While not technically a real car, we simply couldn't resist including this amazing concept vehicle. The vehicle's concept is to be able to transport up to four astronauts at a time around the "Red Planet's" surface in style. It comes with a handy detachable lab and uses solar power to charge its volt battery.
The rover was designed by Parker Brothers Concepts who are famed for their "outlandish" vehicle designs for films and TV shows. If I thought about how many hours we put into this thing, I'd probably cry. It's way too many. Yet another car that resembles the Batmobile is the Nissan BladeGlider. A concept car from Nissan, it has some interesting design features and engineering quirks that would make Batman himself blush. BladeGlider was developed with form following function.
Nissan crafted the vehicle's unique architecture to give the driver and passengers 'sustainable exhilaration' -- a fresh electric vehicle driving experience based on peerless technology and exotic styling. Lamborghini Sesto Elemento worth 2.
The iconic Lamborghini Sesto Elemento is yet another real car that could easily pass as a Batmobile. Built as a special edition, the Elemento is undoubtedly a masterpiece of engineering and car design.
With its sensational power-to-weight ratio of only 1. An incredibly powerful-looking vehicle, you could easily envisage it in the next Batman flick. Though very similar in design to the car, the progression of the s saw the Batmobile change again for the sake artistic simplicity; hence, the "bubble dome" Batmobile was created.
It retains many of the features of the previous car, with the major exception being the now separate dome over the passenger compartment. The car has also lost many of the curves of the previous car, being essentially a very long, thin box with the dome, fin, and "bat nose" features added.
The on-board laboratory was lost, leaving only a two-passenger compartment under the dome. Many Batmobile fans dislike the overly simplified lines of this car, which would last until the next redesign came in the early s. Another variation of the "Futura Batmobile" appeared in Detective Comics , used as Batman tracked down a criminal who nearly killed Robin.
Although much of the design followed the standard comic version of the Futura, a few details have been changed. These included wider rockers, larger fins, and, most notably, a separate Bat Mask been added to the nose of the car between the grille openings. Dick had moved away to go to Hudson University , Bruce and Alfred had locked up Wayne Manor and moved to a penthouse in the heart of Gotham, and the larger-than-life Batmobile became a thing of the past.
To retain a low profile, it had bulletproof one-way mirrored windows and diplomatic license plates. It also represented two Batmobile firsts: gull-wing doors and a remote driving system. The latter was originally developed as a safety measure to get Batman out of tight situations, but was found to be equally effective acting as a decoy and has since appeared in several Batmobiles since then.
Although it is referred to as a "nondescript" design, the yellow-striped paint job and roof accessory still retained a bit of the previous Batmobiles' bravado. A variation of the Batmobile appeared in Detective Comics This version was much larger than the sports cars generally used in the s, and looks more like a full-sized car. The only "gadget" used in this particular car is a police radio, which Batman used to keep in touch with Jim Gordon and his officers during a cattle stampede.
Ernie Chan further developed the roadster in Batman by adding a recessed rear window and bringing the roll bar up to the same height as the windshield.
The "cape" across the rear deck remained, as did the small headlights and yellow oval bat emblem on the hood. It's use in the issue is primarily limited to transportation for Batman and Inspector Clive Kittridge , though an early scene in the comic demonstrates the Batmobile's tough armor plating when it easily shrugs off a collision with a hijacked cargo truck.
In mid, a special variation of the standard Batmobile appeared in both Batman and Detective Comics. Based on the popular Super Powers Batmobile , this design had a full set of front and rear canopies, "Coke-bottle" sides, integrated fins, and generally rounder features, just like the toy. The biggest criticism was that it looked like a car that was designed like a plastic toy, which turns out, it was. Batman and Robin , the final installment in the series that began in , attempted to end the series with a bang.
To make up for the rather dull response to the Batmobile, Ling went back to the drawing board and tried to design a Batmobile worthy of a new Batman, played by George Clooney.
While the film's quality is questionable, with some considering it the worst Batman film, Ling's new Batmobile is widely considered an improvement over the previous one. She achieved a more attractive look by taking inspiration from classic roadsters , such as the Jaguar D Type. This Batmobile could go up to mph, had a length of 30 feet long and utilized an open-air cockpit.
