I don't even know where to begin.

I... I, its a piece of garbage! This is something out of a Terminator movie or something, its ridiculosuly huge and to exposed at the front. I thought Batman was a man of the dark, but drivibng this thing will just get everyones attention.

Also, here's a picture of Christian Bale on set dressed up like Bruce Wayne.

I dunno, I have hopes for this movie and want to see it succeed, just at least better than the last 2 pieces of garbage (or was it three?).

You have to take in to consideration that this is going to most likely be the Bruce Wayne becomes Batman story. He's not going to have a jet engine car ready, nor the designs for one.

And having this lying around makes so much more sense? He's a wealthy urbanite kid, why would he drive around in a mutant tractor?

Ya know, the bruce wayne bit is partly to distract from who is really is, and this seems pretty different from a rich kids car.

What kind of special vehicle would it be? The Bat Hummer?

Worst Batmobile ever.
The only thing that could make it worse is if Ron Jeremy is the next Robin. That would be bad.

Well, I would rather Ron as the new Bond than that tool Orlando Bloom.
Orlando blows.

Okay from the very start, they tossed around some unusual designs for the batmobile (there was one with a stylized bat-head on the front of something that looked like an evil Back To The Future DeLorean for a long time). The idea is that for most of the film, Bruce hasn't settled on his identity. Bruce was operating as a vigilante before he donned the bat garb.

So in that respect, he was probably going for function over form. I heard you'll probably see "Easter Eggs" in the movie. Design diagrams for the Batmobile you see in the first movie, etc.

I still think this film is going to rock. Oh and keep in mind that in the comic, Batman has had a number of different-model batmobiles (and even has a tricked out Humvee stashed). He also has at least two different Batplanes.

It was released last year. Three piece story. A LOT more cameos. Batman's offensive return in "Dark Knight Returns" set the world spinning. This series takes place a few years later. Batman's war has become something of an underground terrorist operation, and it's repercussions are reverberating throughout the world, and have an impact on how the twisted world of the future deals with a renewed threat from the old days.

The Dark Knight Returns. Best comic book story ever told. Takes place in a future where Batman had been retired for ten years and comes out of retirement in a world that doesn't want him there anymore. Has the best Superman/Batman fight evar!

In "Dark Knight Returns" Bruce Wayne ditched the Batman identity fifteen years before (they allude to the idea that the death of the second Robin made him give it up) and Gotham (and the world in general) has gone to shit without someone keeping Gotham and the assorted superheroes (Superman, for instance) in line. When Two Face is apparently "cured" and instead goes back to his old behavior, Batman returns, and essentially starts a war on crime. He takes back the night in Gotham from the gangs and a slew of old villains (and finally kills the Joker, for instance). In the midst of this, a teenager named Carrie Kelley gets it into her head that the only way for the world to be a better place is for people to fix it themselves, so she suits up as Robin and goes out to help the fight. She ends up teaming with Batman.

"I want you to remember this, Clark. I want you to remember my hands around your throat. I want you to remember the one man who beat you."

Was worth it because Clark Kent showed up at the funeral with a busted lip, etc. And it helped redefine Batman as a character.

Let us not forget the best scene in the entire series!

Batman knocks out thug.

Thug wakes up to find something covering his face.

Batman sez, "You know who I am, punk? I'm the worst nightmare you've ever had. The one that makes you wake up screaming for your mother. You've got a mother, don't you? Every punk should have a mother."

Batman continues to taunt him for a while, starting to question him.

Thug sez, "I'll tell you everything, man. But the deal is.. I walk. No cops."

Batman sez, "I don't think you understand the situation. You're not in a position to negotiate..."

Batman removes the cape covering the thug's eyes, showing him that he's hanging face first off the Gotham Towers by nothing but a length of rope tied to his feet.

It was tough work, carrying two hundred and twenty pounds of sociopath to the top of Gotham Towers, the highest spot in the city. The scream alone is worth it.

He continues to be like that in the sequel. He's the scariest bastard in the world and he knows it. I love what he does to Luthor. He lets Lex Luthor (a significantly jacked up Lex Luthor) beat seven kinds of crap out of him just so he can be there when Luthor finds out what he did to Luthor's plans...and how fucked Luthor is. It was beautiful.
