Zack Snyder Teases New Batmobile
By Steve Lam
Zack Snyder, the director of Batman vs. Superman, served up a nice appetizer to hungry fans today. On his Twitter account, he wrote: “Could be time to pull the tarp…Tomorrow?” And included this image:
Let’s analyze this awesomeness. Though most of the Batmobile is covered by a tarp that so wants to be ripped off, we can tell that the shape of it harkens back to Tim Burton’s Batman (1989) and Batman Returns (1992).
The large beefy wheels also suggest a look that’s similar to the Batman: Arkham Knight video game that’s set to be released on October 14, 2014.
I’m ecstatic! The initial shape and exposed mechanical features really point to an aggressive Batman that will pose a big challenge to Henry Cavill’s Big Blue. The flame exhaust outlet might be a bit too modest for my taste, but I’m going to hold my overall judgement until tomorrow. What if Zack forgets? What if he’s too busy directing and forgets to update his Twitter feed? I can’t wait for tomorrow! Have you ever heard of instant gratification Zack? I know you’re trying to make fans happy, but at this point, you’re just being plain sadistic. Oh and Zack, while you’re at it, post the new costumes for Superman, Batman, and Wonder Woman. That’s not too much to ask is it?
