The Batmobile ( pron.: / ˈ bæ tm ə ˌ biː l/ ) is the automobile of DC Comics superhero Batman . The car has evolved along with the character from comic books to television and films reflecting evolving car technologies .Kept in the Batcave accessed through a hidden entrance, the gadget-laden car is used by Batman in his crime -fighting activities. Main articles: Batman Begins , The Dark Knight (film) , and The Dark Knight Rises The Tumbler from Batman Begins and The Dark Knight . The Batmobile depicted in Christopher Nolan 's trilogy of Batman films owes much to the tank-like vehicle from Frank Miller 's Batman: The Dark Knight Returns and has a more 'workhorse' appearance than the sleek automobiles seen in previous incarnations. The vehicle was never referred to as a "Batmobile" and does not have a front axle. The film's production designer described the machine as a cross between a Lamborghini and a tank .In Batman Begins (2005), Bruce Wayne utilizes the prototype vehicle known as "the Tumbler" designed by Wayne Enterprises' Applied Sciences Division as a bridging vehicle for the military. It includes weaponry and the ability to boost into a rampless jump. The Tumbler's armour is strong enough to break through concrete barriers without sustaining significant damage. Two full-sized driving versions were used in exterior shots while another full-sized model with hydraulic enhancements was used in jump sequences. A further full-sized, functional version carried propane tanks to fuel the rocket blast out of the rear nozzle. A radio controlled , 1/3-scale electric model also performed stunts in the film including the roof-top chase sequence. Six vehicles were built for the production of the film.In The Dark Knight (2008), the Tumbler returns and appears twice in the movie: where Batman captures the Scarecrow and in a chase where it's damaged by a rocket-propelled grenade fired by the Joker that causes a terminal crash to which Batman ejects from the Tumbler in the Batpod (a motorcycle formed by the front wheels and struts of the Tumbler) as part of a self-destruct sequence which sees the remainder of the vehicle explode. The Tumbler is also seen in the trailers in a deleted scene, exiting the improvised Batcave.In The Dark Knight Rises (2012), at least four new Tumblers are seen. Each of these vehicles had the original Tumbler's camouflage color scheme. Each of these three vehicles are used by Bane 's gang stolen from Wayne Enterprises. The stolen Tumblers are used in Bane's attempt to control Gotham, and are notably seen when the mass of police and criminals are about to battle. One of the Tumblers fires at the crowd of police, only for the Bat to take the shot. Three of the Tumblers are destroyed by Batman using the Bat and Selina Kyle using the Batpod.

Features The Christopher Nolan version of the Batmobile has a pair of autocannons mounted in the nose of the car between the front wheels. In "Attack" mode, the driver's seat moves to the center of the car, and the driver is repositioned to lie face-down with his head in the center section between the front wheels.
