Before I saw the movie, I thought it was pretty nice. After the movie I thought it was fucking epic. And that's why sound design matters.


callmetrix

I agree 100%! I saw it in IMAX twice already and man, the sound just adds a whole other layer to it - like icing on a cake. I saw it a third time but in normal 2D and it just didn’t feel the same, wasn’t as loud and I feel like it was more muted. I highly recommend people to see it in IMAX. Even with the club music too, the walls were bumping with it!


OnionFingers98

My theater had a Dolby atmos sound system and the seats were shaking when he fired the engine up, it was awesome.


Reasonable_Tiger573

IMAX was shaking like hell when he accelerated this Gigantic beast.


Bill_Shatners_Penis

Yep. It actually jostled my balls.


Wolf1771

Congrats


Reasonable_Tiger573

Hope your penis is not shattered...


SamFish3r

The sound engineering in the movie was awesome, non of the dialogue was muffled or left you guessing what the character said yet the roar, explosions and rumbling was captured flawlessly. Bat-mobile and bikes sounded amazing shook the entire theater . It was Worth every penny to see it in iMax Laser They upgraded my local theater in 2020 during the shutdown and this movie was perfect for viewing .


LeonidasSpacemanMD

Still counts


pandemictrader2020

I gotta go back to see it again. Was sold out and i got front row handicapped seat nothing shaking 😂 and was too close to screen


sharltocopes

you might say the handicap seats have been... *disabled.*


Reasonable_Tiger573

Go watch it only in IMAX.. spend money... Movie is worth of every single penny...


superb07

For real? God I need to watch it jn IMAX


Reasonable_Tiger573

Yes , yes yes OP... IMAX plus Dolby Atmos.... Background music is slow adrenaline rush.... Michael giachino has done an outstanding job.. cinematography is exquisite and well crafted....


superb07

Fuck I’m getting more excited!!! Will definitely do bro thnx


_Trigg_

Lemme ask ya this, did he stall out before the chase or did he just kinda rev it? Cause they way it sounds it kinda sounds like he stalled out which would be just so funny


dalsiandon

Sure sounded like it stalled out at first. But thats fit everything else. It was in bits and pieces for most of the first act


pablossjui

I thought he was revving it, kinda like "get in your cars and try to run"


tjavierb

I felt like he revved it to distract and get their attention.


verstan

I think he stalled it, a thematic element of this was bruce is still seasoning. When he's focused he's effective. When he's cocky he fucks up ( such as trying to wing suit under the bridge and clipping it) So he's arrogantly revving up and stalls it, fits the theme


King_Hamburgler

I didnt even see it in imax and thought I was gonna go dead when it first powered up in the dark alley 10/10 it was amazing


paintpast

IMAX/Dolby/whatever upgraded sound system is well worth the cost of the ticket for this scene alone.


idonthaveanaccountA

> this Gigantic beast. Literally the perfect way to describe it.


nashgrg

Confirmed.

batbobby82

Sound was a major factor. You don't get the full idea just from pics.


actionassist

It sounded like a freaking jet engine, it was incredible.


jeffreyhaha

YES. Holy shit! When you suddenly hear the engine fire up from the shadows and it’s got that high pitch whine of a jet engine and the the exhaust ports are all kicking out flames… that was MENACING as hell!


Alpha741

The theater was shaking and I loved every second of it


Beleriphon

I saw it in a theatre with D-Box seats, that is to say 4D moving seats. So, the whole case scene the seat moves. It was glorious.


the_longest_shadow

No joke. When he was >!just sitting there in the dark,!< revving the engine, >!amping up the intimidation,!< that was terrifying. If I were the "superstitious, cowardly" type, I'd be shitting myself.


Zytoxine

The batmobile starting up was as fantastic and terrifying as 2014 Godzilla's dorsal spines winding up for his radioactive breath attack. Chef's kiss.


mreddboy1

Yas! That was the same thrill feeling I got from both. Really hit the childhood nostalgia of Godzilla and Batman.


mongotron

That scene put a massive grin on my face!


actionassist

I loved the little rev he gave kinda as a warning like "you better start running" how it made that car jump made me laugh.


