As much as I dig the new bike, I'm suprised with all these BatPod jokes that no-one's vectored an image of Batman into a black silhouette, put him against a coloured background and added a white ipod and headphones.

Hey Mighty Wind, I had started not long before you posted this. It took me all night cause I did it in Paint, but here you go. It's also in the art thread.

Without insanely goofy special effects.

I liked what Ebert said about Begins the most - "the movie isn't realistic, but it pretends as though it is."

Yeah, I find it funny when some complain that the batmobile chase in BB is "slow"... I mean, do people actually believe the cars´ speed is real in Michael Bay and Rob Cohen movies?

Well I don't know if that's how fast they were going during actual filming, but yes, cars can go that fast if you want it to.

:huh:

Well, he says, "that's not the batcycle"

Indeed it's not, it's the batpod. :cwink:

You're post was right on, so I had to react :cwink:

Yeah. But why can't I blame him for not telling the truth?

Y'know what? Never mind. Doesn't matter.

They turn up the camera speed, it´s a common trick. A stunt driver talked about how, for a real car running at real speed on street with other cars around, The Tumbler was incredibly fast.

Oh yeah, I'm not disagreeing there. Just saying, cars have the ability to go as fast as you see them in the movies if you actually push them to their limits in the real-world.

Yeah, but if you do that the risk of an accident is huge, I guess.
 
I really love this new bike. I mean REALLY love this new look all the Bat vehicles all have.

It's very nice to see all the Bat vehicles having a military look and feel rather than that pansy-assed look of the earlier film vehicles that looked like they were designed by Dolce or Calvin Clein or whoever in the hell is supposed to be hot in fashion these days. I buy my clothes at Wal-Mart.

I much rather prefer the practical/military approach to Batman's equiptment. It just works better than the hyper stylized bat stuff in previous movies.

I'll agree that the Batmobiles from Batman Forever and Batman and Robin sucked big time but you didn't like the Batmobile Keaton drove? I felt that was by far the best so far. Sleek and simple.

It was the best for the direction the franchise went for at the time, and it´s a cool design. But the Tumbler has a far superior performance.

The Burton Batmobile was awesome in looks, especially with the "shields on". In terms of on screen performance, the Tumbler was just awesome on film in what it could do. It was also believable for the most part, well plausible.

My favourite Batmobile is the one from Batman TAS, the one I grew up watching :heart:

I don't see how the tumbler is better. What did the tumbler do that the keaton mobile couldn't? Really it just comes down to the writers adding features.

Well I didn't really say it was better, I just mentioned how I love how the Tumbler translated on film and motion. It was much more agile and manueverable then I expected as well as being just a tough looking.

It could actually turn for one. And it looked like an actual vehicle in terms of it's exterior material.

I still love the Burton car the most, but I have to admit looking back at it, it does look very plastic-y.

I can see plasticy thing a little but that may have been the best they could do at the time, it was 1989. I think that could easily be fixed with the same matte paint they used on the tumbler.
 
Back to the Batcycle - and apologies if someone has already posted this, but...

...the wheels are the same as the front two wheels of the tumbler, so it suggest to me that Batman may construct the bike from the wreckage of the Batmobile
 
It makes the most sense that the bike is built from the wreckage but how does Batman get his hands on the wreckage? Wouldn't the city or police department collect it?
