 Behold, The Batman Begins Batmobile!
By Wind(up)bird on March 31, 2004 8:09 AM
It looks a little clunky, but I have faith in this film. Maybe this is another one of Batguys cars, not the real-mobile, but the bat-hummer or something. Dig it. Straight from the Begins official site.

Please people try to remember this is going to be a totally different approach to the batman saga hopefully much better than the tim burton and joel schumacher approach both which were pretty bad versions.If they make it more towards the cartoons that were released about 10 years ago i think they will be onto a winner.For one thing the way that tommy lee jones portraied harvey dent (two face) was totally wrong he was trying to be too much like jack nicholson as the joker.Oh well lets see what happens.

This looks great! Remember kids, this here is not a Batman 5, this is a Batman Zero. We can't be all flashy, like the last two attempts at batman flicks have been, all the time... Dark Knight returns, and I think that rustic beast is going to rock.

Yes kids remember way back when when Gotham was only farm lands and the only why to get around was in a super-combine. I mean Batman was only set up to fight the crime lords of the 50's, and really what better way to fight crime then in a lawn & garden accessory vechicle(LGAV). I wonder what kind of crops the Wayne family will plant this year. I'm voting for a whole lot of crap.
If your doing a Prequel or a character Creation movie why the hell would you use an updated style car. I'm sure the batsuit will come with cup holders too.. Or even better yet to fit the farmer style some bright red spendors and a nice green John Deer Hat. Good thing he is fighting the scarecow in this one. It just all fits. Can anyone else hear the sucking sound?

If they start selling it, someone will probably buy it. But maybe there is a reason for it looking so...funky. He can run over a few things with that car. I just want the movie to come out and see what they are going to do with it. And who could blame them if they made another version? Each person has a different vision of things.

I've been reading your so called diatribes... Come now, children, you must not judge a book by it's cover. I read bats will don a spandexy outfit. Will you cry some more now? It's a new director. It's better than Joe Shoemaker. Please stop crying, and just anticipate the best. Batman 1 (Tim Burton)'s batmobile was sleek. Cool. Collected. Bats can't have that yet. He's only finding batman, or so I've read. What I'm more worried about is plot, and villains. Who plays Scarecrow? I missed that. The batmobile is such a small piece of a bigger puzzle.

with this new movie they are trying to revive the original dark essence of the old comics and dark novels. That is why they are starting over from the begining. Its supposed to be a more realistic version as well. if batman were real could the car look like it has in past movies... no! so here is something he could've concocted himself, a monster garage type thing.

They should have used the design that H.R Giger originally did for Batman Forever. On the plus side though,it still looks better than that piece of crap they had in Batman and Robin. I mean, you could just tell that it had been designed with the action figure toy car in mind, like the way it had an open top so the figures could slip in and out easily. And what the Hell was with those other Bat-Vehicles at the end?
|
|
|
Posted by A random shemp (No Email) on April 8, 2004 9:17 PM
The Giger design was amazing...but not functional. Nolan is a top-notch director, and while I have some doubts as to the current batmobile, I know that Nolan has his reasons. The design isn't that farout when you look at the tank Bats drove in The Dark Knight Returns, and the vehicle he sported in The Cult. And it certainly is more practical in some respects. As for Burton, yeah, Burton is the bomb, but he can only give Batman strong screen presence; his vision of Batman is too dependent on German Expressionism, which is why Batman isn't the lean mean fighting machine we expect to see, and which is why we don't really get the whole foregrounding of Batman's detective skills. In the end, Burton is just fascinated by showing us what a freak Batman is--which is completely understandable (Check out Warren Ellis' Planetary take on Batman to see how anachronistic and obsessively, compulsively, fascist Batman's sense of justice is). But true Batman fans like yours truly aren't content with atmosphere and style alone. Granted, we want Bats to look good, but we also want strong character development and great narrative arc to pull us in. Otherwise, Batman becomes another inflated POS, like any other film. Nolan's smart as a razor; this Batman is gonna blow to hell our past conceptions.

