So Batman will be driving the camo tumbler? He should paint it black. Will be really strange seeing Batman ride in the brown one. But I guess it would make sense.

It's the second tumbler. There is video floating around of the camouflaged tumbler in Pittsburgh, which means it is definitely the second tumbler. I'm sure there will be a humorous exchange between Wayne and Fox about the car. "Take it easy on her this time." Some bs like that.

TBH, I'm inclined to believe it's not the second Tumbler... but a flashback to the military tests of the Tumblers. What with the photos of military vehicles and what not. I saw a military convoy coming East down 76 yesterday at about 1PM from Pittsburgh and now there's video of guys spotting the camo Tumbler under a tarp on a trailer bed.

I don't doubt Batman will be using the Tumbler, what with the shots of the black Tumbler on a trailer bed as well, but I have a feeling there's going to be some flashbacks to those tests. However that fits into the grand scheme of things... Unless the mayor of Gotham has Gotham State governor call in the National Guard to apprehend Batman or Bane or whatever.

Camo Tumbler + military rigs in photos and all that... seems suspiciously flashbacky to me.

I don't really see how a military flashback to the Tumbler would make sense with the story, but anything could happen. It would see out of place though.

One possibility, outside of the Tumblers solely being for Batman, is seeing the military use a Tumbler of thier own, against Batman. I doubt it will happen, but it would be a fun scene for sure.

DaveMoral · Jul 22, 2011

^That'd be interesting except the whole project never got off the ground so the military never actually bought the things from Wayne Tech/Enterprises/whatever.

ALP · Jul 22, 2011

Why in the world would there be a flashback of the military testing the tumbler!?!?!

Can't believe that for a second.

Brian Braddock · Jul 22, 2011

In my view the most plausable scenario is that the camo Tumbler is the 2nd Tumbler and that Fox and/or Bruce obtain it from wherever it has been stored since the project was shelved as they figure they need to replace the last one. I remember a discussion on here a while back asking why both prototypes were not stored together at Wayne Enterprises [Dead End] and someone suggested that the military may well have ended up in possession of the other one, given that it was designed in a joint Wayne Enterprises/Military project. Who's to say?

Following on from that, I'd say that the black Tumbler in the pics is going to be the very same camo Tumbler after its been given the same black spray-job that the 1st one had.

and viola - instant replacement Tumbler Batmobile.

Call me crazy, but I don't think we'll get a Batmobile in TDKR, just the Bat-Pod.

imposserus · Jul 22, 2011

i'm just gonna say this, and then duck the stones

i hate the tumbler

i appreaciate the functionality of it... but it's never going to be my batmobile
really, the red sedan would have suited me just fine

and before anyone asks
yes i like the 89 one best of all,

i wish this tumbler atleast had something incommon with it aesthetically

Dude, there's pictures of the Tumbler around Pittsburgh.

Oh. My mistake. I haven't been paying attention to the set pics.

There is no reason to believe he will be driving a camo Tumbler. All we've seen so far is a still pic of a camo Tumbler, with absolutely no context suggesting he will be driving it like that.

That's what I believe. It makes the most sense to me.

We've also seen a still of a black Tumbler.

I feel the same way with Bane's new mask.
Deal with it.

I would love to ask you why, but it belongs in the Bane thread.

perhaps bane has links to the military?

You know, we should have a thread for the new vehicle. I´d love to see fan designs for a bat-copter.

Just be prepared for it to be filled with plenty of Blue Thunder pics.

^^^ Oh yes! This would be badass for Batman's aerial ride.

Brian Braddock · Jul 24, 2011

Makes alot of sense - state of the art and also keeps with the Tumbler aesthetic to a degree (with a few added modifications maybe).

Interestigly enough, it was used in the 2003 Hulk movie.

subaruwrxfan · Jul 24, 2011

Ok guys I just got an inside scoop on the batcopter, I can't say much about it, but I saw it!!! It very much exists and it is probably one of the sickest, meanest looking things I've ever seen. Can't wait to see it in the air!
