler for the muscle and stealth.

A Bat-copter or Batboat just doesn't seem to fit with Nolan's verse.

[Steelsheen]

the Batplane or some kind of flying contraption other than the cape-glider would be cool.

but ultimately what i'm hoping to see in Batman 3 would be the rebuilt Wayne Manor, the Batcave, the Batmobile and the Batcomputer. they've all been featured in the previous 2 films, but what i want is that by the time Batman 3 ends these key elements would have more permanence in Batman's arsenal.

[Faded To Deaf]

I'm so excited to see Batman fight criminals, cops, and maybe highly trained professionals, if they make a 3rd one.

[Voyeur]

I wouldn't mind seeing a revamped Batpod...one that can be ridden by more than one French stuntman.

[MILPERSMAN]

That is a land vehicle. We had a batmobile eluding the cops on rooftops, why because it made it almost impossible for the police to pursue the run away batmobile. How can cops, or anyone chase after the batman when he speeding thru a river . This is more realistic then driving on rooftops.
Its just special tires , and a whole lot of HP. Please give this some reconsideration. It will give us something new to watch as action movie fans , not just batman fans. I remember when fans was against the batpod idea . Now most of them love the batbod. My idea is just a feature of what the new batmobile can have. Like seat warmers , or cup holders.

[The Guard]

If he's going to be trying to avoid capture, the chopper makes the most sense. A ground vehicle can be chased easily, via the air. A sea vehicle can be chased easily, via the air. An air vehicle requires air support and an air pursuit, which allows for a new kind of chase entirely, and would allow Batman a lot more mobility in general.

[Danielson]

The thing is the whole air thing is just a bit extravagant. Also, Batman in the water would be much easier to allude cops. Do you really think that he's going to be able to outrun, land, and hide an entire friggin' chopper before someone catches up? Have there be a different entrance to the Batcave, from underwater. He dives into the river, sinks into the river submarine style, goes superfast (at this point you can't see him because who can see 30 feet underwater at night?) goes into the bank underground, drives up into the Batcave.

The flying thing just doesn't seem to fit, and it's not as creative.

[Christmas]

Well the Nolans and Goyer definitely aren't going to say...."how about a Bat Jet" just for its own sake. Any new gadget or vehicle is gonna come from the story they write. We'll see.

[ab38416]

but ultimately what i'm hoping to see in Batman 3 would be the rebuilt Wayne Manor, the Batcave, the Batmobile and the Batcomputer. they've all been featured in the previous 2 films, but what i want is that by the time Batman 3 ends these key elements would have more permanence in Batman's arsenal.

I agree.

I posted this in the manips thread, but it fits this thread too, here's my tumbler redesign.

That"s a very nice Tumbler.

Actually I want to see him dive as he does in an old comic book but like Tactic Divers do, with a very high tech rebreather.

[firstclassclown]

My answer.... THE BATWING!

here here!

[ReallyCoolGuy]

I remember when fans was against the batpod idea . Now most of them love the batbod.

I was never for or against the Batpod... it's pretty cool... I just think the whole "when damaged, the Tumbler converts into a motorcycle" idea was freakin retarded... reminds me of Clooney's Bat-iceskates...

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v738/jonsciortino/tumbler2.jpgFREAKING AWESOME!!!
Just remove that metal part that seperates the windscreen (it looks like it has eyes) and yeah, as Crook said, the bat fins are a bit much.
Anyway, amazing Batmobile 2.0 and great cave.

I hope that just like he thought outside the box for the vehicles, that Nolan will do the same for the cave. I hope its innovative, huge and stunning with many layers, an underground river/lake and many vehicles and suits standing by to be used.

Add me to the list of those who want to see the Batwing.

[Timstuff]

The production designer, as far as I know, has no say in the matter. He DESIGNS, he doesn't decide what he has to design.

There's no way they could build an actual working Bat Wing for the movie, so that's probably why he'd prefer a Bat Boat. He said himself, a Bat Boat is "achievable," so it sounds to me like his preference is solely from a design standpoint. He wants to be able to achieve a bat boat in real life, and there's nothing wrong with that. I just don't think it sufficient reason to believe we won't see a Bat Wing in Batman 3.

BTW, my ideal Bat Wing would look like a combination of these two aircraft

http://img35.imageshack.us/img35/1593/blog12.jpg (http://img35.imageshack.us/i/blog12.jpg/)

Basically, it'd look kind of like an F-117 but with forward swept wings. I think that it would have a great aesthetic to match the Tumbler, and would maintain a good bat-like visage. Also, I'd give it VTOL capabilities like a harrier.

