THE BATMOBILE THREAD

[Invader Joker]

Snyder's Batmobile look like a flying cockroach.

I would love a return to something that resembled an actual car.

Alex Ross rules. That reminds me a lot of the Forever mobile though

BF Batmobile is maybe a design deviation or two away from being a great iteration, as that Ross drawing kinda proves.

 

[antsman41]

Batman Forever as a film and aesthetic isn’t far off... it was just a bit leaning towards camp more than grounded/dark.

Obviously less so than anything B&R did afterwards.

When it comes to the Batmobile im really unsure, i cant come up with one because it could easily look out of place.
Thats imo even harder than coming up with a batsuit.

Snyders Batmobile worked fantasticly from a lot of angles so i would go with something like that.
But its hard to say because of the visual style of the movie isnt known at all and something "fancy" might look dumb.

But i fell in love with White Knights batmobile and would go with that...i love the thing.

I agree, I actually think the shape of the Forever Batmobile is pretty dope and this kinda removes the aspects that don't work for me. Forever as a whole I think is a few aesthetic choices, a performance adjustment or two and a script polish away from being a perfect adaptation of a sort of a late 70's/early 80's comics, superheroic, James Bond-y Batman. I'd like a flick to take another crack a that

That thing is a really cool concept

 

[thebatfan5194]

Would you guys be against having multiple Batmobiles for different purposes?

Like have a more Tumbler-esque Batmobile for missions where he’d have to plow through trucks and probably be hit by large vehicles?

A more sleeker sports car type one when speed is more necessary?

Ah, i could have posted a picture for those who havent seen it...thanks for doing that.
I love the concept because its so unique and the car looks like it can have many purposes

Yeah i would be against it.
The Batmobile should be a allrounder imo, a car that can do a lot of things.
Of course there can be different ones but i would like to have a car that is built to be prepared for dozens of situations.
Thats why i love Batmobiles like snyders or the Arkham Batmobile.
As much as i love Burtons or the BTAM ones, those things look like a sidewalk stops them dead in their tracks.
The Tumbler is on the other hand too much, always thought the thing is crap and just too bulky.
I get the "grounded" idea but i do think they could have gone with a far less bulky car.

That is just the toy version of The Batmissle I have. And the front middle section taken away.

 

[OutOfBoose]

It belongs in Star Wars or something...

I understand where you're coming from, its futuristic true but the concept is really cool

 

[Boy Scout]

I’m not in love with that giant gap in the middle. It looks weird.

 

[Babillygunn]

That thing is a really cool concept

I loved how White Knight actually had all of the cinematic Batmobiles pop up in the story

 

[Travesty]

That gap in the middle is a bit too much. I think it looked fine on The Tumbler, but I’m not really feeling that. It looks like two motorcycles glued together with a cockpit.

Some of the concept art and actual design used in Titans...

I like the cockpit of the second one a lot.

 

[Boy Scout]

That’s my least favorite part of it. Otherwise, I love it.

 

[TheVileOne]

I would like a Batmobile that actually looked cool.

 

[Rorschach2012]

The Snyder Batmobile and Batwing both didn’t work for me

None of the modern cinematic ones have worked for me at all. Burton and BTAS all looked fantastic.
Tumbler looked like garbage. Snyder's looked like garbage.

Arkham Knight also looked like garbage and basically followed the Tumbler playbook.
