It really was a matter of time wasn't it? The new issue of Detective Comics has just revealed that the Bat-Mobile as seen in the Nolan film series has officially joined the comic book universe! The vehicle which was created for Christopher Nolan's original Batman film, Batman Begins he vehicle was originally meant to resemble a more comic book look, but Nolan decided to make it into more a "tank" than a car. The Tumbler has since become an iconic vehicle on film and will now become a memorable vehicle in the comics as well!

The Tumbler was a military vehicle designed by Lucius Fox and Wayne Enterprises, originally conceived as a bridging tool. It was an all-terrain vehicle that could launch into a rampless jump to get across rivers or other impassable territory, then it would implement a bridging system that would allow others to cross. The bridging system was never made functional, and so the Tumbler prototype lay unused in the R&D department of Wayne Enterprises.




Is this a sign of the future of the Batman film series? Will Batman be rebooted or will DC find a way to continue the Nolan series in the Man Of Steel universe? Comment below and let me know!



The superhuman transformation of Ignatius Ogilvy is just the tip of the iceberg when an extremely unexpected character comes to The Penguin’s aid! And in the backup story, Emperor Penguin makes a trip to Blackgate Prison he won’t soon forget!

Where's the people that said that only Marvel does stuff like this?

Don't see what's wrong with taking things from the comic book movies and putting them in the comics for both Marvel and DC. All the batmobiles in every single movie has made an appearance in the comics.

The only thing Marvel did that was just a blatant change due to the movies was the whole Nick Fury status quo change. So all of a sudden white Nick Fury has a black son and gets his eye injured and wears an eye patch just like his father. Battle Scars was a good read but was pretty damn obvious.

I love the way the car did all its own stunts in the movie but the one thing it needs in the books is some signature Batman customizations to make it look like a Batman vehicle

This is a case of the comics taking a very minor element of the movies and just implement them in the comics. I've seen the Wayne Enterprises logo in Red Hood's jet in the latest issue.

What Marvel does is blatantly rape their own continuity and butcher their own source material to cater to people who've never heard of these characters and only watched movies, screwing over their own fans in the process.

I like it joining the comic verse. I just hope "Jenny Olsen" won't make her way to the pages. That's the only aspect of MOS I don't like. I was really looking forward to modernized Jimmy.

What a disappointing end to a very interesting arc: Emperor Penguin.

Do you idiots read comics or just skim through them? This isn't the first time a bar mobile from one of the live action shows or movies had been drawn into the comic. It's not a big deal just a nod to the different mediums and iterations and just so you know this isn't the first time the Tumbler has been drawn in a batman comic.

@Getsuga At least Marvel has one, instead of rebooting the entire universe. Just had to put that out here.

IM cool with them putting the tumblr in this. it was awesome but marvel are dying out fast if they dont start pulling out new ideas.

seriously "HEY LETS TAKE OUT THE CHITARI FROM THE ULTIMATE UNIVERSE PUT IT IN OUR MOVIE AND THE COPY THE MOVIE TO THE MAINSTREAM COMICS" biggest fail ever. not to mention they copied the iron patriot into the continuity from iron man 3. this is why i have given up on marvel.

its not like dc have copied everything from nolans universe.

and let me clarify this.

im cool with incorporating ideas into the comics but marvel has gone one step to far. soo im oficially a dc guy now.

TonyChu@ They've brought a lot more MCU elements into the comics than just that, dude.
I'm with GetsugaTensho and laughterman26. 616 had The Skrulls, the Ultimate universe version of them was the Chitauri (there were also the Ultimate Skrulls from another dimension in Ultimate Team-Up which were more like the 616 Skrulls and a futuristic sect of the Chitauri that were also more like Skrulls), then the MCU version were called Chitauri and were a cross-breed of Skrulls and Kree. Then this version are introduced in 616?! That's just pandering to the MCU market with no respect for the hardcore die-hard 616 fans who know that their Skrulls are the originals.

Also, The Tumbler was first brought into the comics in Paul Dini and Dustin Nguyen's final Detective Comics arc, "Heart of Hush". As for The New 52, there was a Nolanverse batarang in I, Vampire. Just saying.

Rachel was already in the comics, she's an amalgamation of all the damsels Bruce nails, but Rachel in particular is the Reaper's daughter in Year Two, the same story Joe Chill gets shot in front of Bruce.

That's what the Nolan trilogy is good for. Not entirely true to the comics, but there are SO many winks and nods, even in TDKR, that from a comic reader's perspective, it's undeniably pleasing. Now the execution, that is what everybody gets into an uproar about.

lol @marvel72 has a point there

I don'nt see anything wrong with CBM's influencing comics or vice versa
