The Bat (SPOILERS)

[The Dark Knight]

The Tumbler looks more "like the Batmobile" than the Clooney car.

Huh?

I echo that. Like or dislike the design, the Clooneymobile is instantly recognised as a 'Batmobile'.

It's funny that people are comparing and contrasting the Nolan and Burton vehicles since the "real world" aspect of them is what I enjoy the most. Sure Burton's vehicles looked more like "traditional" Batman vehicles but they still looked like they could work. The Burton Batmobile, the Batwing, and even that Batboat he used in Returns look like real vehicles that could work, as opposed to the "all aesthetics, no function" approach of the of the Schumacher films. Personally I loved the vehicles in the Nolan films, and even thought the Burton Mobile is probably number 1, the tumbler is a pretty close second for me, I love the nod to the DKR batmobile. As for the Bat, I really liked it. I thought it carried the design language of the tumbler forward and like Silver Nemesis said, it looks like it was actually occupying space.

FWIW, I've always like this take on the car, the 90's comics Batmobile. It strikes me as a great combination of what I love about both the Burton Mobile and the Tumbler.

I think people hate the fact that they have a strong feeling what Schumacher modelled it to look like but it still is the batmobile. As a promotion they were driving it around different cities. Do you think the tumbler could be driven about?

I don't know.
