It rocks! I don't know what the rest of you are on, but I think it kicks ass!
It's been a while since I've actually thought that the batmobile could do some damage.
I'm lookin forward to seeing this thing in action!
My guess is this thing will take us all back to "The Legend of Zelda: The Windwaker" controversy.
People were skeptical about it's "LOOK". The way it will "compare to the previous installments". If you catch my drift. And they hated it before they actually got to play it! And as it turned out, it was one of the best games of the year! both for it's look, and how it was different from anything before it!
All I'm saying is don't judge a book by it's cover. Let's wait to see this thing in action before we tear it apart like vultures.
Yeah but the whole idea behind the Batmobile is that it LOOKS the part.
You can't compare it to the Wind Waker controversy. With that, it was down to the fact it was a chnage in direction, but everybody agreed it was still Legend Of Zelda-esque and that's why it won everyone over, it looked more like the old 16 bit Legend Of Zelda but in 3D (the big heads, big eyes, simplicity, and it was retro). See what I mean? I wouldn't mind the change if it still resembled a Batmobile, in spirit at least if not looks. It doesn't look like any Batmobile in ANY version in ANYTHING. Doesn't look like an older retro version, doesn't look like a new version.
IT DOESN'T LOOK LIKE A BATMOBILE AT ALL!
the new batmobiles sucks sucks and sucks some more. the batmobile is supposed to be slick and stylish and just all around cool , batman isnt some hick who is going going mudding in 33 inch tires . the only cool car scene they could make with taht is if the batmobile went 400 mph AND flew over the grand canyon , but i bet thats not gonna happen so they need to get the car from the original batman back ..... or hell the car from batman and robin with the plastic wings and the neon lighst would be better.

Not really,
Have you ever read "The Dark Knight Returns"? It is widely regarded as the greatest piece of Fiction in the Batman universe, and the Batmobile in that book cannot be descibed as sleek or elegant.
Personally, I think it is great that the movie is going the more realistic route and abandoning the Batmobile styling of the last three movies.

Yes really. To the devil with "The Dark Knight Returns"; it's horribly overrated. The Batmobile is supposed to be sleek; maybe not "elegant."
Horribly Overrated? Then give me some examples of Batman fiction that fades "The Dark Knight Returns". Start naming more critically lauded pieces of work.
I don't give a damn what the critics do or do not laud. They can go the the devil, too. Comics that I laud over TDKR include the Killing Joke, Devil's Advocate, Arkham Assylum: Serious House on Serious Earth, Jazz (a LotDK miniseries), and a fair number of ordinary comics, especially Legends of the Dark Knight series.
