The Dark Knight Rises New Batmobile

[KILLING JOKER]

Still my favorite.

To be honest, in my opinion the Batmobiles are the only thing that didnt suck about Batman Forever and Batman and Robin

Well, they matched the neon, over the top ridiculousness of everything else in the films. I'll give you that. I prefer the look of Burton's vehicles.

 

[Mr. Earle]

Car from Batman Forever is cool

Close the holes and make that central fin a bit smaller and Burton's has nothing on it. I love this car!

 

[The Englishman]

It doesnt even need the central fin, it would have looked alot better with it removed. I still love the Forever Batmobile though. The Batman & Robin one looks like a toy which it is...

 

[ALP]

Agreed Englishmen. The central fin was awful but the rest was good. When the fin split open and started to flap...I got queasy.

 

[TheBatman072]

Horrible. Just horrible.

Still my favorite.

Mine too.

Y'know, I read somewhere recently that the neon was put in there as a reflection of Las Vegas, or something along those lines. Looking at it in those terms, it makes a lot of sense. What city could be more sinful than Gotham?

Jesus.

Thank Cthulhu for Christopher Nolan.

 

[RustyCage]

So Batman's car is supposed to reflect sinfulness now? ... :|

 

[ModestMr.Green]

It's just as reasonable an idea as the Batmobile being a bridge-making tank.

No. No it's not.

 

[RustyCage]

Pff.

Yeah, Batman designed his car to look like the thing he's trying to fight, that makes all kinds of sense.

 

[steintym]

I still probably like the Burton design the best.

 

[The Guard]

I love the Burton mobile, complete with gold rims.

But you have to wonder how this:

No. Not really.

It looks like a twisted spider or something.

 

[Paste Pot Pete]

Yeah, I usually love me some Giger, but what the hell is that supposed to be?

It's an X? Or a pair of pliers?

If anyone in the film had referred to it as the batmobile, then I would agree. But that is simply not the case. No one behind the scenes in real life calls it the batmobile either. Nolan, Crowley, etc, they all say the tumbler. So that's what it is. But mostly, I'm not sure being owned by Batman is enough just to be renamed. The reason we call the suit the batsuit is because in BB, Batman placed his batsymbol on it and changed many thing about it. Otherwise we'd still be calling it the $300,000 normex survival suit. The only thing he may or may not have done to the tumbler was paint it black. Is that enough to warrant a bat title? I'm not sure, but according to anyone in or outside the film, the answer is no.

Of course your second point is much more questionable. But by any means, it was apparently dubbed the batpod by Alfred, while making, what many of you like to call, a cheesy joke.

Judging only by the movies that they were in, though, the Burton Bat-car wasn't called the Batmobile, either (at least not until the second film?). So I'd say that the 'tumbler' was as much a Batmobile to Nolan's Batman as Burton's was to his. Just different takes on it.

 

[The Guard]

I believe the Geiger-mobile was supposed to be resemble some kind of insect.

 

[RustyCage]

I believe the Geiger-mobile was supposed to be resemble some kind of insect.

But.. why?

 

[Marx]

Yeah...it makes no sense.

 

[KalMart]

Maybe it could actually walk...like a spider...over boulder- or debris-laden terrain.
