I HATE that thing!
Ruined Batman Begins movie. Glad it got destroyed in the Dark Knight.

^To me it just did.
Batman uses sleek fast "cars" or "motorcycles." Not a Hummer on horse steroids.
This vehicle fits the movie Mad Max, not Batman.

The vehicle was supposed to be his "starting point". Did you start out driving a nice car or did you start out with the handed down family sedan? Now that the Tumbler is gone I'm sure we'll start seeing something nice and sleek in the upcoming movies.

I do love that batmobile, but the original 1966 Barris batmobile is hard to beat.

Add me to the list of fans who are glad the tumbler is dead.

Tumbler was a fun car, I haven't seen the movie yet, but W/E I'm stoked to see it.

Either way, I liked the Tumbler, it fit in with the Dark Knight perfectly. It wasn't camp, it wasn't sleek, but it was tough as nails, and when you saw it you knew it was meant to dish it out and take it as well.

im sorry but this batmobile was more badass than all the others COMBINED
especially the ones clooney and kilmer drove as those were just over-sized rice rockets

The tumbler as the Batmobile is @!#$in bad ass, but i do agree it doesnt fit 'Batman' very well. It does seem to fit this Batman though. I love the motorcycle too. I'm interested to see what they do with it next.

I've actually been doing some research into making a 89 Batmobile.
I really like the time and effort that Mark Towle put into his kit.

I actually almost bought a 85 vette to use as the suspension/drivetrain donor last week. Just waiting for the pole barn so I have the room for this thing.