Like that Batman: Dead End movie.
|
|
|
Posted by A random shemp (No Email) on April 8, 2004 9:31 PM
Dead End was a piece O crap if there ever was one. Man, Batman should never fight Aliens or Predators, even in the comics. I don't want worlds colliding like that--it's very uncomfortable. It's not true to Batman's character or history, and Bob kane would take his quill and stab himself in the eyeballs if he ever saw such an abomination. Sandy Collora, for being such an avid comics fan, certainly didn't do much to stay true to the character. It's typical of style over substance. And of course, the masses want to eat it up. But frankly, even for being a short film, I've seen much better. The action scenes were so friggin' clunky (And don't give me hell about it being a low-budget film; low budgets are no excuse for poorly shot and executed fight scenes, and there's a plethora of kung-fu films to prove that point--what do you thing the Shaw brothers had been doing all those years?)Collora is typical of those aspiring directors who boil movies down to individual shots, rambling on about this and that angle, this and that composition, and this and that lighting. Look, I've made enough movies to know that a movie could look like a piece of crap and still be far more captivating than those films that look Hollywood. Check out Lars Von Trier's work to see films that don't look perty, but are beautiful nonetheless. Point being: I like films that look good, but how a film looks is only one aspect of what makes a film; there are other factors, like pacing, performance, staging, and most importanly story. Stop calling people geniuses before they've done anything truly genuine.

No one said that he or his film were genius but in my opinion his Batman short film was pretty good. I'm not one to get my panties in a twist just because Batman fights Aliens and Predators in it and while I'm no comic book aficionado I'm still pretty sure that the're actually are comic books out there where Batman goes up against Aliens and Predators. I just viewed it as a bit of fun and something cool that no one would ever be able to make for real.

|
Posted by A random shemp (No Email) on April 11, 2004 9:43 PM
Yeah, there are comics like that, and I've only bought the Aliens one because it had awesome artwork by the Legendary Bernie Wrightson. Wrightson who got his start illustrating horror comics for EC, DC, and others--has the ability to bring out the vampire in Batman, which is what he really is in some ways (part Lugosi in Dracula part Tyrone Powers in Zorro). His drawings truly look American gothic and have a dash of a japanese influence to them. But still, the story, I felt, hell the concept, was not faithful to either franchises--Batman or Aliens. However, you're right, I should say some positive things about Dead End...I did feel that the gadgetry was more in line with what Batman would use, than those weapons presented in the films. Also, directors seem to reduce Batman to one genre, typically Film Noir--which is understandable, but they forget that Batman's also, horror, also Sci-fiction, fantasy--and Collora did a fantastic job of bringing out the Sci-Fi elements of Batman's world, which have only been touched on with the recent illustration work of Jim Lee on the Hush series, and with the Batman Beyond series (which was really a spin off of Pepe Moreno's awesome Digital Justice graphic novel.) So yes, I felt that the mood, atmosphere, and overall look was much fresher...but the film seemed like something I'd see in a 290 class project.

This Batmobile is crazy awesome!!! However, I'd place money it's not THE Batmobile. I've heard there are going to be a number of bat vehicles in this film and this is probably just one of many. However, the movie itself will rock. Burton was good, but he didn't stay too close tot eh comics either, if you look at it. Everyone has their vision and Nolan's is gonna be great, in my opinion. Batman Dead End rocked, too. THAT is what Batman should look like. Just a guy in a suit kickin' major ass. And it's fun to see worlds collide like that. It'd never fly as a feature, but for an 8 minute short, by a guy with no copyrights and a make-up studio, it's aces!!! But that's just my opinion. This Batman movie will be amazing. It'll put Burton to shame.

Yeah, Dead End is fun for what it is--I suppose when you look at it like that...But I still am not keen on the idea. BUT I also forgot to give Collora props for making Bats wear nothing more than a spandex suit. I always felt that the Batman costume was too impractical for Batman's athletic, gymnastic prowess, and part of good design is to convey the essence of a product's utility through its look. What Batman wears in Dead End is flexible, stretchable, and ready for business. And that was awesome!!!

lol you guys are all making wild theories, do some research damnit!
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0372784/
The movie is going to outline how Batman becomes Batman. (ie, how he BEGINS).
Chris Nolan is going to be directing it (Following, Memento, One Hour Photo), so it should be good.
Here is the cast
Ken Watanabe .... Ra's Al Ghul
Michael Caine .... Alfred Pennyworth
Katie Holmes .... Rachel Dodson
Cillian Murphy .... Dr. Jonathan Crane/Scarecrow
Christian Bale .... Bruce Wayne/Batman
Morgan Freeman .... Lucius Fox
Rutger Hauer
Liam Neeson .... Henri Ducard
Gary Oldman .... Lt. James Gordon
Christian Bale is the lead character from American Psycho, for those of you wondering who he is.

So Chris Nolan is directing.. This being the case we don't find out Bruce wayne is Batman till the end.. I mean you gotta have that surpirsed ending in a Chris Nolan movie. Don't get me wrong I love his movies.. But have delivery a good movie that is in order and follow a storyline without the big finale ending. We should start out by letting him deliver a pizza.. If he can handle this I think he might have a shot at making this happen to be a popular movie in England.. They'll buy anything.

