THE BATMOBILE THREAD

[Vaibow]

That could be a legit possibility, but I'm not even sure I see seams for side doors. The back bars look like part of a roll cage to me and roll cages typically block side doors, which are then welded shut for safety. Given the gritty style Reeves is going for, I really am starting to think Bats is going to hop in and out through the window. You see it with stock car racing and also stunt vehicles:

nice homage, again as some may say, to 66 batman

I like that it looks it could be a car that Bruce could’ve had in his collection and just took it down to the bat cave to chop up and modify with Alfred.
It makes sense for a Batman that’s still early in his career and likely doesn’t have a Lucius Fox.

This is what I have been saying for months now, I have posted multiple mad max car pix and uk Stock car racing pix... it's exactly how I imagined, his fathers old collection or even his, suped up, vin numbers rubbed off, untraceable sexy muscle cars....

I hope chicks dig this car, otherwise Batman will have to get himself a Robin.

I'm glad Batman doesn't drive Donald Duck.

What’s the point you’re trying to make?

the interceptor is badass

 

[OutOfBoose]

The point is this Batman is a bum. Can't afford himself nice toys. He borrowed his rides from Catwoman.

 

[Zorro]

Hand made low tech in his 2nd year as a vigilante doesn't make him a bum. There may be reasons for it and he uses his wealth later on.

 

[Invader Joker]

Maybe this Bruce Wayne works on such a budget not only to throw the police off, but because that way he's managing his resources better as a philantropist.

As in, instead of using 30 million dollars on a super advanced batmobile and gadgets, he gives that 30 million away to charity. So he's very careful about how he manages his budget.

It'd be a nice way of making those Twitter SJWs stop with their "billionaire beats poor people" nonsense.

 

[OutOfBoose]

It makes sense for me if her keeps it simple to throw police (and mob/supervillains) off, make it harder to track. It will be a satisfying explanation.

 

[Zorro]

If there's an explanation, that would do just fine

I mean this thing probably can't even jump on rooftops

This is probably the one time where I was super hyped for the person casted, then my hype slowly died the more things get revealed. This batsuit honestly looks like it can be made out of trashcan plastic cutouts by a cosplayer. I expected more from a billionaire really. Unless they're really going the Aronovsky route and Bruce loses his fortune. Then all the revealed stuff would make a lot more sense.

lol aren't you the worst

It lacks Batman visual aesthetic. So no. Not perfect enough.

[Zorro]

This Is The Only Batmobile That Makes Any Sense

That's like a gritty modernized version of the classic TMNT van. Would have worked for the last two films than the armored dumb truck

This Is The Only Batmobile That Makes Any Sense

If we really are putting on our realism glasses, the only type of vehicles that would make any sort of sense for a real life Batman to use would all be modified military vehicles.

Yall are either deliberately or foolishly not considering proportion and context. By bruce wayne standards this thing is very cheap. These days 1000 hp hotrods can built for $100,000 or less with prefabricated kits and a factory car.

I'd be surprised if Bruce put more than $500,000 into this thing.

We don't know what kind of tricks he's built into it. We don't know what it's made of within the fiction of the movie. If it's bullet-proof, etc. I don't think it's unreasonable to assume it's an expensive machine. I'd also say that it being kind of low key until you give it a second look is also a benefit within the story.

 

[Zorro]

The 60's batmobile didn't look like much but it had gadgets. This looks like a modernized version and so it may have it's own gadgets as well.

Outside mostly looks like a normal vehicle but we don't know if there's there's buttons for hidden goods and maybe the vehicle is actually armored and bulletproof but it's concealed because of black

It probably can. Like this:

I grew up with Burton Batmobile. It was original, classy, powerful. To this day, it still hold up... for this kind of universe. I kind of liked Batman forever one. It was fun. I liked the tumbler. It seemed practical, was impressive. It was almost scary. I was not too much into Snyder Batmobile. It was nice to look at from certain angles, but it seemed overdesigned to me. And in action, it was not that impressive. I like what is see of Reeves Batmobile. It is simple. Slick, mysterious, practical, certainly fast. For what it seem Reeves is going, it looks like it's the way to go.

 

[elgaz]

The Reeves Batmobile is wholly not what I expected at all ................................but it's got me very intrigued.

We've had a few films now where Batman has been driving an extremely hi-tech and militaristic Batmobile which looks like it's taken multiple millions in $$$ to develop, and I must admit that I'm curious about this pared back approach where it actually looks like a vehicle he's developed himself in a hidden garage somewhere, with limited resources.

If that more 'hands on' approach - not only to his tech, but to his detective work and so on - is the general direction the film is taking, I'm in.

 

[Spider-Fan83]

The exposed motor in the back looks cool , but doesn't seem very tactical... one well placed shot could probably blow that whole thing up

By the way, there's a difference between throwing money into gadgets, vehicles and weapons, and having a fixation with their looks.

And the difference with the Tumbler, which I love by the way, isn't that it was much more expensive, but that it was a military vehicle built by the Wayne Enterprises team, and not by Bruce Wayne himself. So there's a difference.

And it's the same with real life counterparts: Elon Musk ain't building a spaceship in his garage himself.

People are so hung up on the price, when the true difference actually is: built by Bruce Wayne himself vs. built by a team of engineers.
