Full Image of New Batmobile from 'Batman v Superman' Revealed
by Andy Neuenschwander
Every Batman movie has at least two big decisions to make: what the Batsuit will look like, and what the Batmobile will look like. For "Batman v. Superman," those decisions have been made...and revealed.
The new Batmobile was unveiled this week at the Las Vegas Licensing Expo, revealing a look that's slightly different from what many were expecting for the film. While Ben Affleck's suit seems to be based on Frank Miller's design from The Dark Knight Returns, the Batmobile ditches the tank-like look from that comic and goes for a sleeker design.
In fact, the new Batmobile looks more remniscient of previous Batman films than the more recent Christopher Nolan versions, with a more aerodynamic form and a long nose to it. The official description from Warner Bros. says that the vehicle was "single-handedly designed and fabricated in near complete seclusion by The Batman," so maybe Bruce Wayne just has a bit more of an eye for "theatrics" than Lucius Fox did.
The vehicle is said to be able to (fictionally) reach speeds of 205 mph, and is built with both Wayne Enterprises tech and some military-grade equipment as well. We're betting that's where that swivel turrent on the front came from.
We'll be seeing this new Batmobile in action in "Batman v. Superman," starring Henry Cavill, Ben Affleck, Jesse Eisenberg and Gal Gadot, when it releases in theaters on March 25, 2016.
