[...] I would eventually like to create another that captures the Batman’s desperation and sence of inner conflict and purpose. The Batman franchise has gone through so many different changes throughout its career both from the comic book scene and big screen. I was always intrigued with the different designs of the batmobile as well from movie to movie. Check out my article posted in http://www.cardesignfetish.com and search for “The Evolution of the Batmobile.” or go here. [...]

Checked out the Batmobilehistory site before. That guy is a true fan of the history for sure. He has info on every car from the movies AND comic book series. Awesome stuff!

Superherohype is a site that I frequent often rotaris. I’ll check out the link since i have not checked the site in a while. It’s a great site to get info on upcoming comic book movies and such

Awesome article arvy!!!I did see the trailer with the Batpod spinning and turning…Its pretty cool…And I feel the Batmobile in the first batman was suited best for him!!!Although the present one looks rugged and suits Bale’s persona…

After a bit of searching, I seemed to find the reason why the front wheel of the Batpod is able to spin ‘sideways’. See this link: http://forums.superherohype.com/showpost.php?p=15175826&postcount=453 (or see it here in context: http://forums.superherohype.com/showthread.php?p=15176611).

I think it’s because there is only one front ‘fork’ (which is able to rotate).

Anyway, here is a clip of this ‘spinning’ in action (taken from that thread given above): http://s222.photobucket.com/albums/dd87/sugarfiend06/?action=view&current=batpodclip.flv.

On another note, a possible idea for an article/blog post is to compare vehicles from movies/TV shows (say for example the Audi from ‘I, Robot’, the Lexus from ‘Minority Report’ (also designed by Harald Belker), the DeLorean from ‘Back to the Future’, and the Beetle from ‘Herbie’ ). (Assuming of course this kinda post hasn’t already been posted). Just a friendly suggestion

Thanks guys. Glad you liked the article. Yeah Vaughan….Anton’s batmobile is still one of my all time favorites!

Rotaris, I can’t wait to see this movie. I did see the trailer you were speaking of with the Batpod having the wheels spin and rotate. I was not sure what to make of it so I thought I would reserve any comment until I saw the movie.

There were a couple items I wanted to review including the old 60′s batmobile but ran out of time. I do think Harald Belkers Batmobile design for “Batman and Robin” was pretty cool but I just could not take the design seriously. As you say, it was over the top for a Batman flick.
