[Streetrod]

Ok with the new film opening this week it got me thinking about my fave Batmobile the current Tumbler, I just love it and would love one in my garage, so which do you prefer. This little video should help you out:

Tim Burton's rendition of Thrust II for me.

There is a bloke on ebay who will build a tumbler for half a million pounds! Bet he's over run with orders!

The first one for nostalgia, but they are all rubbish really.

The Tim Burton one is the coolest looking but the Tumbler strikes me as the most fun

Is that the one which had a wobbly tail fin that moved around every time it hit a bump?

Looks like it wants to fall over backwards. Totally uncool IMO.

[ApexJimi]

Gotta be Tim Burton, just SO cool

[Lanxx]

Looks like a universal hate for Schumacher's one haha.

The Schumacher era cars were pants, they were not real Batmobiles imho, too bright to flashy, the batmobile was always a dark machine (even the old Adam West era was not that bad!).

For me it has to be the Tim Burton era machines as they were the first Batmobile that I ever saw (other than the cartoons) when I was little. It remains my favorite to this day, with the Tumbler following a close second (it is just bloody cool tbh).

Is he American and can he get the front wheels to steer without the axle in between?

The tumbler is a close second to Tim Burton/Michael Keaton's Batmobile. Form meets function whereas the Tumbler only has function going for it, it's pig ugly from any angle.

[JohnoVR6]

No option for Gordon Murray's zero-emission Batmobile?!

Has to be the Tumbler for me, without doubt.

I read an interesting article by the guy that designed the Tumbler, the theory was that Batman did not have the ability or time to build a Batmobile which is why he requisitions the Tumbler as it’s a failed ex military project. The fact that the one in the movie does its own stunts apart from driving on the roof and was able to make 30 foot jumps, drive through walls and zip along at 100mmph plus for the street scenes makes it the best in my book

I also love it in camo livery:
