THE BATMOBILE THREAD

[Thomas Wayne 92]

Agreed. Which one was carried over to Returns though?

The plane rescue was lifted from JJ Abrams' aborted project , for example

 

[emielaen]

Reeves’ Batmobile is dope as ****. **** what y’all talking about lmao

 

[Zorro]

Hah, I just read that Two-Face story (2nd picture) last night!

Been a while since I'd looked back on the Adams stuff. There's tons of gorgeous art and panel work there. We're in good hands if his stuff is a top inspiration.

I know! Reeve's inspirations from Adams to Year One to Year Zero to Batman: The animated Adventures to film-noir to the 60s show(it was cheesy fun) and so on got me so exited for this movie! I'm also happy that Neal Adams, Dennis O'Neil, Paul Dini and Bruce W. Timm l are getting more attention instead of Miller and some of Loeb stuff, Matt wasn't joking when he said he was hardcore Batman fan

First full look at the original concept model for the new batmobile

One picture makes it look like we've finally got a Batmobile with side view mirrors, but Batmobiles continue being law breakers.

Yes! Very entertaining!

Nice to get a good front angle on the thing.

I'm still curious what that contraption is on the hood/bonnet, it looks almost like some kind of mechanised ramp. Maybe it's just stylistic and does nothing.

Probably the slide for the top of the car

Looks cool but the exposed engine in the rear is honestly as stupid as the convertible in Batman and Robin

In what way?

 

[TheBattinson]

In what way?

You could easily have someone pursue and destroy that exposed engine.

Same way George Clooney would be an idiot to be a vigilante fighting dangerous violent criminals and drive a convertible where he could easily get JFK-ed.

 

[antsman41]

A lot of race cars have exposed engines, let alone very expensive sports cars... I don't hear stories of racers or millionaires finding their vehicles ruined by random folks.

Pretty sure a car used by the scariest man, who beats up flamboyant crime bosses, wouldn't be ****ed with by street criminals... Jason Todd and the whole Penguin thing in BR were both not highlights in Batman plots.

 

[Gamma Goliath]

I really enjoy this batmobile, I would've never thought I'd go for something like this style of car but I'm in love with it. It looks almost Cyber Punk-ish

 

[shauner111]

I ****ing love this batmobile.

There are some good reasons to have an exposed engine. Easier for quick access for repair & maintenance, better for cooling, and it could also be possible that the engine (like on many race cars) actually forms part of the chassis. To be honest, having a few panels in front of it - particularly if it's an iron block or something else strengthened - will do little in the way of protection anyway unless they are made of some uber material which is bullet resistant, etc.

 

[Gold Samurai]

In what way?

It's an exposed engine. Anyone with a powerful firearm can shoot it to damage it or throw an explosive and destroy it.

 

[The Guard]

Probably boosts it up into a ramped jump.

 

[Green Goblin]

I like the look but I'd like it to have a little more of an armoured look so you could believe it can take a beating. I'm assuming it'll have weapons but it's just hidden?

 

[OutOfBoose]

This music video really made me pumped for muscle car and motorcycle carnage featuring our new Batmobile and Batbike. I hope it's as epic as in these classic films.

Batman isn't a race car driver.
