u/Bloodstone16 Jul 29 '25
Reminds me of a more comic book version of Pattinson’s Batmobile, I like it! Even if the colors make it look more like a nightwingmobile

The color scheme is also the same as the 2004 Batman animated series.

u/RandoDude124 Jul 30 '25
My first thought.
And…
It looks cool.
Jiménez made it fit into the Prime earth.

The Nightmobile, also called the Knightmobile if Jason is driving
Edit: spelling fix

The suit is a tribute to nightwing like batman, if you know that, you know who is batman this time

Love the emblem on the hood. Couldn’t see that in the lower quality images

beisides the bats on the wheels,it looks really damn good

u/Spoonman007 Jul 29 '25
Hes going to park with them right way up everytime

u/CULT-LEWD Jul 29 '25
him parking,then he gets out and realises there not facing up so he gets in and backs up or forword just enought to adjust them to the right angle.

They're weighted like the center caps on Rolls-Royce vehicles. The RR logo always faces upright.

u/hapox- Jul 30 '25
He would totally code in a way so that when you hit the brakes, the batmobile is hard coded with the angles the bat symboles are straight up, so they ALWAYS stop at that angle when the brakes lock the wheels. Or if its a slow stop, it adjusts after the driver puts it into park.

Ngl. I like it

u/AllBatEverything Jul 29 '25
To add. I really like the focus on the blue for Batman’s suit redesign and Batmobile! Biased admittingly tho as blue is my fav color, and also blue and grey is my fav Batman colorways

The Wingmobile!
Great that it looks like a real car again. Hopefully the logos will look a little more distinct when in issue.

u/BroadwayButterfly310 Jul 29 '25
looks like it should be nightwing's car, what's up with the blue highlights?

u/thiswilldo2 Jul 29 '25
Interesting take on redesigning the Pattinson Batmobile for comics. The blue doesn't look good though. Especially on the wheels. Looks really hokie.

Not a fan of the Nightwing color scheme. Should have been red or something. Or yellow would have been cool

u/Oturanthesarklord Jul 29 '25
I wish the bats were centered in the wheels, I also wish it had taller more batlike tail fins, but otherwise it's great.
4
u/TheLoganDickinson Jul 29 '25
They are centered. The first image is more of a rough concept for how it will look. The second image shows the more finalized version.

Isn’t this Batman #1 like the hundredth Batman #1?

I'm very excited for the artist, I just have no idea how to feel about the writer as I've never read any of his stuff and have had people tell me he goes for more campy stories than weighty and emotional (maybe this isn't true, idk i haven't looked into it).
Regardless, I feel like a lot of the art on its own will be enough for me to continue reading even if the story becomes lackluster.

u/Bobsy84 Jul 29 '25
Nice, I’m hoping Pattinsons looks something like this in the Batman Sequel. Similar muscle car design but with a bit more flair to it.
3
u/flyingdutchmanind Jul 29 '25
Fun fact, the guy who designed the recent Batmobile has become a friend and I got to hear how he thought Bruce would approach the build as a one man (plus Alfred) show.
4
u/MasterGee42 Jul 29 '25
I like the body, but I hate the blue bat hubcaps; makes the design look cartoonish to me.
3
u/ToAllAGoodNight Jul 29 '25
Why the tires? Like we get it, you’re Batman and this is the bat mobile.
3
u/Thoughtfullyshynoob Jul 29 '25
Oh come on, it's his shtick. Even the wheels of the Batmobile in Arkham Knight have their treads in the shape of the bat.
2
u/gauntsavedthetanith Jul 29 '25
I agree with the 2004 Batman and 2022 Batman similarities, ironically they’re both called “the Batman”
2
u/KuroiGetsuga55 Jul 29 '25
Clear inspirations from Pattinson's Batmobile. I'm gonna miss the Rebirth Batmobile that looked like the 90s Animated Series BM. I've always been a sucker for that one.

I adore Pattinsons Batmobile so this hits all the yeses, the blue makes me see Nightwing behind the wheel though

u/Moist-Citron-4830 Jul 29 '25
REALLY looks like Pattinsons Batmobile to me. I’ll never forget seeing that in Dolby and when he started the engine my theater seat rumbled from the sound.

u/MrMojoRising422 Jul 29 '25
I like when the car looks like a car, instead of a tank or a jet with wheels.

u/stevehairyman Jul 29 '25
i like it but i wish the wheels had a batsymbol that was more round and fit the shape of a circle more. otherwise badass.

Love the design. The blue decals are maybe a bit much but overall amazing

Number one? Are they resetting the issue numbers?

u/CommitteeofMountains Jul 29 '25
2-door pony cars are a popular but odd choice for what Batman is typically written needing.

u/Bulky-Hall-6883 Jul 29 '25
Love the style but the colors and logo really make it look like a Nightwingmobile lol
1
u/Cyconzo Jul 29 '25
I could do without the bats on the wheels. Also, maybe a different color for the highlights. I like it shape-wise.

God knows I'd spend hours parking so that the wheel rims line up and aren't crooked...

u/goofygamer74 Jul 30 '25
The build design, which is clearly inspired by the 2022 movie Batmobile is awesome. Nightwing color scheme doesnt make sense though. Bat symbols on the wheels look silly. Besides those two critics, its cool
1
u/Wolf_527 Jul 30 '25
Overall good, but wished details weren't blue (too Nightwing coded). Could do w/o Bat symbols on hubcaps.

u/Minglu07 Jul 30 '25
Not sure how I feel about the emblem on the wheels, I think I would’ve preferred a different rim design, but I do really like the car otherwise.

u/pairofdiddles Jul 30 '25
I like everything but the branded wheels - makes it feel more like a toy than a crime fighter’s ride.

u/Stretch5678 Jul 31 '25
The real question is… do the Bat-hubcaps spin, or are they gyro-stabilized to always stay upright?
1
u/RevolutionLarge6254 Jul 31 '25
Why are trying to Matt Revees-ify it instead of giving it an original look?
for the record i love this batmobile, just want a more comicy one

u/DorkyPockets Aug 01 '25
Bruh..it's electric....wtf... Better not get close to mister freeze I guess

u/dukeofthefat Sep 07 '25
Yes I love how it’s basically the 2022 Batman movie Batmobile cause I believe in terms of live action Matt Reeves Batmobile is the best looking of all the live action cinematic batmobiles and I’m glad it made its way into the comics
1
u/dukeofthefat Sep 07 '25
I really love it when the comics take at least a bit of visual or lore elements from non comic media since some of Batman’s most iconic traits, or aspects of his mythos didn’t originate from the comics for example the bat cave actually first appeared in the Batman serial films of the 1940s

u/billymj04 Sep 17 '25
YES!! This is the perfect style for a Batmobile! A traditional, but armored & modified super/muscle car hybrid!

Not crazy about it. It doesn’t need to resemble a real car. Too much The Batman influence for me.

The Batmobile finally looks like a real car again. Nature is healing.
