The New Batmobile Is Here

There's a new Batmobile patrolling the gritty streets of Gotham city, and it is one mean-looking machine.

Matt Reaves, producer for the newest film incarnation of the "Batman," teased us with a few pictures of the new Batmobile. We think it sort of looks like Torino and a Pantera had a baby, but what do you think?

Also, what sort of Batmobile would you build if you made Bruce Wayne money?

It looks like they tried to go back to the old idea. 
 

I loved the tumbler. That thing was so gnarly

If I had Bruce Wayne money?  Jet turbine powered on the top end, electric on the low.  Brabham Fan Car style system for all the downpounds all the time.

What does Bruce Wayne do with the old Batmobiles?  I want the Tumbler.

My Batmobile mini-rant: Why was the jet engine used so often? You're in a congested urban environment. 

This, like the Tumbler, makes sense. Personally, I'd love to see a Group B-like Batmobile: enough ground clearance for curbs, 0-60 in nothing flat, and just the right-sized footprint. 

Or the tank from the Dark Knight Returns:

I like it, can't wait to see it.

Jet turbine + electric is how I'd envision a future Batmobile.  It'd sound like the Adam West or Keaton Batmobile then switch to all silent electric upon a crime scene.

And I hated the Tumbler.  That thing was so stupid.

This looks pretty cool.  I'm in.

But to each their own.

This one looks a bit more plausible and less over the top absurd than most other recent Batmobiles. I like it taken on its own - but I'm not entirely sure it's a Batmobile.

In reply to j_tso :

And painted in VantaBlack (or whatever it is) for maximum stealth mode at night.

It looks like a mix of the prerunner and ice chargers from the fast and furious movies.