Two thumbs up.. it looks awesomely real and has a millitary + Formula 1 + Space exploration technology look to it - a depiction of what could be achieved today if some rich corporation decided to build a batmobile. It brings me down to Earth and I love it. This is an awesome piece of equipment that looks nothing like what anyone has on the road these days. A racing car or buffed up F1, a tractor, an SUV, a dragster, a tank, a fighter Jet - or F-117A on wheels... that's exactly what the batmobile is about... an Unidentified All Terrain Robust Stealth Kick Ass Speed Demon of a Vehicle that can be easily repaired like an F1 racing car returning to its paddock... A Wraith on wheels... promising lots of surprises with more than believable gizmos and gadgets.
I am so looking forward to people taking Batman as a more serious character than all the cheesy takes of the past and this only leaves me with a machiavelically satisfying smile...

Agreed. I have only one comment...I believe that Batman can exist in so many different incarnations, so I completely appreciate the 60s tv shows and the 66 movie as well--why, because, in their own loopy way, they worked. They really were Kill Bill before Tarantino stepped into the limelight. The reason I don't like the last two, is because they didn't work in any capacity...aesthetically or commercially. I appreciate the first two for what they were, but even here, they were a bit clunky. My one objection with how most people portray Batman, a trend that really came full steam in the 70s comics, is with the manner in which too much dramatic emphasis is given Batman's darkness, without acknowledging the degree to which Batman loves what he does. Granted, Batman is not Superman, but I think Batman has always been a much richer character when people realize there's a lot of light to his character in the same way that Superman becomes a much fuller character when people acknowledge his dark side. I think many people assume Batman is a complex character just because he broods, and he wears black...a characterization that is all too easy to cash in on. But the best Batman comics have always been those that show Batman's emotional range and texture. This is why I still can appreciate Returns, despite its flaws, because it acknowledges that, in many ways, the Batman universe is ridiculous at best; but it's only ridiculous because it mirrors our own reality, and our own inability to take off our socially imposed masks. Still, I'm thinking I will prefer Nolan's version of Batman to all others. Why? Because as you said, it will be a more serious take. But serious should not be equal to "darker"; it should be equal to "more faithful," which is why I'm certain Nolan is the only man (outside of myself) to revive the Batman franchise. Visually speaking, Nolan's films are incredible, and the ways in which he plays with camera technique and blocking to really drive the story home is amazing. My one concern regarding his direction, and it is a minor one, is in regards to the action scenes. From a critical standpoint, Nolan has yet to stage an action scene just for the sheer pleasure of watching guys get stomped. His action has always had a Hitchcockian feel to it--very psychological, very cerebral. This is certainly a good trait, but when you're dealing with a character like Batman, some of those action scenes need to be studies in choreography, style, and wit, and not just suspense. Just watch the opening of Temple of Doom to see how Spielberg shifts from suspenseful action to action for the hell of it, to see the difference in mood and tone. Two other directors come to mind who can do a range of action, William Friedkin, and Brian De Palma...oh, and John Schlesinger (Marathon Man). If Nolan can combine Hitchockian suspense with the flash-bang actions scenes of a Woo film (of course, he'd have to tone it down), I'd rest a whole lot easier. Oh, and sorry, I guess I had more than one comment.

Are they trying to make it like the Batmobile is just a vehicle that Bruce Wayne's company is building for the military and Batman decides to adapt it for himself? Becuse that's how the design for the Green Goblin costume in the 1st Spider-man movie came about and in that case the finished design wasn't a patch on some of their eariler concept designs.

Of course it looks clunky and home made... its supposed to be that way. In the early years most of the equipment were "beta" versions of the super sleek, super stylish bat-equipment. If you use a little bit your imagination, it even looks as the burton's batmobile without the fins. I also think that the burton's batmobile is the best ever: strong, industrial, heavy duty and muscular, however this one looks as if batman is trying to cover every situation he may encounter in the road, i like that.
On the other hand, the cars from batman forever and batman & robin just suck big time...

They are going to take a realistic approach to Batman, while maintaining the classic, dark storyline from the comic books. This new vehicle does not come with decorated rims which serve no purpose. This new one looks as if it could take some serious firepower, rather than having activated shields that cover the car. What was Tim Burton thinking?!?!

a few things:
this IS the real batmobile. At Leavesden "Harry Potter" Studios, we have a full size runway. And earlier this week, i witnessed the batmobile being tested out on some ramps. It looks fucking cool!
I have also seen the batsuit- it is very simple but does not look cheap, close to looking like Michael Keaton's suit.
Terry Ackland Snow, the man who designed the first batmobile, will probably be as pissed off as some of you are!

