Will Batman be taking his kids to soccer practice in that thing?

Well... it's certainly ugly, but it could work within the story.

While the Batmobiles have always been super-awesome looking cars, I always wondered why he'd want something so friggin' long, aspecially when he's trying to turn corners and dart down alleys...

"This is the vehicle that's described in the Goyer script. This is The Tumbler, built as a bridging vehicle for the military, then never used. Goyer describes it the first time we see it as "a cross between a Lamborghini Countach and a Humvee. Sandy camouflage, stealthangled panelling and variable-angle flaps across the back." It can do a rampless jump at 100 mph. It was built by the Applied Research branch of Wayne Corp., which is how Bruce Wayne stumbles across it. He modifies it a bit."

I like it...maybe not as a Batmobile, but i like it.


Perhaps Santa can bring me one for Christmas



Which explains why he needed the grappling hook to make sharp right turns....

Is this supposed to be THE Batmobile? I cannot see that being driven in Gotham, but I can see him using it for another purpose.

Or it could very well be the main car, er, truck, a la DKR.

Looks ugly, but like others, i'll wait to see it in action. I like the slick and cool batmobiles

That thing makes me wanna cry.

That Batmobile needs an enema! (toots party horn)

Yes.

Is this thing absolutely, positively, without-a-doubt an official pic?

So perhaps this means that this is kind of like the Batplane or the Batboat, in that it's not his main ride, but he uses it in certain situations.

man it's ugly, it looks like it could crap out: small furry animals, children and midgets.

It came from the offical WB movie site,so it should be.

Batmobile? What kind of name is that? It looks more like a Puma.....

Freebie! Freebie! FREEBIE!!
Zilch! Zero! Nada!

So, Bruce Wayne's personal mechanic is Jesse James?
FWIW, i like it.

I like that it's not associating itself with any of the other Batmobiles...

I like it.

I love it.

The initial Batmobile should be utilitarian and functional, not sleek, stylish, and pretty-looking.

You want sleek, stylish, and pretty-looking, go rent Batman and Robin.




You... you don't want to make Satan happy, do you?

That's what I was thinking.

But is this before or after Jesse got ahold of it.

Same here.

Course in Dark Knight Returns, that comic was set several decades after the 1st appearance of Batman and this movie is supposed to be based on Year One.

Yeah, but at least it seems like they're taking it from some aspect of the comics.

I think they can make that work, I'm still keeping my hopes up for this one.

I won't believe it till I see it in ENTERTAINMENT WEEKLY magazine.
The producers couldn't be that dumb-ass to use that.

Well, these pictures are actually on the official batman begins website. So, you should beleive it. I think it even matches a vehicle from the script. Here's the original link.

On the bright side - it is not near as a gay as the last two Batmobiles. The neon lights was a wee-bit to much, if you ask me.. Still, the '89 Batmobile is the single best.
