As iconic movie cars go, the Batmobile is us there with the Bullitts and the Astons. But which Batmobile are we talking about? There have been many a lot of movie cars, but none are as menacing and as cool as the Tumbler.
Technically never called a "Batmobile", the Tumbler made its debut in 2005, as Christoher Nolan reinvented Batman as "The Dark Knight" a more realistic hero, compared to the Disney-like versions for the 90s.
The trilogy of films has been finished, and while we wait to see the dreaded Ben Affleck version of Batman, we have good reason to remember what made the Tumbler great.
Jay Leno is one of the few "civilians" who got to test the Tumbler down the road. If you've ever wanted to know what it's like to drive a crime-fighting vehicle down the road, this is your chance to find out.
Mihnea's favorite cars have already been built, the so-called modern classics from the '80s and '90s. He also loves local car culture from all over the world, so don't be surprised to see him getting excited about weird Japanese imports, low-rider VWs out of Germany, replicas from Russia or LS swaps down in Florida.
