The Batmobile Robert Pattinson will be riding around in is smaller and much sleeker, resembling a spruced-up Dodge Challenger and sharing some visual similarities with Batman’s Golden Age Batmobile and the Batmobile he drove in the 1960s TV series.
The Batmobiles from the Tim Burton/Joel Schumacher era of Batman movies were heavily stylized, while the Batmobiles that Christian Bale and Ben Affleck’s Caped Crusaders operated felt more like tanks than automobiles.
Should The Batman get a sequel or two (and let’s be honest, the chances of that happening are strong), it’s possible the Batmobile will be upgraded and grow bigger, but for now, this Batmobile is a good fit for a crimefighter who’s still relatively new to the crimefighting game.
