New batmobile!?!? eww

eww

What were they thinking?

If it aint broke...

That new Batmobile is ass ugly. Everytime they make a new Batman film it just becomes much worse than the one before it. They really should've just stopped after Batman 2.

quoted for absolute truth

That thing is terrible. I guess they couldn't figure out how to make the Batmobile into a pimped out SUV with 24s, so they just made it a damn tank!

YEE GADS MON. That is awful. *shakes head in disgust*

quick to judge. clearly the batman hasnt gotten his cool car yet. Keep in mind this is an origins story, not Batman 5. And the other batmobiles were Joel "batnipples" Schumacher's fault. Just defending the franchise

You guys are too harsh. How else do you expect Bats to navigate those sand dunes in downtown gotham?

just because you dont have a cool car, it doesn't mean you can drive THAT

hell, i'd rather see batman cruising around in a fuckin Kia Rio

I like it, reminds me of the Frank Miller Bat-Tank. It looks like a modified military vehicle, which is fine for a Batman early in his career.

it looks like it was made with scrap metal. and i think they forgot to put a cockpit in it...

Remember Megarace? That's what that abomination reminds me of. But Bruce Wayne seems much to high class and sophisticated for that thing.

I never thought i would say a good word about schumacher but at least his batmobile was somewhat bat-like.

Damn, these Batman movies just get worse and worse. God bless Tim Burton for doing it the first time and doing it right.

Yup, what Da Munk said. :)
It reminds me a lot of the Batmobile they use in Batman: The Dark Knight Returns.

I got these larger pics and a little of the back story off of AICN.

It's beginning to grow on me, a lot, since I now know it's not THE Batmobile. ;)

Sounds very James Bond-ish.

I miss the old school (Adam West old school) batmobile. That was the coolest thing ever when I was 5.

Yes...

Batman uses a car, manufactured by Wayne Corp...

But NOBODY could put those two together...

Moreover, what the fuck? Batman can't drive that hunk of shit. It looks like some fucking promotion vehicle for Pepsi Max or some shit. Honestly if I was hardened criminal, I'd be too busy pissing myself laughing at his jumping car than shitting myself in fear. The whole point of Batman is he's a fucking badarse motherfucker who drives a smooth ride and dispenses with vigilante justice in the most violent and terrifying way possible to the scum of Gotham city. Such a thing would be impossible in this dune buggy.

Yes, this proves that any good idea can be fucked away beyond redemption.

No one ever complained about Batman's special pupose vehicles, but the were always sleek and futuristic looking. They were classy and functional.

Hollywood sucks.

Isn't this batman supposed to be more around the beginning of batman? [EDIT: According to IMDB the title of the movie is Batman Begins, so I'm right for once.]

It makes more sense that the first batmobile would be an ugly piece of shit with very few features compared to the newer models.

It's actually a joint venture between the Batman franchise designers and the Aliens franchise. Sigourney Weaver is in the next Batman installment riding shotgun.

Looks like Hummer just kicked some money at the Batman Franchise...

I don't understand the argument. You guys keep saying, "I know it's ugly, but it's the first Batmobile." So what makes it ok for the first Batmobile to be a hulking POS? I would assume the first Batmobile would be a modified street car, something you buy off the lot, since he is just getting started. For example, a highly modified Porsche, Viper or Corvette. Why would he spend an assload of money and waste all that time to build a one-off load of crap? And if he was going to spend that money and waste that time, why not do it right? What changed between Batmobile #1, the hunk of crap, and Batmobile #2, the sleek ride? Did he get a girlfriend or something?

it's not even black? :(

Don't forget Winona Ryder's manning the gun turret.

Why is the Batmobile green? I guess this early in his career he's still waiting for his trust fund to kick in so he take his car down to Maaco.

Maybe it's like the Hicks/Newt version of the Batmobile, in the first five minutes of the movie it's get blown up and Bruce will have to ride around on Charles Dutton for the rest of the movie.

Anyway, the cast for this flick is completely awesome, I hope they don't ruin it with bad designs.

I'd like to point out that, as evidenced by the taxis in GTA:VC a jumping car can be fucking awesome.

They can make the car jump, but WTF? Why call it batman? I don't seem to remember Batman having any freaking jumping car, or any other vehicle that looked like that.

