Regarding the engine being exposed, it’s no more than afflecks car having massive tyres that could be shot at that would spiral the car. I believe there will be a function that will cover it at any point he needs. Again it could be a learning curve for him, he may go for visual flair and then messes up and revamps the car like his suit.

Is anyone else seeing a crude Bat design on the hood of the car

Not at all. Which part are you referring to?

[craigaat]

I don't see it, personally. It doesn't really fit the tone of the film from what we've seen so far.

No... but that sure looks like a hidden battering ram. See how it extends down under the front of the hood? Almost like it can slide out, forward.

It's not there, but what you said is also wrong. The Batbike has a pretty blatant Bat front.

It's not wrong. The actual bat symbol on his chest barely resembles a bat, and the bike is just a standard bike with the windshield removed.

 

[Rorschach2012]

It’s definitely an homage to something like this but it’ll also have a technical purpose as well. Feel free to quote this when the movie is released.

Are those fat curvy fenders also "stock" then? No, they're also very bat inspired.

 

[Blade Hoarder]

Oh noes, the bat-cycle looks like the bat cycle from the comics. The horror.

What makes you believe this? There’s such things as bullet proof tires. Exposed engines is entirely different

 

[Zorro]

It's different in the real world. This engine could easily be buffet proof or have a shield or something. Many possibilities

No, it is wrong. As ArmsHeldOut confirmed , the bike is a modded BMW military/police model with a bigger engine, other performance related enhancements, and a custom Bat-shaped cowl/front fairing. It is perfectly suitable as a Batcycle and there is a lot of logic and thinking behind the design. It may not be the take you want, but it is not lazy as you are implying.

 

[Gamma Goliath]

These arguments are always weird to me, I feel like next to nobody is going in thinking about the exposed engine could be the batmobile's downfall lol.

 

[Invader Joker]

It's literally just as simple as showing a scene where a thug shoots a bullet on the thing but it does absolutely nothing to the engine because it's somehow bulletproof.

I'm not implying it's lazy. I'm implying that they're deliberately trying to outdo Nolan in the 'grounded' category.

If you Think Reeves and Co set out to just make "Nolan 2.0" or anything like that you just sound ignorant. Reeves has worked on this for 3+ years and he's in some sort of competition with Nolan that he just has to deliberately make his films more grounded? That's ridiculous, and the theory immediately falls apart with any Meta that is introduced. Even Hatter blurs the lines.

So far it doesn't seem like there are any metas in this movie and we don't know what Matt Reeves Mad Hatter would be like.

A gritty, noir aesthetic does not necessarily mean this film will be more grounded than Nolan. It is not a linear scale. Films can be more grounded in some ways and less in others. Part of why Reeves could be going for such a gritty aesthetic is because he wants to ground the introduction of more sci fi or mrtahuman characters. We are talking about the guy who made two film about talking apes taking over the planet with a super serious and gritty aesthetic. We know little overall about Reeves' approach either way.

awful photos

Nah they're cool