BATWING!

In the viral marketing for TDK, they released a video "documentary" about bruce wayne and whether or not he should be aloud to run Wayne Enterprises... in the video they talked about Bruce buying out companies that developed silent/stealth jet engines and Hover technology....it wasn't in the movie so it may mean nothing...but still, it made me smile.

[The Democrat]

I always liked the notion presented in Lovers and Madmen that Bruce decides to create a sleeker more adaptable vehicle after initially using the tumbler. This idea that he'd rather go around traffic rather than through it makes a lot of sense and plays on the development of the character as refining his techniques. At first he's very clumsy, very brutish but as he maneuvers through his mission he refines his techniques to become more effective, discarding what does not work and relying more heavily on what does. In the current storyline I think it would become important for him to need to evade and act more subtly than he has until present. He can't be seen plowing through barricades and blowing up parked vehicles like he was in the last two as that would draw attention to himself obviously not to mention that it's reckless. So I see no reason he can't scale down the tumbler. More strategic armoring, more subtle utensils, fewer explosives.

Yeah, it is a bit ridiculous. But, I've thought about it a bit. (And have had plenty of time to since I first saw it) The tumbler is basically for desert warfare, I assume something like the Bat-pod would be handy in making quick escapes in a wide-open area.

[CJ]

It is called the 'Bat-Pod' suggesting it is meant as an escape pod if damaged. So it makes sesne. I don't see it as ridiculous.

(The only thing ridiculous about it is how the two wheels on the Bat-Pod are the front wheels. It would make more sense to just have the front left tire and back left tire join together. When Batman ejects, It looks weird the way the front tires join together.)

I personally loved the Bat-Pod, and while it would be strange to not have a proper Batmobile in the next film, I'd rather have the Bat-Pod throughout the entirety of the film, instead of a new Tumbler. Blech.

[BigSams50]

I just hope they bring back the tumbler, that thing was beast

[BatScot]

An air vehicle requires air support and an air pursuit, which allows for a new kind of chase entirely, and would allow Batman a lot more mobility in general.That an air vehicle is involved in both land and sea chases presupposes air support and air pursuit and if an air vehicle can chase a ground vehicle and an air vehicle can chase a sea vehicle then an air vehicle can chase an air vehicle.

[The Guard]

That an air vehicle is involved in both land and sea chases presupposes air support and air pursuit and if an air vehicle can chase a ground vehicle and an air vehicle can chase a sea vehicle then an air vehicle can chase an air vehicle.

We've seen that the GCPD has air support. I don't think this is a leap in logic at this point.

Using an air vehicle, in this case the copter, is not so much about the fact that he can't be chased at all. It's about the fact that he can't be chased as easily and in some ways, as effectively, and it's about more exciting and varied chases, period.

[Mr. Earle]

Would be asking for too much atmosphere if i asked for GPD zeppelins?
Perhaps as a new way of looking over Gotham? Just saying...

[Mr. Earle]

:funny: Errr...how?

Personally it reminded me of Transformers. The way the batmobile's arm (the one holding the front wheel) started transforming and all that...
But the whole thing was amazing...

[Ace of Knaves]

Yea I liked the Bat Pod. I liked when Bats slid out that alley and the front wheel rotated off it's axis. Looked bad ass.

Then with Joker like "There's the Batman!" it made it all the more awesome.

[ReallyCoolGuy]

:funny: Errr...how?

Yeah... that too. ...but I was referring to the "corniness"..

[Piuchén]

I think we"ll see the Lambo Murciélago reloaded.

[Lots o lafs]

The lambo is not even that good, I could see Bruce ordering 100's of(expensive) cars with individual parts, then take the parts out, and have something all new, a faster, smaller, more powerful batmobile than in the other films.

It's ok, I would rather have a more strategic vehicle.

I'd prefer the Batmobile over the batwing, although I'd like there to be a reference of the Batplane with Fox.

[Jake Diamond]

In Hush, there's a great image of a cave full of Bat-vehicles, featuring all of the ones in existing media. I can't find it, but if anyone could, they should post it here.

In any case, I'd like to see the return of an old classic:

[Thundercrack85]

I'd like to see the Batwing myself.

Wayne Enterprises has government contracts, so not hard to believe he could get a modified fighter.

Though the only real question is when or why he would use it.

^ Burton really came through for us on that one :)


..i personally don't see why both the Bmobile and the Bwing couldn't be introduced in the next film... The tumbler is gone, so it makes sense that bruce needs a new ride... plus the viral marketing for TDK hinted heavily at Bruce's interest in flying. The joker said that things would never be like they were, so if the bad guys have upped the anti, then so should Batman.

