Movie Cars: Epic Batmobile built for new Batman Dark Knight Rises green?
The Bat mobile. The Batmobile is a movie car with its design rooted in the imagination of 5-year-old boys around the world. It is the quintessential ultimate ride — a custom vehicle of epic proportions only a superhero really should drive. The history of the Batmobile is a long one, with roots in the comic book series but real life working wheels on pavement where Batman movies and television shows have been filmed. Years after Batman formally retired, mild-mannered white-collar character Bruce Wayne resurrected his Batman persona when a criminal gang called the Mutants threatened fictional Gotham City back. In that moment of creative genius, writers developed one of the most popular cult classic movie series — and the “alternate” Batman storylines that featured the original Batmobile revamped became part of American pop culture forever as part myth, part cheese, and part urban legend.
