When ‘The Batman‘ was released back in March, most people were expecting a game to go along with the movie, but that has not yet come to fruition. Thanks to TeaserPlay, we get a look at what an open world game would look like on next-generation systems powered by Unreal Engine 5.
Think of the Rodin FZERO as a real-life Batmobile designed for the track, powered by a twin-turbocharged 4.0L V10 engine, coupled with an electric power unit, generating a combined 1176 hp and 757 lb-ft of torque, mated to an 8-speed gearbox. It weighs a mere 1,538-pounds (698-kilograms), giving it a power-to-weight ratio of 1.662 (PS/kg).
The Hot Wheels 1:64 Scale R/C ‘The Batman’ Batmobile can be recharged via USB, and it’s being offered for just $11.49, today only, originally $22.99.

The all-electric McMurtry Spéirling fan car, driven by ex-Formula 1 racer Max Chilton, has officially set a new Goodwood Festival of Speed Hillclimb record with a run of 39.08-seconds. This beats out Romain Dumas’ 39.9-second run in the Volkswagen ID.R back during the 2019 Shootout. The electric motors are connected to a 60 kWh battery pack and produce a combined 1,000 horsepower.
Matt Reeves’ “The Batman” is a certified blockbuster and will be hard to top in 2022, that is until Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness is released. However, there are still some fans who believe Robert Pattinson was not the right choice to play Bruce Wayne / Batman, but what if Adam West played the character in his prime? Visual effects masters Corridor Digital shows us just that.
A near movie-perfect replica of the Batmobile from Tim Burton’s 1989 “Batman” movie could be yours, and most won’t be able to tell that it is built on top of a 1965 Ford Mustang chassis. This vehicle was originally a part of the collection held by the now defunct London Motor Museum. Not many other details are known other than that it’s RHD and powered by a 5.7L Chevy V8 engine that purportedly makes 380bhp.

Tim Burton’s “Batman” movie, released on June 23, 1989 in the United States, featured one of the most famous Batmobiles ever. It was designed by conceptual illustrator Julian Caldow, while Keith Short sculpted the final body of the 1989 Batmobile, including the two Browning machine guns. One fan went as far as creating a stunning replica of this movie vehicle using a 1976 Cadillac Eldorado.
Hacksmith Industries is back at it again, and their latest project is a fully-functional Bat Signal that fits in the bed of a pickup truck. This project wasn’t as easy as you may think, since light from a normal spotlight can’t just project an image into the sky. That’s right, if you simply attempt to adhere a Bat symbol onto the glass or plastic of a spotlight, it will not project because it’s missing the lens to do so.
“The Batman” director Matt Reeves gives us a preview of what the sequel to his DC blockbuster may hold with a deleted scene showing Robert Pattinson’s character meeting with Barry Keoghan’s Joker to help uncover the identity of the Paul Dano’s Riddler. Initially, Reeves wanted fans to solve three riddles before being able to watch the scene, but the unlisted video was quickly circulated throughout social media. Read more to watch the scene.
With “The Batman” setting a new weekend box office record for 2022 with a $128.5-million USD opening, it’s no surprise that some are looking to either build or acquire their own Batmobile. Over the past few years, one of these custom-built vehicles has really stood out, and it’s engineer Casey Putsch’s jet-powered Batmobile. Simply put, he started with a shell before finding a stretched C4-generation Corvette to use as the frame.
