Blink and you might miss the entirety of the latestBatman v Superman: Dawn of Justiceclip. At 10 seconds, it certainly isn’t long. But it’s very cool. This quick sneak peek shows Bruce Wayne suited up and sitting behind the wheel of the new Batmobile. And we get to see just what this wicked cruise missile can do, as it takes big curves at top speeds.
The new Batmobile has been one of the central selling points of this follow-up to 2013’sMan of Steel. Warner Bros. even had the screen-used vehicle on display as part of their studio tour this past December. Here’s what Tour Guide John had to say about the vehicle as it will be seen and used in this latest DC Comics adventure.
“This is the new Batmobile forBatman v Superman: Dawn of Justice. It is designed by Patrick Tatopoulos. It is build by Dennis McCarthy. It’s 20 feet long, it’s 12 feet wide in the back. It’s got some new features we’ve never seen on a Batmobile before. Like that Gatling guns just sitting on the front of the Batmobile. Another one of the new features that we don’t see in other Batmobiles is the fact that it raises for scenes where it’s going into battle. Or it’s lower to the ground when it’s just cruising through the streets. It’s more aerodynamic. So it’s a whole new hydraulic system.”
In a previous interview, directorZack Snyderexplained that this version of the Batmobile has been a longtime passion project for Bruce Wayne. He has cobbled it together from various parts. He hasn’t had Lucius Fox design it in a tech lab. It has become more like a weekend project for the billionaire. And the design is said to be first based in the look of the Batmobile from the 1989Batman. Tour guide John went onto say this about the car.
“One of the most impressive stats about this thing is that the tires have shaved down tractor tires. So it’s like a fifty inch wheel in the back. They made two of these. It’s made out of carbon fiber and fiberglass. And it’s pretty much costume made from the ground up. The original idea, the design of it? They were inspired by the Michael Keaton Batmobile. you may see it in there somewhere. But of course they had to have that really modern tank look to it to get the feel of Batman v Superman. The other cool thing, and you can see it not only on the Batmobile, but also on the new Batsuit. You see how it’s dinged up. This thing is worn. It’s the same thing with Ben Affleck’s batsuit. It has scrapes in it. Steel knuckles, everything. This is a different version of Batman. Where he’s not starting out as Batman. He’s been Batman for a long time now. This thing has seen some stuff.”
