To be fair, Batmobiles are all now required to ram through any goddamn thing in their way. Unless Bat-paint makes it into the Batman mythos, paint and pinstriping would be a waste of Bat-time and Bat-money.
When the conceit of over-styling gets in the way of the story.
The old car had so much style that everyone got out of its way out of respect.

Okay folks, I went to see The Batman with a friend today (unfortunately without subtitles) in Tijuana.
There is a reason for the Riddler outfit looking rather generic which you will find out when you watch.
I thought it was a pretty good Penguin “look” this time around. I didn’t even know it was Colin Farrell!

Personally, I think the car was interesting. Fewer bells and whistles, but it appeared to be built pretty sturdy. Much of the look of the film is very “stripped-down” and lean, and it seems to go with the theme.
