batmobile1 batmobile2

sorry about the red x...

its crazy!!

Is the new batman based in the future or what? That thing looks more like a tank than a batmobile.

it looks like some kind of new military project

I think its about year one. When bruce first becomes Batman, so his toys are quite what they will become over time. BATMAN FUCKEN ROCKS:thumbsup

If they keep it a dark movie it will do great. They need to stay away from all the bright colors like the last two which totally suxed.:2 cents:

Cool..I want one

interesting, i just hope they dont fuck up the movie

wtf, this ain't no batmobile !!?? :helpme

Are you sure that isn't a picture of some kind of new farm equipment?

He had to start somewhere.

Saw those awhile back. Pretty freaky.

I'm just glad they picked: Christian Bale to play Bruce Wayne. if you haven't seen him in Equilibrium (2002), you need to.

a great sci-fi movie. maybe what matrix 2 & 3 should have been.

as far as the batmobile goes, it is a nice change. he needs a war machine, not a glorified supercar. plus, with the director of "Memento" at the helm, it should be a dark & gritty movie. looking forward to it. here's hoping they don't kill the franchise for good. and let's hope it's not like Catwoman.

jesus, that looks like a low-rider hummer

OK, this SUV craze is officially out of hand. :feels-hot

I wish they had gone smaller than bigger... The tank thing sucks ass... Oh well... hopefully they don't fuck shit up with this one. :helpme

Yeap by the looks of things it's going to be a dark and morbid type of looking movie. Should be better than the last few crap attempts. :thumbsup

That is one mean looking thing. Man I would love to have one.,

great movie :thumbsup

poor Batman will never be able to find a parking spot for taht fucking thing

I want one of those fuckers LOL

Perhaps this batmobile-concept is derived from the "bat tank" from Frank Miller's Dark Knight series.

...or maybe he can have any parking space he wants. :)

Is batman really fat now or something?

Holy headlights! Batman has a new ride, and it's all bat-pimped out.
The new 2005 Batmobile, unveiled at the Javits Center yesterday, looks something like a cross between a Lamborghini and an armadillo with a jet-pack.

It cost millions to design and produce, and it actually works, its creators at Warner Bros. said.

"It has to get up to 220 mph to get airborne, but then it can jump 20, 30, maybe 40 feet," said Charles Roven, producer of the upcoming Batman movie.

Forty feet?

"We haven't filmed it jumping yet. That scene will be coming up in the next few weeks," Roven said.

Warner Bros. hired a 24-hour security detail to ensure the new Batmobile doesn't fall into the wrong hands, say those of the Penguin, Riddler or any of Gotham's real-life criminal masterminds.

Guard Frank Carbone wore a pinky ring and a scowl as he protected the Batmobile's powerful jet engine, radar-evading electric controls and oversized "super swamper" tires.

"It's much cooler than I expected," said Robert Emmer, 19, a student at the School of Visual Arts.

"It looks like a black toad," said Chris Tegeler, 38. "I'd like to see it jump something, maybe the Intrepid."

The upcoming Batman movie, called "Batman Begins," stars Christian Bale of "American Psycho" and will hit theaters next summer. The big-budget Warner Bros. flick examines Bruce Wayne's transformation into Batman after his parents are slain.

Studio execs said they weren't able to run live demonstrations yesterday because they had to drain the Batmobile's jet fuel for shipment.

Plus, said Warner Bros. President Dan Romanelli, "We might get a ticket. And I don't think it has air conditioning."

aside from the 40-foot jumps, the best part of that article is:

"Studio execs said they weren't able to run live demonstrations yesterday because they had to drain the Batmobile's jet fuel for shipment."

:)

That's what I was thinking... that was a great piece of work.. and I loved how he totally kicked Superman's ass.

Anyway, yeah... that's the first thing I thought of when I saw it.

excerpt from another fansite:

Does anyone else find 220 mph on that chasis and lack of aero difficult to swallow.

It takes brute power more than aero to make a car fast but it takes a lot of skill and physics know how to push a mass through air to a top speed that high. I might have believed it when I could not see all the air pockets etc in that dark picture but the one with the vehicle at the car show blows it. There is no way to make a vehicle with that many holes, with those huge tires, with that lack of chasis strength hit speeds that high and the LAST thing you do going that fast is jump it, I cry Shinannigans!

Biggest thing in vehicles and performance is weight/vs thrust. I see this big rocket orifice on the back so PERHAPS they are using a jet turbine for thrust but when you do that you need aerodynamics to keep the vehicle planted on the surface you are running or it simply starts going end over end. Big Foot can jump 40 feet but it sure as hell aint goin 220 mph :2 cents:

That thing will burn up quick without an adequate cooling system. I don't buy that it can go anything faster than 15MPH

oh, well. the car is just right to start with. this movie starts from the beginning when bruce lost his parents that's why the design is just ok. but, hope they don't mess with the script like what they did in the past batman movies. :thumbsup

well, if its coming out of the prequel I understand where this monster is coming from. i also hope that it could do what it was supposed to. all in all, one funky monster ride! i want one, does it come in chrome? hehe...

i prefer the papamobile

Maybe he uses it to plough his fields of rye.

i dont like it

I think it looks pretty cool

Batman meets redneck monster truck rally...

Batman is gay and he needs a gay batmobile, that thing sucks.

considering:

I'm sure the movie will end with Bruce designing a sleeker batmobile that we're all use to seeing. I just hope the whole movie is as dark & gritty as "year one" / "dark knight".

Looks pretty stupid to me.. I have a feeling this movie is going to flop badly.

Wow, it's so....


big. :Graucho

I'd take a ride on this baby :winkwink:

Holy bat-tractor, batman!

Well, the 1:64 diecast version will at least look nice in my near-complete collection.

I like the new one better.
