The Dark Knight Trilogy "Creating Batmobile" Featurette (2005/2012) 

Disney in 2026: We’ve brought on Chris Nolan to direct the next star wars film Chris Nolan in 2028 BTS: *So I felt the audience deserved to see a jedi’s weapon truly in action, so i made a real lightsaber*

Chris Nolan directing Transformers: so i felt the audience deserved to see transformers truly in action, so i made a real transformers.

The fact that it’s 100% real and functioning just makes this one of the best super hero movies to date. This vehicle is crazy. Would be nuts if military found some sort of combat use for them.

easily the best batmobile

My uncle was a head pyrotechnic on this movie and he brought me on set and let me ride in this absolute beast when I was about 7 years old. They were filming the scene on lower whacker. I tell everyone I know this.

Love how grungy and strong it looks. The other batman got the sleek detective batmobile. He gets the militant, in the streets, crime fighting, intimidation batmobile. A growling, roaring dark unseen tank immediately arriving on scene increases the fear factor tremendously. That’s freaking epic!

Guys says: "The Tumbler was to have capabilities that we felt a CRIME FIGHTER would need to have in a modern day." Shows the Tumbler destroying a bunch of COP cars, hahaha

Nolan trilogy : Uses a real tech and gets a good picture... BvS : Uses CGI but also got a great shot and filters... Justice league : *The exact opposite of these two*

Don't care what people say, this is by far the greatest batmobile.

So... They needed a fictional sci-fic vehicle, so they have build fully functional sci-fic vehicle... Oh god I love this...

8:30 wtf didn't realise those jumps were fully real

“You take that thing off any sweet jumps?” -Napoleon Dynamite

It's late 2022 and this is still the best badass vehicle Batman has ever driven

I just love the beastly sound it makes. Thing's got a growl that'll make your teeth shake.

The Tumbler/Batmobile is along with the Batwing one of the best things in design of The Dark Knight trilogy. It just steals the show whenever it appears in a scene! I was so happy to discover the Batmobile in Arkahm Knight seems to be almost entirely based on Nolan's Tumbler. In the game you can drive around struggling to control that beast and it cuts through most everything in the city like butter! Lol!

2019 m still watching it.. goosebumps and high Adrenaline everytime whenever I watch piece of Nolans batman trilogy and Hans Zimmers best soundtrack..this makes me go to the gym..

0:30 That looked like grilled chicken 😂

I love these movies because everything that happens in them has a reason. They weren't like "Oh he's a billionaire so he must have a crazy car somehow..." They actually showed a milliary wehicle and painted it black. To me that sounds like a most likely way someone could get something like a batmobile.

There have been so many attempts to copy this Batmobile over the years since 2005, but they all just end up looking like shapeless heaps of metal, whereas the Tumbler has so much personality and manages to look like a compelling living creature while still seeming totally realistic as a military vehicle.

Christopher Nolan's Batman Trilogy is the best! I wish he comes back to redirect other Batman Projects

best batmam mobile ever

This is what happens when you hate VFX. Chris is a living legend.

If someone made a copy of the tumbler with real armor plating that would be something to see

Shout out to those engineers. They did a phenomenal job.

The outro is what cringe is made of.

We lived through the best of entertainment, it’s over now. Just Fallout.

The jump was real? WTF

This is how you make a movie legend total dedication to your craft to every detail

And thus came the Lamborghini Urus

3:11 they actually made it open like that? That so fucking cool

The best Batmobile ever made

It’s the real Bat-Mobile. Next time you making a Star Wars, make a functional lightsaber or X-wing, imagine that.

Bloody marvellous how all this work goes into a film, most people simply just don’t realise!

Gordon is right " I gotta get me one of those"

The best Batmobile! LOVE THE TUMBLER!

You can tell they drew inspiration from the Countach---the general shape and those rear intakes.

Love that Christopher Nolan is so much into this himself 😃

nolan by far is the best director for me. i loved almost every movie of him. i wish if he had done the justice league.

One of my favorite versions of the Batmobile. "I gotta get me one of those”.

8:01 STARTLED MORGAN FREEMAN VOICE

The only true batmobile. (Its my childhood)

Things like this makes the Batman trilogy truly amazing, the efforts these guys put in is on a different level. Well done Chris.

Every big little facts about this trilogy make me fall in love with this man once more

This is pretty cool.. love to see a military version of the car.

I don't care for the Tumbler as a batmobile design. But I still love it as a one man tank attack vehicle. I always thought it belonged in Halo as a UNSC vehicle.

That's the kind of car I would drive it's big and looks cozy and safe 🙈

When I first saw it in BB I wasn't sure it would work. Looked nothing like "batmobiles" of the past. But you accept it the more you see it. Became "cool". The Nolan Dark Knight series were THE BEST superhero films to date (next to the Christopher Reeve Superman...first one). A shame Nolan doesn't believe in Dolby Atmos or DTS X. So on the 4k Blurays you get 4k video...with "standard bluray" audio :P I would have bought all 3 movies again in 4k.

