Earlier today, fans got their first full look at the new Batmobile from Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice. The problem was that the the shots were taken by a fan on the street, and were unfortunately not very high quality. The good news is that director Zack Snyder has come to the rescue to deliver an official and utterly badass real look at the Caped Crusader's new ride :
This image was posted on Snyder's Twitter account (photo credit given to photographer Clay Enos), which has been a fantastic resource for big Batman vs. Superman reveals. In fact, you may remember that it was Snyder's Twitter feed that previously gave us two photos hinting at the size, style and shape of the new Batmobile. It started back in May when Snyder first sent out this excellent teaser image:
And then he followed it up by revealing a portion of the car along with the brand new Batman costume:
All of the images combined give us the sense that the Batmobile is kind of like a mashup of the stylish sports car found in Tim Burton's Batman movies and the tank-like Tumbler featured in Christopher Nolan's Dark Knight Trilogy (it even has a bit of Back To The Future charm in the way that the doors lift open to the the sky). Everything about this thing is awesome and intimidating, and I'd say that even if it didn't have a turret sitting on the front of the hood.
Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice, based on a story by Zack Snyder and David Goyer and scripted by Chris Terrio, is still in production and features a cast that includes Ben Affleck as Batman, Henry Cavill as Superman, Gal Gadot as Wonder Woman, Jesse Eisenberg as Lex Luthor, Amy Adams as Lois Lane, Laurence Fishburne as Perry White, Diane Lane as Martha Kent, and Jeremy Irons as Alfred Pennyworth. While filming is expected to wrap in the coming weeks, we still have a long time to wait for the finished film, as it won't be out in theaters until March 25, 2016.
