I’m not freaking out, you’re freaking out. This is our first look at the Batmobile, and it’s epic AF. What’s more, these new images also revealed the first look at Robert Pattinson’s Batman with a full cape. So don’t worry comic purists, Gotham’s protector will feature his full iconic look.
The above image comes to us from Matt Reeves’ personal Twitter, which the filmmaker regularly uses to directly communicate with the public. Directing The Batman is obviously a high profile gig, and the rabid fanbase has already seen a variety of set videos and photos. But Reeves and company have also been methodically releasing glimpses of the movie before those leaks arrive, retaining control over the narrative of the upcoming DC blockbuster.
As for the Batmobile itself, it looks like a super charged Dodge Challenger. This gives the iconic vehicle a far more realistic feel, as it feels like Bruce Wayne simply added armor and gadgets to an actual car. Both Christopher Nolan and Zack Snyder gave their respective Batmen a tank-like Batmobile, so Matt Reeves’ version certainly feels like an exciting change of pace.
The Batman‘s version of the Batmobile obviously has a very modern feel, as his gear and various vehicles feel like they could be driven around today. But Matt Reeves’ version of Batman’s signature car might also be a nod to the Golden Age version of the Batmobile. Check out a comparison below.
