The Dark Knight Did anyone see this on yet? Interesting....

[Batman]

It is stupid statements like that that show you're not a real fan, this is Batman, he is suppose to have a Batmobile, and the fins are cool, they looked great on the 89 Batmobile, this is horrible news.

This is Batman, a comic book, and it's part of the fun to see all his gadgets and vehicles with his bat logo and look etc.

Nolan is dull, he has no imagination and no style. Batman has style, Nolan's version does not, it is not really capturing Batman, he's just using the name and making some dull movie without the soul of Batman in mind.

You want outlandish style, you want gadgets galore, you want comic book level imagination, and you want everything covered in bat-logos? Well, here you go:

Forgive Nolan for focusing on the better, more interesting and far more important cerebral part of the character.

 

[The Shape]

^ Amen.

 

[ChrisBaleBatman]

Yeah....really.....Batman being so stylish.....it's never made any actual sense.

Yeah, yeah....I know...it's a ****ing comic book....isn't supposed to make sense....but when you make a movie, it needs to or else you'll lose the adult audience.

Infact, the comics have managed to lay most of the blame of naming the bat **** on poor poor Robin. Supposedly, Robin named everything "Bat-this" and "Bat-that" so to explain why a repressed, depressed, and serious individual like Batman would even have names for some of those things.

Have you ever read The Long Halloween? Y'know how it's written and drawn to be very noir, and mysterious in it's story and atmosphere? Or Broken City, which is a very gritty, urban drama? Or Hush, which is a very stylistic, colorful adventure story?

They're all quite different, aren't they? Do you know why that is? Because everyone who shapes a story or comic or movie about the character, has their own little take on it. Their little interpretation. That's the nature of interpretation itself.

Nolan is doing nothing more than what any person who's written or draw Batman before has done. He's taken his own adaptation of the character, and has put it on the screen. For you to blame him for that, for you to blame him for not being a clone of Tim Burton, or your particular, limited, view of the character is simply...pointless, and really against the whole nature of what the creative process is about.

idiots like you also liked the batman credit card.

 

[lordofthenerds]

Are you joking? It is the Batmobile.

You know what I meant. I wanted them to make it look a bit more like the Batmobile from the comic. Nothing huge, just a couple of tweaks.

 

[batlovescatDC]

I am glad that they are keeping The Tumbler... I just hope he added more gadgets too it. But the style of it is cool. The only trouble was that in a lot of the chase scene... I couldn't see the car b/c it was so dark. I know that was the point 'cause he was trying to hide from the cop cars but I would actually like to SEE the car in action. My only complaint... otherwise... live on The Tumbler... just call it the Batmobile this time, not the Tumbler please.

 

[Retroman]

I'm cool with the Tumbler as is. I think the suit will be tweaked a bit though and i'm almost certain Batman will have another vehicle to continue his war on crime in TDK.

If things are escalating in Gotham the tumbler will not be enough.

 

[Cobblepot]

I like the Tumbler a lot, but in reality it doesn't really make sense.
The whole town is on the lookout for that car.

He should be driving around I an all black sedan...

 

[DV8]

I still hope we see some advancements in the bat-suit . . . we need more neck mobility!!

 

[Ronny Shade]

I saw the tumbler. I was 2 feet away from it

 

[Superwoman Prime]

I was searching around on Google and found something kind of weird, but also neat:

 

[Ronny Shade]

I like in the Worlds FInest trailer, how they just use a black corvette

But isn't that his schtick. He completely adopts the mantle of The Bat and fashions all his equipment and weapons as an extension of that cover.

Why then wouldn't he customize the tumbler in the same manner he alters all his equipment; it seems out of character to assume he wouldn't.

At the practical level it would make the tumbler less recognizable as the Wayne Enterprizes prototype it is, and hence reduces it's origin and tracability to the source. Just as he wears the disguise the tumbler would also need a disguise.

Sir... I have never loved you more.

This thread on the other hand, could get bent.

 

[Thespiralgoeson]

The Tumbler kicks the sh1t out of every other Batmobile in comics, on film, or on TV. I'm damn glad they're keeping it.

Amen! Can I get an Amen?

Can I get a hell yeah?

Can I get an Hallelujah?

The All Star Batmobile is a close second

 

[Batman]

Amen, hell yeah, hallelujah.

 

[Keyser Sushi]

Amen, hell yeah, hallelujah.

Bless you, son. Thank you. Now what I want you to do... I want you to go forth from this place, and take this message, and DELIVER it to the people! I said DELIVER it to the people! Shout it from the mountaintops! I want you to FEEL the fire in your belly!

SHOUT IT FROM THE MOUNTAINS!!!

SHOUT IT FROM THE MOUNTAINS!!!

THE TUMBLER OWNS ALL YOUR ASSES!!!

AMEN! HELL YEAH! HALLELUJAH!!!

 

[Ronny Shade]

What are you preachin' there, brother sushi? I think you've gotten it all WROOOOng! I think--nay, not what I thinks that matters, but what the people think! What does the LORD think, brother Sushi? What does he think of your TUMbler, brother sushi? He think's it's one step away from that hellish damned Dark KNIGHT RETURNS-Mobile! That car did not do God's work. That car spread deestruction and terror! That car had guns! I ask you, brother sushi! I BESEECH YOU BROTHER SUSHI! I call all your followers from the path unto evil and CORRUPTION! I call them back to the light. THE LIGHT!
You can't sing Hallelujah from the darkness of a tank! you can't hear the sweet song of Angels from a DEATH MACHINE! You can only do these so life-important and salVATION-important things from the SAFETY and COMFROT of the DROP TOP SPORTS CAR! Can I hear it! Can I hear and AMEN! An AMEN for the classic batmobile. For the Lord has fins! He saw fit to adorn the fishes with them, WHY WOULD HE NOT THEN ADORN THE BATMOBILE!

 

[Keyser Sushi]

Brother Ronald! I ask you to HEAR me, brother! I ask you to open your heart and your mind to my message, brother! Does not the righteous man put aside the trappings of vanity in order to serve the calling of his Lord? In order to serve the MISSION? Indeed, he does. For is it not written, sir, that there is a time for war, and a time for peace?

Then I say save the drop-top sports car for a time of peace, Brother Ronald, and the tank for a time of war. And does not Batman make war on evil? Is that not his mission? In a war against all that is unholy, is not the sound of rending metal and the detonation of artillery the very song of the angels? Is not the spirit of George S. Patton alive in each of us? Is not the tank the very hand of God?

Then do not speak a disparaging word against the tank, my brother, for only in a tank, is a man's work, nay, a Bat-man's work, truly done.

AMEN!

HELL YEAH!

PAPA SPANK!

 

[Ronny Shade]

lofl

I can't continue to argue a viewpoint to which I don't even agree

BROTHER SUSHI! AMEN! Papa does inDEED spank as long as he spanketh in the NAME OF THE LORD and fritos

 

[Mr. Thing]

I love you guys.
