Matt Reeves reveals the new Batmobile
- Thread starter Spectromixer
- Start date
Between the cowl and the car, definitely seems to be drawing from OG BatmanNeal Adams batmobile vibes:
Or this Chris Warner 1940's look:
Slower than what? I can tell you that a twin-turbo V8 is faster than a turbine variant. An electric might be quicker in 60 feet but not faster overall.
If you are going for speed, a V8 is the most logical and practical solution.
You right. Kids ain't buying that toy either. I'll just suspend my belief.
I'm so fucking ready for this.
So far absolutely everything they've shown or leaked looks right up my alley, I wouldnt change a thing.

Some sort of fictional hybrid Batman variant? Hard to sneak around with a V8 chugging along.
That would be my choice. Based on where the exhaust is it would be soul shatteringly loud.
that's basically what bruce did year 2
why sneak when you can STRIKE FEAR
Can't say I'm a fan of anything that's been released so far, officially or unofficially. At least the casting is inspired.
Probably straight piped too because this Batman giving zero fucks.
With the amount of money Bruce Wayne has and compared to the Batmobiles before it, it looks like it was made with some money he found in his sock drawer. I mean, its impressive if you are the average Joe, but most this is the Batmobile...
Weight distribution.
It's hard to tell, but the engine seems to be mounted almost over the rear axle. I think it is probably still mostly in front of it, making it mid engine instead of rear engine, but even then if Bruce wants to avoid being perpetually on two wheels, the front needs a lot of weight.
Eh. As a Bat-Tank sure but as a Batmobile? Then again Nolan also gave us an ugly Batplane.
I actually really liked the Arkham Batmobile. Looked like a beefy sports car that was a mix of various other Batmobiles. Looked sleek but also looked like a tank at times.

There's no reason to assume he didn't pour a bunch of money into other systems we can't see. It's not an unobtianium powered transformer, but it's no less sophisticated than the '89 version.
You don't have to spend billions to achieve the same results. It's a car, with gadgets and a jet engine.
This is me as well... But likewise I also hate tank-mobiles. Not sure which is more displeasing, but it's not a deal breaker regardless.
I mean at this point Dom has more superpowers than Batman so sure why not.
It's almost like people are being willfully ignorant about this or something or they only want the same batman in the same batman time frame with the same stories and same, been there/done that looks.
Yeah the arkhamobile wasn't too shabby although personally I was a big fan of the Tumbler.Eh. As a Bat-Tank sure but as a Batmobile? Then again Nolen also gave us an ugly Batplane.

"It's year two" isn't a catchall description. As far as we know it's not an adaption of the "Year Two" mini series but was described as being the second year of his career as Batman... and that doesn't inherently mean he has no tech. It's kind of a needlessly rude way to dismiss that people don't like the design.
That doesn't mean they're right or even that their desires are justified. Just that it's a reductive way to take shots at them.
There's seems to be some debate on the amount of coil packs on either side. I count 4, others say 5. But either way it's not a W16.
I'm still not convinced it's not two 4 cylinder blocks mounted to a strange bottom end.
I would have gone with a more Ford GT inspired look than a muscle car.
I just feel like the muscle car(a car that drives best in straight lines) doesn't match Batman's character or fit his needs. He'd a car that steers exceptionally well; muscles cars aren't known for that.

The ironic thing is a number of the previous Batmobiles were only good at driving in straight lines, especially the beloved Burtonmobile - which had a gigantic turn radius. So much so that when he needed to pull a quick 90 degree turn in the film, Bats had to rely on latching to a street light using a grappling hook in order to hurl his car around the corner. Beyond that the movie cleverly edits around any other tight turns he needs to make.