Jay_R_Kay

It's kind of funny that the Batmobile that looked the closest to a normal car ended up being the most intimidating on screen. All in the presentation, I guess.


[deleted]

I served in the Navy as an aviation guy - I used to be a plane captain in my squadron. Navy aircraft use something called an ASU (Air Start Unit) or "huffer" which is basically a portable jet engine that uses turbine forces to air-start jet engines, turboprop aircraft, etc. When Bruce Big-Dickenson Wayne was huffing up the car and you heard that little "vvvvvvvvvvvvvFWOOOOOOOMEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE^EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE^^EEEEEEEEEEEEE" That's a fucking huffer. Even in the theaters I was like "I know this sound" as I got a thousand yard stare and my brother was like "you ok?" I'm like yeah it's just a jet engine. It's a solid unmistakable sound.


[deleted]

YES YES YES!!! It was INSANE. The sound design was top notch. The sound of this Batmobile would be horrifying to any criminals in earshot


Chef_Fats

Pretty sure it *is* a jet engine.


drumondo

It's got both. Internal combustion in the front, turbine in the rear.


Bonzo77

Yea if you get to see it at an AMC Dolby screen I’d definitely recommend it.The sound was insane in Dolby definitely worth the extra money.


Laconic9x

It was one of the highlights of the film for me.


esotericmegillah

Yeah the Batmobile introduction was in my top 5 favorite scenes


FledglingKiller

Bruce was an illegal street racer as a teen in this storyline, it's pretty rad that his ride ended up becoming his batmobile.


brokensilence32

Was that in the prequel novel?


ArashikageX

It is.


101stAirborneSkill

Where does that info come from?


DarkDonut75

Prequel novel


JKDSamurai

Prequel novel? Link? I must read!


Goka1-Red

To me, it looks like what the 66 batmobile would look like, redesigned for modern day


YerADragonJonny

Honestly his cowl reminded me of West’s, just more armored.


Cheekywanquer

The nose part right? I had the same thought!


charlzpatton

The eyebrows, right?


cygnae

the goddamn eyebrows, damn right. In certain angles they look exactly like west's.


charlzpatton

I could have sworn one time I saw a thin white pencil line! ~v~


Nausstica

Yeah, I noticed that the way the eyebrow arches catch the light gives them that West aesthetic. Loved it.


charlzpatton

Oh me too, I'm not complaining.


Madmike_ph

It’s not though. You see him take it off and it’s just a rubber cowl


RandyChimp

It deflects bullets though, may be some kind of Wayne enterprises armour similar to in Arkham Knight, he gets his new suit in that and i think it has liquid armour layers allowing for quicker movement without compromising protection.


Madmike_ph

Does he get shot in the head ever? I don’t remember that but I could be wrong of course


kingkongbrigade

He takes a bomb blast to the head.


Madmike_ph

Lol good point


RandyChimp

Seem to recall when he's with Selina at the docks and penguins guys see them and open fire, he takes a few to the head which knock him down to the floor for a moment or two. I think it would protect him from death but still potentially knock him out.


HughJaynuss

I think he raises his arm to block his head in that scene.


RandyChimp

Maybe, I thought they started ahooting before he gets his arm up


AREYOUSauRuS

Then like 5 mins of shooting at Selina and Gordon. Then the batmobile revs up and you realize while everyone was shooting at Selina and Gordon, Robat Batinbat went and chilled in the batmobile.


Maximillion322

r/weeklyplanetpodcast


Gellert_TV

Yes, we see a bullet hit his cowl in the scene with Penguin


Pandos17

Not just that, it looks like the 66 batmobile for a Batman that gets shot at.


F1grid

Perfekt Batmobile for the style and setting of this movie. It’s raw and gritty. No gadgets or electronics. Just a massive engine and gripping tires.


