My Tumbler progress

[Parquagh]

Wow youngbat, AMAZING job you did there with the Tumbler... I hope we can soon get to see your work on the batpod

 

[zanos]

My god....that is amazing. I want to see more photos or better yet a video of it in action. Upload it now! I command you!

 

[MessyPandas]

Damn OP will you adopt me? I wanna be dropped off to college in that thing

 

[Dr.Omega]

Does it actually work i mean drive?

 

[KSD]

I was just thinking a video on youtube of you driving it would be amazing. Awesome job. Amazing work.

 

[emj2006]

Beautifully done.. that is assuming it was actually built and not bought!! lol

 

[youngbat]

once again thanks for all the attention, and great comments. One learns to appreciate, because it doesn't happen often.

Will try to get some new pics, and vid soon. And ya, I did build it all out of this 2 car garage you see.

 

[twt]

Does it come in desert camouflage?

 

[JDym]

i apologize in advance if this is a dumb question, but can you take that thing out on the road? legally?

 

[DaRkVeNgeanCe]

Youngbat do you drive it around?

 

[M.O.Steel]

i must say, i am impressed beyond belief. nice work man.

 

[spideyman101]

He might the real batman that no one knows about yet.

If so, then I'm interested in being Robin. And yes, I want my own car, chicks dig the car. (God please forgive me for using a Batman & Robin quote).

Awesomeness has a name. Man, do you plan on fighting crime with that tank?

 

[[Q]]

once again thanks for all the kind compliments.

brief answers to some questions:

you need an engine with enough torque to turn those 44" superswampers. Definately a V-8

thoughts on future Batsuits: I like the idea of segmented armour, because if there were to be a real batman, he would need ceramic armour protection, but be able to move, so realistically it makes sense. And from a film standpoint, what makes sense in the real world draws us into the film. i.e. a light grey pair of tights would make him a target, offer no protection. a bat emblem with a yellow background would make him a glowing target. Black makes sense. Even the change of voice makes sense, because Batman has to startle, intimidate. Seem almost monsterous.
Batpod makes sense, because it can manuver, wheras a full-size car cannot. But, a car can house a lot of arsenal that a bike cannot.

youngbat...

I really, really like what you have done here.
Have you considered using a diesel engine? They do produce a lot more torque than their gasoline counterparts

 

[Yurka]

Wow, just.....wow.
Amazing work.
I would love to see a vid of it in action.

 

[citizenpain]

that is indeed absolutely amazing youngbat. i see you've made it to gizmondo and a couple of other websites, well that sort of effort certainly deserves the attention, it's insane that you built it yourself pretty much from scratch. you should definitely get a video of that thing...

 

[Batman2005]

I just learned about this on the front page of digg.com!

amazing work!!