Sure, this is only a movie, but how does that give them the right to change it so that it becomes fanciful POS where the only resemblance to the original story/character is the name and maybe a costume?

I think it's just the lighting that's making it look green. It looks pretty black in the pics from the official site:

An ugly, jumping car?

Does the horn play the Mexican Hat Dance too? ;)

Oh settle down and stop acting your age.

This movie is aimed at 12-15 yr olds, whom I am sure will feel the new batmobile is "sick" or "ill" or whatever.

I laughed out loud at that :)

And what a shock, that's what everyone is saying on IMDB.

Annoying 12 year olds.

Dude that's the grip -er I mean tight, yeah... that's it.

Wait, Batman's audience is 12-15 year olds? That can't be. I refuse to believe that I'm that big of a dork and that everyone I know is also a dork. Oh my god I'm surrounded by dorks.... *sob*


Oh yeah FaderMonkey's right, it's just the lighting in those pictures that make it look green. For a second there I thought they'd turned the batmobile into a ricer.

Well put one vote for liking it here.

I think it looks great. A HELL of alot better than it's predecessors. It finally looks more like the armored car it always was.
Very mean looking.

i personally think everyone needs to read frank millers versions of batman year one, and the dark knight returns... amazing stories, that may lay down some info

and as the batman comic, every new artist that draws him, takes a different approach on him, as do film directors...am i saying that the past few movies have been great..hell no, but if you give a franchise over to different people, they're gonna see things from different points of view....

take a look at the crow for example...

Amen to that!

Thank you Moobie for the addition to the signature :)

I second the "Just because its BEFORE the first batman doesnt mean it needs to be a piece of crap"

Okay, any director has the right to take his own direction with a particular movie, I'll give them that. Naturally someone will put more of their heart into something if they can make part of it their own. And in effect you should get a better more worthwhile product in the end, because the director has personal stake in it.

But when you're making a movie based on something else (be it a comic, novel, history, or chicken curry) you have a responsibility to the source you're drawing from to accurately present the material.

And you should always remember your audience. And I think the fan base for Batman goes way beyond 15.



*edit* Jimmy4 No prob man. I'm glad somebody thought it was funny. */edit*

That thing is an atrocity laid upon movie-going mankind.

What the fuck?

Batman Off-Road?

I kinda like it, but I am interested in seeing how they use it in the movie.

If I was Batman I would get a one of a kind Military protype over something off the self, Function OVER form. I mean Batman is just starting off, maybe he gets a new car at the end of the movie.

everything else in the movie has shaped up nicely so i'm going to let this side and hope this is in their only briefly.

How do you know? They haven't finished shooting yet. Hell, we have only seen three shots of Batman so far.???

The green is because in the film the vehicle is originally a military test vehicle. Wayne uses it and modifies to suit his purposes. This film is NOT aimed for 12 year olds, all current reports including one from Gary Oldman saying "it's gonna be an R by the looks of it" point to the film heading in a more adult direction.

Who the fuck makes this shit?!? I mean yea the thing goes 220 mph and can supposedly jump 20-40 feet. But it looks like a tank for the military! The batmobile alone is an excuse not to see this movie!!!

Casting has been good and has shown that the director is taking a much more serious approach to it than some of the previous movies.

If this is true, they can have batman ride around on a pink scooter with Hello Kitty stickers on it and I won't really mind.

Rock on.

In general its kind of cool, but as the Batmobile it just plain sucks.

What in the hell.

dont hurt me, but I like it, a bit....
looks a bit like mad max to me...

That's just about the supidest thing I've ever seen. Each Batman movie was worse than the one before it. How bad will this be?

It doesn't look too bad. Way different from the other movies.
I don't really care about the damn Batmobile, this movie is going to suck anyway.

disgusting. wtf? i thought it was supposed to be a car...not a...i dont know what the hell that is

why don't we wait to see how its used in the movie before we criticize? I doubt we'll see this thing patrolling the streets of Gotham. Clearly this thing isn't for every night cruising. Probably not all that fast either. I'm sure it's not what he'll be cruising around in for the entire movie. Lets wait for the movie to hit theatres before we condemn it...

either somebody spends wayyyyy too much time designing this new bat mobile or not enough....

