For our last movie car of the day, we went with a predictable favorite, the Tumbler that impressed us to no end in Batman Begins back in 2005.
Until this thing brought its grungy attitude to the big screen, batmobiles had fallen from grace, with the ones in Batman Forever and 1997’s Batman and Robin being especially horrible.
Director Christopher Nolan took some flack for choosing something that basically looks like a tank, totally different from Frank Miller’s creations. But the success of the latest movies speaks for itself.
The Tumbler has its roots in a prototype military vehicle built by Lucius Fox as a bridging vehicle. And so it packs guns and a booster that helps it jump without a ramp.
In the first movie of the Trilogy, the shots of the Tumbler creating havoc where shot in a studio, but for 2012’s The Dark Knight Rises, filming took place in Pittsburgh.