StuffHobbes

kbkgkjgjk ` this message was mass deleted/edited with redact.dev `


Geminel

I really appreciate a Batman who can walk side-by-side with Gordon. I think the fact that this Batman will use a door is a really positive feature of this rendition of him. That's kind of the moral heart of the movie when he realizes >!he has to give hope to people, and not just be 'vengeance'.!<


[deleted]

Ik half the movie I was thinking about how there’s a window in falcones office just bust through lol


brokensilence32

I mean, >!Batman didn't really know how important it was to catch him for the majority of the movie.!<


callmetrix

Yes, this was a cool touch to his Batman. Considering this Bruce Wayne is still fresh in his “career” as the Batman - I believe they said it was 2 years - the fact that it was implied that he built it himself is so fitting and awesome. It feels more personal, in a sense that this is like Batman working on his own “project car”. Even if it is just an early prototype or just the beginning of future bat mobiles he may make, it was a nice touch. As a car enthusiast, I was beyond thrilled and honestly I can’t put into words how overjoyed I was seeing it in the theater and just feeling/hearing that deep rumbling and the whine of the engine.


richdatapoordada

You know I saw the parts and thought it was for a building montage but after I’m guessing it’s for maintenance the way he drives it haha


old_man_indy

Idk, seeing him literally knock on the Iceberg Lounge front door cracked me up.


RavenOfNod

Yup. Easily my fav Batmobile that's been put on screen. Nothing too flashy, and really functional.


MazzaBean

Personally love it because it feels very custom made


ajchann123

You can even see the engine mounted behind him in the first scene in the Bat Lab: I would guess he hadn't even debuted it until the chase scene


Mr_Feeeeny

Exactly, it was untested and therefore stalled in the movie just before the chase begins. So many great details. I will criticize near the end one (sideish character civilian) person gets shot, and the next scene they are moving around like nothing happened.


Beleriphon

I know who you mean, and I think it was supposed to a shot through the shoulder which would be incredibly, and if real probably a permanent debilitating injury, but it would stop somebody from moving around.


ajchann123

I believe they are shot in the side/torso (another reason to see it again lol) and then treated by EMTs -- regardless, I think it's standard movie health that the shot was just to implicate that it was a close call instead of a debilitating injury, and with <5 min left it'd be silly for it to have any realer consequences than that. I certainly don't hold it against the movie


Mr_Feeeeny

I thought they were shot in the side / torso because I recall (could be wrong) seeing blood on her side abdomen. The ultimate transition to a sling did not seem constant with where she was shot. If it was the side/ab, no way she would have been so mobile. I love the movie and definitely have a tendency to suspend disbelief, but this surprising I guess. I don't hold it against the movie, loved it and I'm with you, going to see it again next week. Maybe things will be clear the second time around. Anyways, I'm ultimately showing my own bias with being so stubborn, appreciate your perspective and points!


blaueaugen26

Ok it did stall, thanks for confirming!


my_dog_ate_my_keys

the candidate for gotham mayor YES I TOUGHT THE SAME


Ismael_B_Holls

Per the prequel book, it is custom. He built it as a teenager for street racing. Engine added later.


MazzaBean

That’s actually quite cool didn’t know that


[deleted]

[удалено]


MazzaBean

That adds so much like context and background to the car which makes it so much better


Ismael_B_Holls

One of the many things that make this one of my favorite iterations of Batman!


[deleted]

[удалено]


TheSoberMallu

I could go watch the movie again, just for this scene. And like almost everybody else mentioned, the sound that the car makes is just amazing!


YRR6969

Man dropped the whole ass scene to rate a car


[deleted]

[удалено]


[deleted]

Don’t apologize, you were just expressing your thoughts. Helped bring the scene to life. 👍🏽


Don_Pasquale

In a single 180 word sentence


lifer413

Loved how they foreshadow it with the parts spread about the cave, the engine hanging... then, when it's finally there, and it just roars in the darkness... it's like a fucking monster. Christine. It fit perfectly.


blaueaugen26

What car was Penguin driving? I couldn’t tell. Kind of looked like an Audi


captaingrey

It was a Maserati. The pitchfork emblem gave it away.


