The Dark Knight Info on Playboy Bruce's Car in TDK.

[Miranda Fox]

I'm not a huge fan of product placement myself, but I loved the scene at the hotel and it seems well be getting similar in TDK:

Stephan Winkelmann: More Lamborghini dealerships in the U.S. and even some strategic alliances that most would not have thought of. There is also some placement . . . the [640] will be in the next Batman movie [working title, The Dark Knight, scheduled for 2008 release], although we are not paying anything. [We want to] boost sales by up to 10% in the U.S. this year, thanks to a little more ambition in the marketing department.

BW: Why the alliance with Batman?

SW: We do not pay for product placement. And we do not allow our cars to be placed just anywhere. It has to be perfect. Something like the next Batman film is suitable for our image. We will not be in films that we don't like.

There's more, but it's mostly about how the product placement works.

The Murcielago Roadster LP640:-

And at showrooms:-

This is the latest version of the car (as seen in BB). Not bad.

 

[itsthebatman]

Is it actually called Murcielago Roadster LP640? Cos we all know what that means.

 

[mad-sci]

Um... It's the new "Bat" mobile? t:

 

[itsthebatman]

Murcielago means bat. That is all.

 

[Kebab gud]

he had a Murcielago Roadster in Batman Begins (when he went out with the 2 bimbo's and bught a few hotels :P)

so the only news her is that he has upgraded to the LP640.. WOW!

PS: Murcielago is spanish for Bat

 

[Arkard]

Does it come in black?

How can I be the first one to say it?

 

[Two-Face]

If that's what Bruce Wayne will drive then I will be happy.

damn!

 

[Crooklyn]

I still think this car's base should've been used to make a modified Batmobile.

 

[Silver Souper]

gorgeous car.

Lamborghinis... They´re a passion of mine since when I was a kid. i was always more into them than Ferraris or Porsches (considering that I probably will never be able to afford either...t: )

 

[Milkman95]

Nice find Miranda - so Bruce is upgrading a little bit for TDK, very nice.

 

[MJZ]

Just creamed my pants, awesome news!!

The Murcie LP640 is my dream car.

Maybe they'll give him the black Versace edition with black wheels...

 

[Darknightnomis]

well if you ask me (and none of you cretins did)...






...I don't think we're seeing Bruce "other" new car.....I think we're seeing the style for our new Batmobile to replace the Tumbler.

Very sleek

 

[WompuM]

I like it. I would like to see both a modified version of this and the tumbler in DK

Wow. Please Nolan, modify this car into a Batmobile, not THE Batmobile but at least one of them.

 

[gambit420]

Yeah like someone else said this seems like it could work as a "2nd batmobile" it looks like the one off the animated series THE BATMAN...you guys watch that show?

Wouldn't it be nice to have the Joker actually take this or the Tumbler and wrecking it/blowing it up(no don't even say it's been done in BR)this could work out for a good confrontation....it probably goes with that "batcycle" rumor we've heard awhile back where he needs a set of wheels cuz Joker just trashed it.

Well I love the Tumbler as is, but there are actually *better* high-end sports cars than the Lambo for pseudo-Batmobiles if you want to go that route.

Maybach Exelero:

Bugatti Veyron, fastest production car ever built (250 MPH, 1,000 hp, V16)...
