The Dark Knight Are we getting a [see thread] in Batman 3?

[Sweetchuck]

Yes I for one hope they do take this chance to redesign the Batmobile. And make it much more like a lambourgini with armour...

 

[LostGuy]

That would be sweet. Alghough I like the tumbler the way it is (or was...)

No Bat-jet or bat-plane or bat-copter or anything that flies. See, there is a reason why lots of people look with some distrust to comic books and comic book movies, and bat-wings or Krypto, the superdog, are good examples.

 

[Paste Pot Pete]

In one of the Gotham Tonight episodes, there was something about Wayne Enterprises technology and one of them had to do with turbines or jet engines or something. I'll have to watch them again, I forget the details.

 

[Superman4ever]

where did you get that script excerpt? or did you type it

I have the script...I just typed it.

 

[Superman4ever]

My feeling is that the sequence with the Lamborghini was foreshadowing of a more traditional, sleeker, lighter Batmobile in the future.

Agreed. That makes sense. But I LOOOOOOVE the Tumbler the way it was.

Why is an airborn vehicle so hard to swallow? Planes have been around for what, almost a hundred years? Many people have private jets.

Just like he drives around in an experimental military terrain vehicle, I see no reason why he couldn't fly around in a super-secret jet. It doesn't have to look like a giant Bat. It could be like the Blackbird.

I don't think I'd compare an airplane to a dog with superpowers.

Agreed, but I do understand the criticism/skepticism. The fact that they (Nolan and Co.) most likely can't make a bat-jet that could actually fly would seem not to fit with Nolan's realism approach, which is something I failed to realize prior to starting this thread.

While I think the idea would be cooler than a chopper or a boat, I do remember, like some others, something about a boat in an interview.

 

[StillTheKing]

A bat-jet is ridiculous but a bike that turns around on walls and drives sideways is sensible?

How do you figure?

I never even said those things were sensible . Sure they were cool but very unrealistic and a little ridiculous. It was a small part of the movie anyway.

 

[Gotham22]

what the batpod was doing was very unrealistic and the way you diver it too.

[marty mcfly]

a bat-jet would be impractical because of how much time and work it would take to get in and go...

you can't just turn on a jet and take off... you turn everything on, let the engines run, (probably have to make sure there are no other planes in your air space.. you know so you don't crash into them......), then you go, then you have to find a place to land it...

or you could just hop on the bat pod and drive off in less than a second...

i was watching B89 the other day, and as cool as his bat-jet was, there was no WAY that thing could realistically fit between buildings. which would mean in the nolanverse he would have to land it on a roof and THEN go find the baddie... too much work.

and a bat-boat would be another pretty pointless vehicle. unless all of the crime in gotham is located on the coastline... because sewers aren't really made for boat travel.

all-in-all the tumbler and the bat-pod were perfect vehicles for batman. they can get him anywhere he needs to go, and quickly

 

[TheDarkVictory]

The third film should end with Gordon and Batman on top of the police headquaters like in Begins.

The Riddler is behind bars but the Catwoman is still on the loose.

Batman points out that they have a new Bat signal and Gordon says hopefully they won't have to break this one.

Batman stands triumphantly at the edge of the building ready to jump off and go bring in some bad guys with Gordon looking at him proudly when....

...an officer bursts through the door...

"Sir, Sir, The Joker has escaped from Arkham!"

Gordon looks at the Batman with a look of dispair, Batman looks back round at him and nods. Batman jumps off the building.

*Joker laugh*

Nolan's Batman trilogy ends.

thats neat and all but what does that have to do with this thread?

 

[MiniBond]

I read somewhere that Nathan Crowley expressed interests in building a batboat of sort ....!

 

[TheDarkVictory]

the thing about the batboat is it would have no purpose in gotham, as far as i can see....so the story would have to lead him outside of gotham again, and that would seem redundant.

 

[Asteroid-Man]

He was talking about the sonar, which is why Lucious asked Bruce about all the money being put away and he replied "If you don't mind, I'm keeping this one a little closer to the chest."

Are you saying that Batman's cape can really be used like a glider as it is in the movie?

This. And as I already stated, you would need a entire team to build a jet. I'm fairly sure someone working on a brand new plane that no one should know about would be pretty suspicious if they saw on the late night news Batman was flying it around.

 

[Batman137]

wow completely wrong thread

 

[Dr. Crane]

no jet.... no boat... i'm looking forward to a new bat-mobile... love the tumbler, but it's time... and after it's done... can't wait to see the new car parked in the batcave.... with the bat-pod right next to it.

i really hope so. time to get back to basics


also, have they announced they ARE making a batman 3???

 

[JokerLedger]

Why build a batplane when he has South Korean smugglers who fly under the radar?

 

[Quinzel]

I know Nolan said he wouln't do a bat jet, but did they say something about that?

I seem to remember some hint about a bat-plane-jet thing.

 

[obiwan]

where did nolan say he'd "never" do a batplane/jet?

 

[MegaGeek]

I got my thread about possible sequal scenarios locked but this gets a pass? Who cares if he gets a bat-jet? what does that have to do with anything? they did a bike in the sequal.. chances are pretty damn high he'll have a bat-jet, bat-boat or bat something in the 3rd one.

 

[rashad]

Some of ya'll need to watch that Batman Tech documentary that was on the History Channel.