Amizig it is that all the batmobile stunts were real except its self destruction

So the Tumbler's jump was inspired by Knight Rider's Turbo Boost? I can buy that.

I am japanese high school sutdent. we have english lessons at shool. so I can speak a little. I love batman. l love dark knight. darkknight is the most exciting move of my life! by the way.... Is my english right?

It's incredible that the finished product looked even better than the photoshop concept they presented.

Really like they trying to make Batman features based more on reality .otherwise it would just be nerdy

*Nolan Directing Dunkirk* I didnt want to use CGI, so we got in contact and here are some terminal patients who volunteered to blow themselves up.

I love batman begins.. And the whole trilogy movies ... I m die hard fan of batman.... Fan of Christian bale too...i m from india... I have been watched the dark knight trilogy more than 6 times... Each movie 6 times... I love and i m following the principles which is delivered in the movie as some words... Thank you...

6:04 lmao that's my physics professor

Strange, the most epic thing was that test footage of the Tumbler trying to squeeze between two vehicles.... and accidentally knocking one of them up the wall!!!

I suppose it's an urban legend but I read somewhere that, without the weapons, the Tumbler would be a perfectly legal car to drive in public roads. I assume that it would also require to remove the jet and it's capability of jumping but it wouldn't surprise me if it was, indeed, legal to drive.

a tank and sports car mashup. nolan and arkham knight batmobile is top notch combat monster

It obviously takes inspiration from frank miller's the dark knight returns aesthetic batmobile

Amazing

The Tumbler gets so much hate. This is My Batmobile.

Best batmobile right here.

Damn cool Batman ride!!! Best batmobil ever

I love the Tumbler, what a gorgeous beast!

Breaking News: Nolan tapped to direct Star Wars remake. Breaking Breaking News: Nolan is building life size functioning Death Star

Oh wow.. what an awkward ending, lady at the end caught me of guard!

Still the best, and with that suped up LSX engine it's perfect

I’m gonna watch them again

Everything in this car and in design was perfect..

The Best right now!🤝

As we all know, Mr. Nolan likes realistic filming. Therefore, he must have been near Saturn to film the worm hole for Interstellar.

Shows how obsolete cop cars are. Petition to have tumblers in every PD

This is the only Bat mobile I think would actually make sense in the real world I guess it would be powered by 4 in wheel electrical motors and the Turbine could generate electricity for either supercapacitors or a new revolutionary technology of solid state batteries So it would be a hybrid of sorts.

The most amazing bat mobile till date ….total badass

Where can I buy one?

yeah that's sick, works a fookin treat

incredible

IMAGINE CHRISTOPHER NOLAN DIRECTING MARVEL AVENGERS. 🤩🔥

Can you imagine if Chris directed a Star Wars movie.

I want it.

My favourite vehicle of all time.

Beautiful

I love this car its awesome

This car can really jump?

favorite dc character batman. movie bvs

Best Trilogy Ever

I still love the original BATMOBILE cuz its the original one.

本当にカッコいい車！

Movies nowadays: fancy CGI Nolan movies: NO

What most of the fans miss when comparing DC's movies with Marvel is that a) practical effects don't make up for bad stories and b) just because you get to do your spin on the character doesn't mean you can violate the sacred things he/she is known for in the comics. Here using practical working props and vehicles was impressive, because it lent itself to that realistic feeling of how Batman might be if he's real. This Batman might be Nolan's spin, but that spin bled into the comics because this version of Batman was phenomenal. He not only embodied the core values of his comic book counterpart but enhanced them, made Batman's character more legendary. I respect this trilogy immensely for bringing back Batman to the movies for the badass he is. Making the Batcave and other things practical doesn't mean that BvS is an automatic success. You need character development, plot pacing, plot sense, motivations that can be understood and finally, get the same idea and summary of the source material. Marvel may be 90-100% CGI, but DCEU's spin on DC comics' characters are not good. No DC movie since TDKR has moved me immensely like the way Infinity War and Endgame did. It may have been CGI, but the acting and character writing was phenomenal, like in this trilogy. So roast me all you want. I am a hardcore DC fan, but I have to agree that the MCU has made characters most people don't know about till 2008 into household names.

かっこいいなぁ〜

Since The Dark Knight is my favorite Batman, then Tumbler is the best bat mobile

thought it'd be straight from the army

Master Nolan, you made Batman great again!!

Just one drive around the block. Please.

1989, Tumbler and BvS mobile ❤️

me encanta batman y como combate el crimen en su ciudad gotica

Jack sparrow - I want one of those. Me - I want one

Greatest batmobile ever, looks brutal,lethal and deadliest armor car with rocket booster gives the badass power. It's a demolisher and destroyer car.

I want one. In black with stealth mode
