Will the Ford Mustang Batmobile Return on Gotham?
A BAT MOBILE!? ?? #Gotham pic.twitter.com/jqZpKNecEa — Gotham (@Gotham) April 13, 2018 A year ago this month, audiences caught a glimpse of Bruce Wayne’s first vehicle on Fox’s primetime show “Gotham.” I took the liberty of calling it the “Batstang” or the Ford Mustang Batmobile — the latest version of Batman’s ride since “Dawn of […]

Chevy’s LEGO Batmobile Gets Critiqued By “Real LEGO Minifigures, Not Actors”
Okay, Chevy is officially just screwing with us right now. Shortly after parodying its own (highly suspect) “Real People, Not Actors” advertising campaign with a Cruze Hatchback ad featuring “Real Dogs, Not Actors,” the bowtie brand is going one step further, with a computer-animated commercial starring “Real LEGO Minifigures, Not Actors.” Very cute, Chevy. Very […]
Chevy Unveils Life-Sized LEGO Batmobile in Detroit
Most of the outrageous concept cars at auto shows are little more than oversized toys for full-grown adults. The 17-foot long, 1,695.5-pound LEGO Batmobile from Chevy, however, holds the distinction of being an oversized toy for kids. Though many full-grown adults will be forgiven for falling in love with the Bat-brick vehicle, as well. With […]

Dayton Body Shop Brings the Caped Crusader to the Community with a Batmobile
The sound of an engine echoes through the streets. Like thunder, the engine’s roar serves as a forerunner to the sight that soon appears. Whipping around the corner like a bat out of hell is the powerful and fearsome Batmobile. However, these aren’t the streets of Gotham City, and Batman is not behind the wheel. […]
Hey Look, It’s the New Batmobile
We’ve already seen (part of) the new Batmobile from Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice, but today we got a better look at the beast, courtesy of Jo Blo Movie Trailers: It appears to be an interesting portmanteau of two Batmobiles from days gone by. It has the same militarized armor shell as the Tumbler […]
Have $140K? Buy a Batmobile on Craigslist
As far as used car gems on Craigslist go, there are exceptional finds—like the Star Trek boogie van—and considerably less exceptional finds—like the 1998 LeSabre Truck, which is like the Kuato of cars. You take the good, you take the bad, you take them both and sometimes you wind up with a friggin’ Batmobile. More […]
Quick, Robin! To the Earliest DC-Licensed Batmobile Being Auctioned!
If you’ve ever pretended to be Batman, chances are you didn’t imagine yourself as any of the vintage iterations of the caped crusader. It is more fun to make Christian Bale impressions, after all. But, for those who read the original DC comics in the 1940’s and 1950’s, a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity has arrived to re-live those glory […]

We’ve read about the big screen debut of the Cyborg character and the possibility of appearances from Aquaman and […]
NISSAN CONCEPT 2020 Vision Gran Turismo Looks Like a Batmobile
The cover has come off of the Nissan Vision Gran Turismo model at last, hinting at a future design and sparing us all the trouble of having to memorize a long name that features a bunch of confusing letter/number nomenclature and way more punctuation than necessary. The NISSAN CONCEPT 2020 Vision Gran Turismo is an […]
Here is Your New Batmobile. Also, Batman
Well, don’t say Zack Snyder never did anything nice for you. Apparently, the director was in something of a giving mood today, providing fans with not just their first full look at the new Batmobile, but also at the man who will be driving it. Cape, cowl, and all. See the Batmobile transform in our […]
New Batmobile Teased in Tweet from Terrible Director
Zack Snyder, who is pretty likely to ruin your childhood fantasties of what a Batman/Superman film ought to be, says that the first full look at the Batmobile could come as early as tomorrow.
I’m going to go ahead and get this out of the way: whatever expectations you have for Batman Vs Superman, you can probably expect the actual film to fall well short of them. That is, of course, unless you’re like me (read: a miser) and you have almost no optimism whatsoever that Bats versus Supes can be […]