I just wanted to mention that the casting seems to be nicely done, especially in the supporting roles. It's nice to see a great, non-mainstream actor like Gary Oldman getting a role in a large budget, potentially awesome film like Batman. It's just too bad he's not playing the villan.

I think the country comments are pretty unfair, I mean how would a redneck feel about driving that thing? Besides, maybe Batman is becomming a drag car driver? I wonder if it has a kick ass stereo and some flashy neons to go with its alround waste of money and time looks.

Im sure this has been said, but lets say it again
Who says this it the batmobile in the first place, and even if it is, its way better than the plastic crap of the joel schumacher versions.

Most of you who dont realize it yet, but this isnt exactly the "Batmobile". This vehicle is a weapon designed by Wayne Enterprises. Kinda like in Spider-Man where the Green Goblin utilized the glider and suit from his company, Oscorp. Since its what we see, and it looks like a car, Its the "Batmobile" to us and for the movie. But Im sure that the actual Batmobile wont come till the next film. Hes probably gonna fuck this one up in one or two scenes anyway. So dont worry about it.

Just thought I'd give you guys a bit of info, as my brother works for a company called Merius which is contracted to build for 'Batman Begins'.
The photo's released so far are real in that they show a vehicle that appears in the film. It is not, however, the only vehicle in the film. My bro has been told that this is a military vehicle that is stolen at some point in the film, associated with an arm of Wayne Enterprises. Batman/Bruce Wayne has no vehicle at all for the majority of the film, but realises at some point that he needs one. So he then begins construction of one, and this is shown towards the end of the film.
two other vehicles have been built, one of which is very similar to the car in Batman & Batman Returns, although apparently they have little or no 'gadgets'. The workers haven't been told yet what vehicle is used for what (as there are no bat-symbols).
Finally there is a rumour that Batman Begins will end with a view of Batman standing next to the finished batmobile, which will be the one from the first two movies! I'm not actually certain of that last thing though.
There is also a rumour that, at some point in the film, Batman/Bruce Wayne plays around with a modified Lamborgini Merciolago (bad spelling). Four black lambo's were definately ordered by the production crew, and two have been sent directly to another contractors for 'preparation'...interpret that as you like!!!

Indeed, things are looking up for the caped crusader and his fans. With the exception of that PITIFUL excuse for a CATWOMAN MOVIE, great things are about to happen!
First off, The first BATMAN ANIMATED SERIES DVD SET is set to hit store shelves in JULY.
And this fall we can look forward to the NEW ANIMATED SERIES simply titled: THE BATMAN.
(!!!YES!!! At last a truly inspired Batman Series! While the original BATMAN: TAS was one of the best shows ever made, those buffoons at FOX screwed it up! CENSOR THIS! CENSOR THAT! MORE ROBIN EPISODES! BOO HOO HOO!
Please note: Batman is a universally appealing character, this means he has just as much (if not waaaayyy more)fans who are adults.
And lastly, Batman Begins (a.k.a. Intimidation Game) A Batman film with promise of integrity! Taking the Batman legend back to it's roots and telling a compelling origin story that was semi-overlooked by the first BATMAN film.
While I disagree with the idea of making Ras Al Ghul the premiere villian, I feel the writers would not have done so without it being essential to the plot.
We can anticipate this movie and keep in mind that this is NOT intended to be a true interpretation of Batman's origins.
(BESIDES, IT CAN'T BE WORST THAN THE LAST TWO BATMAN FILMS!!!)

Ras is a great character for a new movie. I think to bring back the same villians decade after decade would be another let down. I think this movie is going to be great!!!!!!!

I also agree, I believe these guys making this movie are going to do good. I also believe this movie will definatly make or break the whole Batman thing. Making it, I believe is what will happen.

bear in mind that this batmobile was created for the military (i think) so it's not going to be a street vehicle like the keaton one

I told you guys earlier about my brother working for a contractor associated with 'Batman Begins'. Well yesterday I visited a warehouse in London where various props for the movie are kept. The garish looking vehicle is indeed the new batmobile, although its a drastic modification of a vehicle produced by Wayne Enterprises (how stupid would Bruce Wayne be to use a vehicle made by his own company - bit of a giveaway!!!).
The one thing I can say about the vehicle is that its LOUD. Really loud. As its revved, the whole building shakes and vibrates quite literally. its also suprisingly well built - you could drive one of these down the road quite safely.
My other point concerns the Lamborghini Mercielago's ordered by the production crew. I think there have been photo's released now of Brucey boy getting out of a roadster, and this is indeed the case. However, I've seen an example of two lambo's that are modified with a few gadgets - including a nifty energy shield that slides out of the front.
