The Tumbler or The Batpod?

Started by Myth4 pages

Not that it took away from the movie, but did anybody else notice that the Batpod had to be leaned to be steered? I don't think it had any way of steering with the handle bars.

Didn't really like the Batpod much...

Didn't like the Tumbler that much, either...

But if I had to choose, it'd be the Tumbler, merely because it offers more shielding and protection from explosives, gunfire, and other dangers in general...

True, it does make Batman a bit more vulnerable, but it had cooler scenes for sure.

Was looking at Tumbler pics on Google; happened to run into this. Dude has built a Tumbler in his garage and it runs.

Wow, that's amazing.

Even though I love both the Tumbler and Batpod, most likely he will be using the Batpod in the next one, unless Batman feels the need to rebuild another Tumbler

It was implied that Wayne Ent. build two prototypes of the Tumbler in BB. So they can always fall back on that.

It also stands to reason that Batman would most certainly want/need a car, considering what he does, the Batpod isn't enough. I think they'll be making a new design for part 3, to keep things fresh and exciting.

They really should. Maybe something a little bigger than the Tumbler, more durable, and hella more badass.

I didnt mind the Batpod. It didn't impress me in the way that, im sure, the filmmakers were hoping, but it was handled fairly realistically. I will say though, where the Tumbler felt practical the batpod felt like an uninvited gimmick.

I thought both of them fit perfectly. Both wowed me.

Bigger than a 5k pound, 9 foot wide and 15 foor long beast? More durable than something that smashes through cars, cars and dumptrucks?

Maybe Batman should just buy himself an Abrams tank and spraypaint a bat logo on it, certainly be bad-ass on the screen.

Well, by durable I mean it can take hits from a bazooka. And if it were made bigger, I want a totally different design...you should post a pic of what you were referring to.

Honestly, I thought that the Batpod was an absolutely HORRIBLE idea when I first heard about it, and I thought it was going to bring the movie way down. But the way they introduced it and carried it out, I thought it was an amazing addition to the franchise.

The way that Batman has been getting new suits/vehicles in the movies has been done very well. Actually showing why things have changed and why he has new equipment rather than just starting a movie with all new stuff.

Good words

Yeah, I had a similar feeling but mainly because I was so in love with the Tumbler. When I finally saw it in a wizard magazine I just geeked out and got so excited, and the same thing happened when I viewed the trailer. I'm anxious and scared to see what Nolan will do next...because I know it's gonna top the Batpod, and it's almost scary to fathom what it'll be.

I know Nolan will come up with something he hasn't come up with before.

He most certainly will and if the Batpod is any indication, it shall be rad.
