The Batmobile Thread

at the very least, I want to see some new functionality.

It won't blow up this time.


Happy?

 

[Ness]

aww, he just rebuilt the tumber :/

they skipped a great chance to showcase a new vehicle

Do we really need one though? I mean this isn't Batman & Robin where they are trying to sell toys.

 

[X Knight]

interesting that the Tumbler is back. Didn't Fox mention that there were supposed to be 2 Tumblers to be used in the military to create the bridge?

Perhaps this is the back-up Tumbler. Or else Bruce had it rebuilt.

I was kind of hoping for a sleeker, redesigned Batmobile...........but maybe there's still a chance.

either way........the Tumbler is still bad ass!

you don't really need a new batman movie, so I don't understand your point.

Doesn't matter. They still need to sell toys.

You don't understand that Nolan wants to make a movie to tell a great story instead of making a movie to sell toys like Batman and Robin did?

cool the tumbler is back!

 

[Visceral]

Well we can still hope for a bat plane

I don't understand your false dichotomy.

 

[Ness]

I don't understand your false dichotomy.

I'm sorry you don't understand something so simple. If you want to believe what I have to say is false, proceed.

They're always trying to sell toys. It is a merchandising monster for Time Warner.

Right, but that isn't the main agenda for this upcoming film like it was for Batman and Robin. Just like it wasn't the main agenda for Batman Begins or The Dark Knight. Just because something has "Batman" slapped on it, doesn't mean it will be a good film. Warner Bros. learned their lesson after that bomb.

Notice the Batpod behind it.

It might not be Nolan's main agenda, but I guarantee you that is the main agenda for the corporate big wigs.

Like I implied, I doubt Warner Bros. takes that angle again, unless they want another laughing stock bomb on their hands. Batman Begins proved that if you actually have a good movie, the toys will sell themselves.

It's like having a good football team. The team winning games will sell seats just as well than the newly drafted rookie quarterback that might be terrible in the long run anyways. Warner Bros. was looking for the "get rich quick" scheme and it backfired with Batman and Robin came out. That movie made back it's revenue, but when you compare it something like Begins which barely had a bigger budget and has made a lot more money while being out a lot less longer, it makes sense.

Ace, if the story is to be a circle back towards BB then them introducing anything hut the tumbler at least would be odd. Who says there won't be more stuff but I'm happy!

 

[EliteF50]

So the Tumbler is back? No new Batmobile? :\

Wow! We'll get the Tumbler, tha Batpod and there's supposed to be a helicopter right!? The movie will be legendary...

 

[KalMart]

Yes on the first...not sure on the second.

Maybe after Batman gets his back broken......

Spoiler

 

[thewhyteman]

I gotta say I am more than fine if the batmobile doesnt change. I mean think about it. Why would Batman need to scrap an awesome vehicle and start from scratch. He has the cash and resources. I say good call Nolan. Good call.

 

[BrollySupersj]

Another tumbler? Guess I'm not too surprised....I'm just curious as to where this one came from.

 

[thewhyteman]

Didn't Fox say that they built 2?

 

[Hurm...]

Sweet! The batpod's back, too.

 

[BrollySupersj]

Didn't Fox say that they built 2?

No, he said "during combat, two of these would jump towing cables".

I don't recall him saying that Wayne Enterprises actually had TWO of them.
