The bat 4X4?
I am so glad I never liked any of the DC characters.

There is only one Batmobile!
(and it was built by Barris)
Anyone looking for this stuff, btw?

It's for those murky Brit marshes.
Batman goes to the United Kingdom?
come Robin, use the Bat-British translation book to determine what this man is saying!
Wonder how the "Black Beauty" in the upcoming Green Hornet flick will look?
Please (oh please) don't screw that up!
Well it is supposed to be based upon a military vehicle (per the story-line).
And we all know the Military's lack of good taste in vehicle astetics...just look at the Hummer.
Weird, but if the movioe is good I don't give a crap about the car

that is just weird!!
It sure is different. [img]confused.gif[/img]
Yes, it is supposed to be inspired by military designs and by the Batmobile from Miller's The Dark Knight Returns.
Oh c'mon.. This is the shit I hate about Hollywood.
Studio Suit: "I got an idea!!! Let's give Batman a Bat Humvee !!" Other suit: Yeah that'll wow 'em"
*wank wank wank wank wank wank wank* [img]graemlins/wilted.gif[/img] yey Hollywood [img]confused.gif[/img]
sure isnt the sleek, smooth look you think of when you hear batmobile
Well, there go my high expectations of the film.
Well, it is being called BATMAN BEGINS, a prequel to the movies that have been released so far. And the 'batmobile' is supposed to be an experimental military prototype. I think the 'look' might work, as Bruce might not be experienced enough to create all the custom work yet, and unsure if he'll even have his go-go-gadget utility-belt in the script.
Reminds me of the Marines tank from ALIENS.
I know this movie is going to suck ass, but that is THE stupidest vehicle I have EVER seen, and it is NOT a Batmobile!
kinda crappy, but, at least it is original, sorta
looks right on par with the batmobile of the dark knight returns if you ask me... [img]eek.gif[/img]
(which is what the movie is based off of supposedly)
I can't judge an entire movie based off one vehicle image... we'll see how it goes...
actually, it's based off of batman: Year One, the opposite of that comic [img]wink.gif[/img]
though yeah, it's kinda like it, no tank missile launcher though
Personaly, although it's not the classic style, I dont think it's that bad, I mean, what's more city/fear like, a sports car, or a weird wannabe tank
I'd rather see this one:

I don't love it, but I'm certainly not going to jump to conclusions about the entire movie based on it.
i don't like it, it's not what most batman fans are used to seeing, i'll still go see it though.

<font size="2" face="Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">Well, it may not be frank miller's one, but I didn't think it was year one either... was Ra's Al-Ghul in year one?Quote:

I only had year: two - and as an added bonus, McFarlane drew 3 out of the four I believe it was... my comics are put away, and I don't feel like checking.
Miller wrote year One, and, I dont know if Ra's was in it, but, it's l.oosely based on that, I'd say mainly just the wholoe it's Batman's first year thing
Ra was definitely not in Year One. If memory serves, none of the major criminals were in it.
I actually think it's pretty cool! Doesn't scream "batman" to me, but I like it nonetheless...
wonder how big a tail them fo'ties in the back throw.
<font size="2" face="Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">That's what I was thinking! That squat, chunky, heavily armored look. 'Cept it doesn't have the bat-face like miller's of course.Quote:

Who knows, maybe this is Bat's all-terrain side vehicle- and the sleeker street model is stashed someplace in the cave.
Ps- Happy Birthday Levere

A cannon-turret would look nice atop that.