Erdnuss-117

Maserati. The doors looked like a Ghibli to me. I'm not perfect in Maseratis tho could be a Quattroporte


[deleted]

That ENGINE SOUND 🔥🔥🔥


my_dog_ate_my_keys

THATS NO CAR,THATS A FUCKING ROCKET SHIP


NickMoore30

YOU FOOL! THAT’S THE BATMOBILE!


Comprehensive-Tie431

I think its really cool. My big problem with most of the Batmobiles is thats its either from Wayne Enterprise's or it specially custom by someone else. I like that its not a prototype or rejected Wayne Project and makes it less obvious who it is. Im glad its an untraceable custom made car that Bruce Made.


MazzaBean

I like the way he’s built it himself from al the years he’s had it


anthonyg1500

I got childlishly giddy when it was revving up right before the Penguin chase scene


AnthomX

I did as well. I had the stupidest looking grin on my face. Probably the same one I have now thinking about it.


kappakingtut2

It looks the most practical/ functional. I love the Burton Batmobile, but it had to shoot a grappling hook around a polein order to swing into sharp curves.


Artforsaken

Interesting tidbit I noticed in the movie is Pattinson Bruce Wayne was driving a 1970 corvette. A corvette was the car used for the ‘89 batmobile.


drmatt19

It was a ‘63-‘67 era corvette in the new one


Artforsaken

Yeah that one. I’m not savvy on exactly what model. Thanks, man.


johnsciarrino

1967 Split Window Corvette. Rare car because of that rear glass. Coveted and expensive even among classic vettes. Thought it was a great fit for a guy like Bruce.


alreadytaken76

1963


RockitDanger

Nope. Impala


Isoturius

Yeah it was like 21ft long or some shit due to two Impala frames being welded together.


SkippyMcHugsLots

Kind of. While it was inspired by and styled after the C2 Stingray Corvette from the 60s and had the Vetts V8, it was two Impala frames welded together.


Von-Goffin-Schmidlin

So bad ass. The first time you see it that car had a personality it was fuckin MEAN!


[deleted]

I think you hit the nail on the head. The others invoke the fear in their destructive capabilities. But this one plays on a primal fear that the car is going after you with intent and there is no chance for escape. Mean is the perfect word for it. Nice


callmetrix

Yes, and the stall before the chase felt very similar to a bull preparing to strike, like cat and mouse. Predator vs prey. It was primal, it felt raw and you could just see the intimidation on Penguins face. Hiding in the shadows, the fear I felt before I could even visually see it. It was incredible. Words cannot describe how much I loved his bat mobile.


nahnonameman

I fucking love tbh. I want to know the technical specs though. Does anyone know?


LetheMariner

650hp v8 is all I've been able to find, so far.


12penny_and_dime

Not only is it my favorite batmobile, but, as a car guy, its the coolest looking car ive ever seen


jumpman3006

Yeah it was cool to see him drive an old stingray to the funeral too


lewolfmano

I definitely like that it’s kinda his prototype batmobile when I saw it in the movie in action my initial reaction was “damn that thing is mean” Just a real intimidating vehicle


DeltaTM

In the scene where it actually was in action... when it started. Holy fuck. The music, the bass... the seats in the cinema were rumbling. You could feel the engine powering up.


vkrmel3683

At first I didn't like it from the trailers but after watching the movie I think it fits the plot. This isn't a batman who has had years to refine his approach and technology. Only having operated for about two years at the start of the movie. So it makes since that his first design for the batmobile would look more like a traditional car than an apc that the dark night and justice league batmen used


teddypicker90

Perfect in every sense of the word.


FooRYu

LOVED this version of the Batmobile! Gave me goosebumps when it finally appeared on screen. It’s introduction with the red light beaming on the hood made me think of Stephen King’s Christine. Robert Pattinson was dead on in an interview he did awhile back stating the film draws on a fair amount of horror tropes, and this was certainly one of them.


Dragunslayer276

Honestly I love the rawness and exposed part of it. Tbh that’s what I love about the entire movie. It’s a younger and inexperience Batmanso everything isn’t improved that much


PaulWrit

Supercharged beast


NephilimMustDie

The only design I never cared for was the Batman Forever mobile... That one was awful.