[Lots o lafs]

Well planes are extremely expensive, but a protype stealth aircraft could work, Its a small aircraft that has rotary blades as well as small wings and jet turbines, similar to the AI plane in the film stealth.

[anrrd_2]

^ :up: nice

[Crook]

Well planes are extremely expensive, but a protype stealth aircraft could work, Its a small aircraft that has rotary blades as well as small wings and jet turbines, similar to the AI plane in the film stealth.
Problem is a plane is pretty useless when he's in one city. A heli would be more logical, but that would just be stupid.

[anrrd_2]

^ in the Viral campaign for TDK their was a documentary on Bruce Wayne that talked about him wasting the companies money buying out business that patented "hover technology" for planes and "stealth jet engines" or something like that....

[Lots o lafs]

Well sometimes he does have to make journeys, after all he has no jurisdiction.
A plane could come in handy sometimes, I mean batman should always have a backup, and another, and another and so on.
He's batman, if he performed a halo jump, it would be pretty bad a**.

A halo jump would be cool...but considering he already boarded a plane that was ALREADY FLYING, some might consider a halo jump to be a back step in badassness :cwink:

He should obviously Halo jump from the plane. Then when he wants to leave, he just grapples on it and skyhooks away!

But honestly when he gets the plane, i dont see why he would use the car again.

[Rodrigo90]

Batman not using the Batmobile,is like Spider-Man not using his webs.:woot:

[Lots o lafs]

Jet fuel is expensive, so he would only need to use it in dire situations.

[Two-Face]

Batwing!

[Mr. Earle]

Jet fuel is expensive, so he would only need to use it in dire situations.This just in: Bruce Wayne is the richest man in the DC universe. :awesome:

[Milkman95]

I'm still a fan of seeing a Nolan Batboat - maybe the next Batmobile could have both land and water capabilities. With all the canals weaving within Gotham and Wayne Manor being on water, it just makes sense.

[petey]

I'd like to see a batcycle. Like a customized verison of what bruce used when he went looking for the sniper. The batpod was cool and all, but it served its purpose as a vehicle. Maybe put a batboat in there only if it's needed. No batmobile with aquatic capabilities. might as just well make it able to fly too. Plus with the batpod emerging from the wreckage in TDK giving the batmobile mutiple abilities may seem like flogging a dead horse, or running out of creative ways to introduce things into the nolanverse.

[Milkman95]

Makes sense not having the new batmobile with water capabilities, but a another cycle could be redundant as well.

Give me a new batmobile and a boat. For some reason, I don't think we'll see anything flying from the Nolan universe, but you never know I guess.

[Thundercrack85]

I really don't see wither the batwing or the "batcopter" working very well in Nolan's universe, unless Batman increases his scope. Gotham is big, but it's not that big that he needs a plane or helicopter.

[Lots o lafs]

Sometimes he leaves Gotham, it's like a farmer, he could pay someone to cut his lawn with a tractor, but it is more practical for him to just buy the tractor and cut out the middle man.
Anytime he has to go dog the bounty hunter on someone(hunt them down out of Gotham), he would use the batwing(a plane that has vertical lift capabilities, like a mix of the VTOL and the nighthawk).

[mothy]

i'd like to see a batboat.

i just do not buy batman using a batwing in nolan's universe. batman is all about stealth, and a batwing would compromise all that. you would hear him coming a mile off and then there's the issue of landing the thing. and taking off again.

however, i do see him using an autogyro or something like that. that would suit nolan's universe perfectly as it is stealthy and relatively small.

in fact, batman's first aircraft was an autogyro - used in detective comics #31 in september 1939. he used it three times and then it was replaced with a fixed wing vehicle.

The Batgyro would be awesome. People actually thought it was an actual giant Bat flying in Detectice Comics #31.

It would go well with the aspect of BB3 that Batman is on the run from the cops and they might stop him or attack him on the road if he's driving around on the Batmobile or Batpod.

[The Guard]

There's really no reason he couldn't have both a boat and a copter, or a boat and a plane, if the story called for it.

Boat, 'mobile, and plane I vote. Why can't we have all 3?

[Mr. Earle]

I'd like to see a huge Batcave the size of ****ing Texas. Full of catwalks, computers, an underground river and a huge garage with tons of different prototypes. Some finished, some unfinished.
I'd like to see a plane, a boat, a few versions of the batmobile, a few motorcycles, etc.
He doesnt have to use them all. He can just use what Nolan intended. But it doesnt hurt to have a big batcave full of toys.

And yeah, put the goddamn T-Rex in the goddamn cave.
