The Dark Knight Rises Other Star: The Tumbler – Take a Look!

The Batmobile has had quite the evolution since actual volition appeared in the ’60s television version to its altogether super-suped up version heading your way in The Dark Knight Rises . Its latest incarnation includes some nifty gadgetry including a rocket launcher, the vehicle’s creator Andy Smith told Beyond The Trailer host Grace Randolph at Comic-Con where the vehicle, aka The Tumbler, is on display along with previous versions of The Batmobile. Smith has a history in race car work and worked on a car for a James Bond film and for an earlier Batmobile back in ’89. The current Tumbler is a hybrid of a Humvee and Lamborghini and it’s the only one that has ever been named something other than a ‘Batmobile.’ Smith gives a rundown of interesting factoids in the video below, including Christopher Nolan and production designer Nathan Crowley’s hand in creating The Tumbler after toying with various model kits. Of note, The Tumbler is 9 feet, 2 inches wide and 15 feet, 2 inches in length. Those stats keep it from being street-worthy at least legally speaking. It also has a top speed of 110mph, but “film makes it look much faster,” Smith notes. The video also shows previous Batmobiles including an interview with one owner and an interview with an early Batmobile designer who also designed many other famous on-screen vehicles including four-wheel stars appearing in Knight Rider , The Dukes of Hazzard and even The Monkees .

Holy Car Porn: WB Hosts Batmobile Orgy for Dark Knight Rises

Because Bruce Wayne’s sweet ride gets everyone’s juices flowing (well, except for that Adam West-era number, which doesn’t do much for me), here’s something for the Batmobile lovers out there, taken from a Batman event Warner Bros. hosted last week for The Dark Knight Rises . Arranged for a bonus feature on the July sequel’s eventual Blu-ray release, WB gathered all 5 Batmobiles from TV and film in Burbank, to be paraded down the street and ogled by adoring fans for the first time in public. Aww, yeah. Pull down the shades and start salivating to the sexy sounds of Danny Elfman ‘s Batman score, y’all. It’s a Batmobile orgy. The car porn comes courtesy of Vimeo user Josh Turchetta, who put together footage he shot at WB’s event on March 30. (Legendary Entertainment posted photos from the event to their Facebook page , including the above shot.) In the video, behold every dark and sexy curve of the Batmobile over the years. Even the utilitarian angles of the Tumbler are pulse-quickening in this light. Lower those fins, Batman Forever -mobile! Slowly… Attack of the Batmobile(s)! from Josh Turchetta on Vimeo . And just for good measure: Remember how good Elfman’s score sounded as Michael Keaton’s Batman whisked Vicky Vale away to his lair? As for the Batmobile, the sleek and muscular Batman / Batman Returns design has always had my heart — make your case below if you disagree. [ Vimeo via MovieWeb ]