To really differentiate it from the previous Batmobile, Ling removed the organic-looking ribs from the sides of the vehicle.
New design features included three small exhaust nozzles on both of the rear fenders, separating itself from the sole jet exhaust featured on the previous versions. Though the vehicle had fins on the back like the past version, the fins were changed to look sharper and had their size increased substantially. The wheels on this Batmobile were less flashy, with only a silver Bat design included in the center.
The rest of the tires were 22" and featured prototype Good Year tires. The second animated series to premiere in the 90s put its own spin on the Batmobile.
The New Batman Adventures ran from and featured a Batmobile that was wider than the others of the era. The vehicle had a two-passenger coupe, along with a pair of thin jet thrusters. This new look would prove popular, as it was used in the s in Batman comic books.
It took some time after the George Clooney-led Batman movie for the Batmobile to return to the big screen. When Christopher Nolan finally got a hold of the series in , he put his directorial stamp on Batman with the Dark Night Trilogy. At the helm, he completely revolutionized the franchise by restarting the entire universe.
To design the vehicle, Crowley and Nolan stuck to their vision to make the Batmobile as realistic as possible. Like the rest of the movie, the new Batmobile was gritty and, like Nolan wanted, realistic, with the production designer going on to describe the vehicle as a combination of a tank and a Lamborghini. The functionality of the vehicle and it's sleek, slightly dangerous look made it a fan favorite.
Nicknamed the Tumbler, this Batmobile was used throughout the trilogy. It's an imposing vehicle, measuring in at 15 feet and 2" long, as well as 9 feet and 2" wide. Due to its size and design, the vehicle weighed over 2 tons. Despite its weight, the vehicle offers incredible performance — this new version:. Other than its impressive stats, the Batmobile had the ability to eject a custom motorcycle called the Batpod. After ejecting the Batpod, the rest of the Batmobile self destructs, helping Batman in extreme situations, where he needs to get away quickly and cause a distraction.
Additionally, The Dark Night Rises also featured a Tumbler in camo rather than the classic black look. Unlike the critically acclaimed Christopher Nolan series, the Batman reboot, starring Ben Affleck as Batman, did not make a huge impression on critics or fans. However, the new Batmobile placed itself in competition with the Tumbler, some fans even preferring it. Dennis McCarthy and Patrick Tatopoulos, the production designer, designed the new Batmobile, taking inspiration from its predecessor, but slimming it down and making it more visually streamlined in appearance.
The vehicle retains its wide look, but takes some weight off, while also utilizing a wheel arrangement that makes more functional sense. Its defined features pair well with its obvious utility, as it still gives a heavily-armored, ready for combat look. Unlike the Tumbler's high-off-the-ground, plow-through-anything appearance, the Batfleck Mobile sits lower to the ground and has wider wheels to give the vehicle more maneuverable qualities. Even though it's maneuverable, it's still an imposing Batmobile, as it measures 20 feet in length and 12 feet in width, giving it an authority on the road.
When it comes to gadgets, this Batmobile is tricked out. The front of the vehicle is armed with a mounted machine gun. Other modifications and gadgets include sonic repellent, harpoons, chemical devices and spiked coils. The Batmobile also features stealth features, scanning devices for sonar and toxic elements, anti-ballistics systems and night vision.
Its suspension system also adjusts to different driving surfaces, meaning it can be taken off-road comfortably. The future for the Batfleck Mobile is uncertain. It's made its appearances in Batman Vs. Superman: Dawn of Justice and Suicide Squad, but whether or not it will appear in future releases is still unknown.
What's for certain is that with the Super Hero craze still going strong and the power of the Dark Knight, we'll be seeing more Batmobiles in the future. For now, though, you can update your Batmobile rankings to show which Batmobile you feel is best. When people name their favorite Batmobiles, the top models are usually the Batmobile, the television series Batmobile and the Tumbler.
At Volo Auto Museum, you can see all three of the iconic Batmobiles. Any Batman enthusiast will love to see the authentic vehicles up close. Additionally, the Tumbler at the museum was restored from a wrecked stunt car that had been damaged on set.
In fact, Volo's Tumbler is the only one used on-screen outside of Warner Bros.
