I have to say this doesn’t really feel like the Batmobile to me. If I saw this without Batman next to it, I wouldn’t think it was the Batmobile. I recognize Batman has had similar looking vehicles, but it’s not obvious this is The Batmobile.
still cool though.
I like it but agreed. It’s funny the Tumbler wasn’t decked out in Bat deco like previous ones. But it was so technological and odd looking it stood out from anything else in such a way ... that it was obvious it was a batmobile. There is a bat motif although it’s extremely subtle. It looks like a crawling bat from the front. It just doesn’t have bat rims and bat wings on the back and too bat too furious logo-izing everywhere.
This new muscle bat looks like a really beastly muscle car, there an elements of bat like wings at the tail. But it looks more just like a car than the rest do.
66 and Burton’s 89 are the most iconic visually.
Nolan’s Tumbler was the most functional and unique. Story wise by far the best, with the absolute best chase scenes on screen thus far.
Snyder’s Batmobile seemed like Nolan derivative but with more emphasis on “cool” aesthetics, maybe a dash of Burton in there. But seemed to borrow way more from Nolan even if aspects didn’t make sense or were extremely over designed. Or very hardcore in true Snyder machismo way. Especially in Justice League.
This is the best route they could take things visually to make it distinct after soooo many iterations over 33 years of the character on screen.
Nolan did the heightened realism, Snyder did Frank Miller comic bookness, Reeves seems to be doing the overtly gritty almost post apocalyptic Mad Max take on the mythos. Year Zero / Year One / Year 100 esque.