I hate it that it ruins the bat-like look the previous bat mobile have, but that the same time I like the futuristic-ish/tank armored vehicle.

I guess they are sending Batman to Saudi with a car suped-up for sand dunes.

Oh thank god...it's not "the" batmobile. I would like to see what they do with it though and let's see if the movie is any good. So far...2 and 3 blew.

how can you say batman returns blew? 1 and 2 were the only good ones

Batman & Robin, & Batman Forever were the ones that blew for me anyway

I vote no for the batmo-hummer. yup, thats a stealthy one there. I'm sure its about as stealthy as a rhinoceros. The old batmobile was sleek, and stealthy, like Batman himself. Thats something the hulk or his equivilant would drive

Niiiiice. Bale's come along way from Empire of the Sun. This movie's gonna be so cool. (Even with the BatHummer)

I hope that's not his walking-around cape.
That thing's fuckin' huge!

I like it, actually.

It looks more practical than sleek and sexy... and more based in reality than any of the cars used in the films.

Besides, if I knew my car was going to get shot up, I'd rather be driving a tank like that than a modified Porsche. The purpose of the Batmobile isn't to be a sexy ride. It's supposed to be a war machine. As I understand it, anyway...

What? Is Batman beating up kids in this movie?

Batman: BattleBots Champion

Coming Fall 2005

If Cillian Murphy is a kid then yeah, I guess so.

I didn't know that they were filming the new Batman in Iraq...

Newsweek has an article on Batman Begins and there a small bit about the batmobile. You can read the entire article at the link, but here's the batmobile part:

http://msnbc.msn.com/id/5197046/site/newsweek/

Batman Returns was fine, but it wasn't as good as the first movie.

Post removed.

Hm. Let's see... We've got:
Christopher Nolan, a fresh director known for taking stylistic risks.
David Goyer, a writer who's a fan of and has respect for the comic book source material.
A cast of top-notch actors including Christian Bale, Michael Caine, Morgan Freeman, Liam Neeson, Gary Oldman, Katie Holmes, Ken Watanabe, Rutger Hauer, and Cillian Murphy.
And a studio that's taking a hands-off approach this time around instead of demanding the introducion more happy-meal friendly designs and concepts.
I think I'll go ahead and give this film the benefit of the doubt.

You mean I can't expect the Batmobile Humvee to be in my Happy Meal? Damn, I guess I'll just have to be happy with counting my steps to the theater.

Looks like a cross between a Hummer and a DeLorean.

I love thee Frank Miller. I'll be happy as long as there aren't any foreign accents. Foreign accents = bad action movie.

Just a video of the unveiling of the new BatMobile, it's kinda hard to believe they okayed this design but I still like it.

http://www.quarterbin.net/img/op4305.jpg
If you guys haven't read it, I suggest ya'll give it a look.

Well, here's a pic of Bale as Bruce Wayne. Fucking perfect man. If there's anything that'll make this movie worthwhile it's gotta be Bale. http://appstate.edu/~bm48531/wayne.jpg

I kinda like it, although It just doesn't fit my vision for the batmobile. I'm looking forward to seeing this, as not raped by Joel "Please, shoot me and put me out of my talentless existence" Schumacher.

bltzkriegmcanon

Oh my. This movie's gonna rock... or atleast it better.

http://www.bizarremag.com/forum/atta...p?postid=61045

Christian Bale, next to Michael Keaton, is the quite possibly the best choice for Bruce Wayne, I could ever think of.

That looks ugly as hell.

I like it. Kind of that big hulking piece of crap Batman drives around before he realizes he needs something a little more stealth.

I agree.

People forget that there was never just ONE batmobile; Bruce Wayne made vehicles for different purposes and as technology advanced.

I agree that it looks like Miller's vision of the bat-tank, which I actually think is a good thing and makes me hopeful that maybe, just MAYBE this won't be a POS like the last few movies in the franchise.

Oh, and Batman: Year One was GREAT!

That vehicle looks more like a MAD MAX nockoff. But being how this will be an origins story i will hold my disgust till see the trailer. It seems like the new batman will be rough and gritty...no polished body armour and shiny toys. If this movie is grimy like that with a whole lot of serious ass kicking then the new car will fit in fine.

I love it.

The more I see it the more I like it.
Looks great for the "Dark Knight"
