BvS The Batmobile Thread

[BatFan1979]

I'm not a fan of that Bugatti front. What were they thinking?

Yeah, I do agree they went a little far with the drawn out grill. If it was pushed back in about 2 feet, I think it would look a lot better.

Not sure if posted. But Jett is back with some news

Our good 'ol friend "Doctor Detroit" is back with some BvS scuttlebutt/rumor/news. Don't worry, there are NO SPOILERS below, trust me. Here goes...

"One minor update and one potentially major update. I've been told that Michigan shooting will start at Michigan Motion Picture Studios in Pontiac. I'm hearing mid-March as the start date. Michigan location shooting won't start until late spring (May or possibly June) at the earliest.
Now, I specified ‘Michigan’ shooting above, because we know a scene has already been shot in Los Angeles. However, with Chris Terrio now [re-writing the film], that footage is likely scrapped. There was speculation that everything up to the point of Terrio taking over had been scrapped as well (including Batsuit and Batmobile) but that does not appear to be the case. BECAUSE…

My sources tell me a shoot is currently taking place in the Los Angeles area. What's being shot? Well, I've been told it involves the highly anticipated, new BATMOBILE! Whether this footage will end up being used in the film or is for the purposes of testing/promotion is not entirely clear. But it does reveal that pre-Terrio/Affleck designs have been retained.

This information coincides with what I'd heard previously about the new Batmobile being tested in late January/early February."

So, Jett has a rumor.

Which may or may not be confirmed, etc, etc.

One thing the Batmobile should absolutely have is a hybrid engine.

Now hear me out. The fastest road cars in the world The LaFerrari, the P1 and the 918 Spyder all use Hybrid technology to aid their petrol engines.

The added benefit is that these cars can completely power down their internal combustion engines and run entirely off electric power. Which makes them completely quiet.

Imagine a Batmobile that could sound like roaring thunder one second and then like a dulled whisper the next.

The Burton Batmobile was great but a jet engine? Not exactly stealthy, the same with the tumbler's big block chevy.

By "could easily be modified to be more "Batmanish" do you mean "could easily be modified to be an exact replica of the '89 Batmobile"

Lol- I guess, if thats the route you want to go. I did love that version.

I could see them going with that and promoting hybrid technology.

The Bugatti Veyron Super Sport is the fastest road car in production. So I think Bruce should have one of those as well.

I'd rather not, that car just looks a bit too similar. The only design that I've seen here that I would be behind is 100% is the one with the front wheels on legs, that looks like it could jump.

"According to my source, the filming that is going on in LA that GM is involved with is actually for 'Tomorrowland', NOT 'Batman vs. Superman'.

Furthermore, my source said the Batmobile design I originally told you about a few months ago has, in fact, been scrapped altogether because WB was dissatisfied with it (I'm assuming as a result of the Affleck/Terrio takeover), and that GM is no longer involved in its design. No word on whether or not GM will be involved in the build process.

Disinformation? Maybe. But jives with what I was told around the time Terrio took over. Time will tell what is fact and what is fiction."

 

[Fallen Angel]

WTF! What has Terrio re doing the script got to do with scrapping the Batmobile design?.

Definitely! It looks the most versatile, original, and bada**! I hope they go with an original design like they did for the tumbler, but go the route of one you mentioned.

Maybe the design plays a key role in the story they want to tell, who knows. I;m actually glad that is won't be based on a Cadillac as the initial reports were saying.

and Jett has more rumors great.

 

[Poni_Boy]

Jett is like a homeless guy in Times Square yelling Jesus prophecies from on top of a milk crate. Please, stop giving them your spare change and attention.

Jett used to be so legit... sigh

The design plays a key role in the story? That's a good one man.

 

[Travesty]

That was back in 2003.

 

[TheNextNolan22]

Jett used to be so legit... sigh

There was a point in time where he WAS? Guess I need to jump in the TARDIS to see that.

 

[BatFan1979]

I guess i didnt word that well. Im sure the Batmobile wont play a key role in the film, but maybe the prior design wasnt working well into the new story for some reason.

Just playin with ya man I get ya.

Just as long as we don't see a tumblr version again I'll be happy. While I love that I'm wanting to see a more classic version of the Batmobile.

[AnneFan]

That looks fast.

 

[CountOrlok]

I like it. A combination of the tumbler and '89.

 

[Fallen Angel]

Oh sweet jesus that looks cool.
