Watch a deleted scene from The Batman featuring the Joker

The new guy can’t even be bothered to get color-matched body panels, let alone the red pinstriping:

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.

Plus, according to Adam West, it actually beat one of the most recent movie cars in a drag race.

While praising the charm and appeal of the iconic Batmobile, West recalled how well it did when pitted against a newer version on Jay Leno’s Garage . “It was funky and colorful, and the kids -– everybody seems to have loved that Batmobile, so do I,” the late actor said. “I recently raced in the Batmobile [against] the new tank-like Batmobile — and guess who won? The f***ing old Batmobile.”

1955 Lincoln Futura concept car. Such big plans back then.

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!
@smulder, I think Oz/Penguin was also modeled after Al Capone.

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.