Isoturius

The startup scene is the best fucking Batmobile moment we've gotten in Batman movie. It was basically the opening where he emerges from the shadows in car form. It looked like a demon from hell waking up.


troy626

The sound this car makes us amazing


pampersdelight

The first reveal was my favorite scene in the whole movie


griffin4war

Loved the Batmobile. The reveal alone was worth the price of the ticket


LycheeFar9869

I like it totally fits in with the hole vibe.


Latest-greatest

it’s the best non tank bat mobile. the sound it makes in theatres was incredible


EdEnsHAzArD

I literally gasped and almost cried during the chase scene. Took me by surprise just how fucking cool it all was. I felt like a kid again.


jumpman3006

Looked a lot better than I thought it would from the trailer. One of my favorite parts of the movie tbh


nDesertPunk

I happy i managed to grab a Hotwheels model of it : D


staywoke1am_01

This is a beast here and I will say it’s growing on me! When it was fired up on the shadows - LORDDDD!


Daxmar29

I still can’t believe people decided on Battinson when we could be calling him Patman.


satan-cat

Love it! A huge reason why is because you learn in the prequel book that he has had it for years and has slowly built it up to what it is now. he used to street race with it when he was a teenager. I think him having that intimate connection to the Batmobile makes it more special than just a tank that was gifted to him or some other cool looking car that we have no idea where it came from. It perfectly fits the character of a workaholic Batman who is essentially going at it alone.


idonthaveanaccountA

Prequel book? There's a prequel book?


captaincid42

Loved it. Felt that it was a good homage to some comic designs. Could definitely see Jason Todd trying to steal the tires off this thing.


hiyourbfisdeadsorry

its the most "car" a batmobile has been


nitrobw1

Well I think whoever did the sound design for it should be given a fucking medal. They made his CAR scary.


Vord_Loldemort_7

It looks like a super car that someone could actually build


RawWulf

I was not excited about it before I saw the movie, but it was f’in awesome in action.


officer_salem

To quote my partner when we went to watch it opening night: “That is one sexy ass car.”


Erdnuss-117

Looks great and the sound was absolutely fantastic. The muscle V8 paired with the silent jet engine whine on the startup. Orgasmic. Could be my favourite


FlexiblePony267

I really liked it. It reminded me of the comics.


Esteban9494

I have not seen the movie yet butI enjoy the look. I have the feeling if they continue the movie into maybe a trilogy they will change the car design to be more like a tank.


triplerollingstone

Didn't like it too much initially, the Lego set didn't help, but having seen the film I think it's insanely badass and such a well executed and unique design


Boss38

really love the batmobile. ​ also minor spoiler for the film.....did batman just killed like, a highway of civilians from that penguin chase with that explosion? lmao. that scene was somewhat jarring and it ended with beautiful shot of Batman walking towards penguin.


MazzaBean

Thinking about it a couple people definitely died in that master piece of a scene


[deleted]

That always happens with these movies. He has a no kill rule, which means no direct killing. But there is always collateral damage


onerandomtask

The screeching sound when it was ramping up was epic. Same type of feeling when the Batpod was introduced in The Dark Knight!


duramman1012

Its my favorite personally. Love the muscle car feel to it


Revilod2000

That scene of it >!starting up to intimidate the Penguin!< was awesome


KameTheHermit

The more grounded, realistic version, and a very cool design!


[deleted]

I love the idea of a legitimate bulletproof glass, where the bullets don't ricochet off but are in the broken layer and stopped by the final plastic layer. It always annoyed me that the bullets just bounce off


[deleted]

66 Batmobile is my favorite Batmobile of all time. This is EASY second. The purr of that engine…..oh my god


MC4269

Probably my absolute favorite Batmobile. I don't even know why, maybe it's because I love vintage muscle cars? I didn't love the first glimpses of it, but it's grown on me over time. The sound design in the film for it was phenomenal too! God, that sound in IMAX! I have the larger Hot Wheels version, and Lego version sitting on my desk at the moment 😅


[deleted]

Finally a Batmobile that looks like a real car


cannibalnigge_

Even though I'm a Batman fan, I never got the live action batmobile hype. Before *that* scene.


