There you go!

I'm so down for that design. :applaud
 
The only thing I wasn't thrilled about in both movies was the orgins of the Tumbler.

Somewhere in Wayne Enterprises, numerous people would have been involved in making and testing the Tumbler. Don't tell me that they wouldn't have just turned on the news, saw Batman in it, and not opened their mouth about the vehicle's orgins.

Anyway ...

It seems to me that Nolan has had Bale drive a lambo in his off time in both movies, therefore I wouldn't be shocked if TDKR features a Lambo inspired Batmobile.
 
Really? I thought it was rather Tumbler meets BTASmobile.

Agreed. The cockpit looks daft and non-existent but the rest is balls to the walls awesome. If the cockpit slid forward or was like the tumbler one then that thing would be perfect :up:

Didn't Reese mention that in TDK? He knew schematics from Wayne Enterprise were being used by Batman. As for other people, it's very well possible that the tumbler was built in Asia like many cars- and it would make sense b/c the tumblers were used "as bridging vehicles during combat," and if that combat meant in the middle east then it would make sense that the tumblers were designed and built in the Wayne Industries Asia subsidiary, then flown to the middle east for combat, and finally taken to Gotham/America for storage since the bridge did not work.

This is why it would make perfect sense for him to "disguise" it.
 
I just think it's gimmicky like the plane. It doesn't seem like it would fit for Nolan.. I could be proven wrong. If they redesigned it that is. Batman doesn't really need a boat though.

I know where you're coming from. That was my initial response as well, "It'd be gimmicky and probably cheesy." But when you think about it, it does make sense if Batman were using a bat-boat to drive through the canals and the river to stealthily not be noticed by cops. But mostly, the reason many of us are saying a bat-boat is because Nathan Crowley himself has said he would love to design a bat-boat. And he is the man who designed the tumbler and the bat-pod so he obviously knows what fits and what tone Nolan wants. If he says he could design a great bat-boat for the next film that is more than enough proof it would fit.

It would certainly be re-designed to fit in, so it probably would not have any, say, bat fins or any bat motifs to it as the pod and tumbler don't. However if it is just a normal black boat that will be pretty darn boring imo. It at least must have a few cool gadgets and such. I'd like to see one that even goes under water but I know that is probably too much in the realm of gimmicky. Conversely, Crowley also said he would not be interested in designing a bat-plane. And that is disappointing to me because I love the batwing but alas.

Batman driving around the Chicago rivers with a Batboat would be epic.
 
i think a Batboat would definately work. not too sure about the Batplane/Batwing though
 
Why are people saying that? What's wrong with the bat-wing? Too gimmicky?

Even if it did look great, how important would it serve for the story? He wouldn't be traveling through the rivers all that much. I don't think it would serve that much purpose at all. I'm not familiar with Chicago, but I just don't see the purpose for it.

Two things:

1) None of us know the story, so a bat-boat can easily be placed into the narrative if that's what it calls for.

2)This is Gotham, not Chicago :cwink:
 
Is that like a cross between the batmobile and the batpod lol
 
I don't get how a boat is absurd while a freaking tank is "realistic."

Nolan will use whatever he thinks is cool. He could make a rocketpack work in this universe if he wanted to. He has this little thing called "imagination."

I don't get it either. The tumbler is fine but no way can Batman drive a boat or a small aircraft. As if those things don't exist in real life...?