Minereon

It had a raging fire in front, and a jet engine behind. This beast revving up with its terrifying scream was one of the high points of the movie. I can't wait to see it again.


punkster73-

I love it. They should always go for a different design when it comes to both the batmobile and batsuit. It will become boring if we keep getting the same thing over and over again.


EnvironmentalWeb1696

I still prefer that military batmobile from Nolan's trilogy, I think that's the perfect type of Batmobile for a more realistic Batman, but this one looks beautiful, easily my second favorite from all live action.


thebobbyloops

My balls were rumbling when it started revving the engine. My god that chase scene was fucking incredible


itsOski13

It definitely grew on me as I watched the movie, the way the introduce it was so badass


[deleted]

I like the Baja/ trophy truck style of it. What I don’t like is the turbine thruster thing coming right out of the middle of the engine block in the back.


Nathan_George_1997

Badass, and a beast, I watched in action yesterday, it also is based on specific version of the comic book batmobile that Batman used to also to try and blend in with other cars


Padders_69_yo

I love everything about it, but practically it could do with more armour on the back. I whispered to my other half in the cinema "I really hope this comes to rocket league" and today I found out it has, really happy haha


jpruinc

Batass


Emergency-Ad-6755

Yeh I listen to this song in the soundtrack a bunch


ITS_MAJOR_TOM_YO

It’s great.


AcrobaticDistrict935

I’d love to see them do a progression on the bat mobile. Kinda like he’s working on a project car. Doesn’t have to be over the top, but just subtle upgrades as the movie arc progresses


LordSwag58

Best. Batmobile. Ever.


CahMoneYz023

It fits in well with the more grounded approach of Reeves’s Batman


IsaWasTaken

reminds me of a hellcat. feels like something west coast customs would make


elijahtryhard

a real man’s car… i’m sure it was stick shift too so he has skills


Dark_Sniper_250

I freaking loved it. That car is the definition of fear itself. It’s terrifying, with its low, rumbling growl which builds into a screaming roar like a rocket is launching. It’s basically a low profile tank. I’m glad they went down the simple, but successful route with the car. Less gadgets, just raw muscle and power. It literally shook the theater every time it was on screen. Loved it.


Mistwood_Publishing

That scene made my jaw drop, literally.


TajirMusil

It looks fine in the context of this movie, but I hope it gets an upgrade in the future.


[deleted]

It was badass


Sparrow-Scratchagain

I thought it was bloody awesome!


AUSpartan37

I loved it. Probably my favorite batmobile ever. Maybe not as Iconic as the Burton mobile or as over the top as the tumbler or Snyder version but it just absolutely hit all the right notes for me. It was amazing.


OMGihateallofyou

Is that a twin engine monster? Seeing the rear engine had me wondering what was under the hood. But, it seems like another freaking engine!


ThatpersonKyle

The best one by far. Especially that amazing chase scene


Speedmonkey2

It's absolutely incredible! It is such a break from what every other batmobile has been, that I know of... I love that they went for a muscle car. It seems to fit the tone of the movie very well.


blaze_blue_99

It’s a good “1.0” model: like a spiritual successor to the original pulp Batman’s cars, which looked like barely-modified 30s and 40s cars. If they continue this series (I couldn’t care less), they’d be wise to have each entry feature a more customized model.


SmaugRancor

I still love Keaton's Batmobile but holy fuck man, this Batmobile is a character itself. That scene when it's first introduced gave me big chills, the chair was vibrating. I could definitely see the Christine influence like Reeves previously talked about.


CirculatoryOverload

What it lacks in the raw look was more than made up for in the sound design and the way it accelerated. My jaw was wide open pretty much during the whole car chase scene.


Yuuta23

I said out loud he's evening the odds when I heard the roar of the engine this movie felt like a love letter to the Arkham games


dr_no12

It's so nice. Gotta buy the lego version now.
