This was one of the best experiences I had in the cinema. The entire theater room was vibrating because of the batmobile no matter how many times I watch this movie, I'm never gonna get that same feeling back of being afraid of a car.
A detail that I love about this scene: EVERYONE reacts when the Batmobile starts up. The Penguin isn't the only one afraid here. They are all getting a little reminder that Batman isn't one of them, he's something else entirely.
I love the little moments in Colin Farrell’s performance like 2:02 and when he nervously laughs calling Batman crazy. It’s like the penguin can’t help but respect Batman’s relentlessness but he’s also scared shitless. I don’t think I’ve seen many interpretations where the villains are so thoroughly freaked out or blindsided by Batman.
You just blew my mind, did not know that was Colin. Many people don't like this movie. I think it was good. When the car started, they turned the volume up to 11, and the whine from the turbine just jumping around the surround gave me mad chills. Best batmobile introduction ever. I just wish they did not go for a PG rating. They where going for a darker Batman, then give us the rating it deserves, show us the angry, scary and violent Bat!...
Truly. I mean I would be shitting bricks as well. Normally in the criminal world the scariest thing is someone who is trying to kill you. Imagine how scary someone who *isn't* trying to kill you needs to be to make you feel fear?
@@whitemamba061the music during that part was great as well, it’s the same thing you hear in horror movies when the slasher comes back after everyone thinks they are dead
I love how monstrous the Batmobile sounds here - it sounds like a monster that has just been woken from a slumber and is growling away in the dark. The fact that this Batmobile is more intimidating as a regular car that the Nolan/Snyder/Arkham versions, which were literal tanks, speaks volumes. This film does a great job of showing why criminals are terrified of Batman, something which I felt the Nolan trilogy (as great as it was) lacked.
First time I heard this Batmobile I called that sound the screech of the banshee. It is every bit of pain and hatred that Bruce feels pulled out of his soul and made vocal for everyone to hear.
The Tumbler, Is an icon of itself. Definitely my favorite for many reasons. When it comes to intimidation factor, you are absolutely correct, I have never seen a more satisfying and yet horrifying batmobile.
When I watched this in the cinema, I was lucky enough to watch it in IMAX. I will NEVER forget that turbine and engine sound, the whole room shook at the revs. That is why we need to preserve cinemas. An experience that will never be replicated
I can relate to that. I like to rewatch this scene at home with headphones just trying to replicate how amazing it was in the theater. It never comes close
Something I haven’t seen in the comments as much is how impressive the use of darkness is throughout the entire film. While some movies/shows struggle with portraying darkness effectively, this one excelled in utilizing it to create a compelling atmosphere (Literal darkness btw). Huge props to the crew of The Batman.
@@laimejannister5627what the hell are you talking about? This lighting is ten times better and didn’t waste a decade of buildup like game of thrones shitty lighting. Roger Deakins praised this cinematography for a reason
Biggest different, from what I can tell, is the lighting. The Batman is dark, but not black. The problem with shooting dark scenes these days is actually data compression algorithms from streaming; if nearby colors are too similar, then the colors get blended together. The darker the colors, the worse the compression. The Batman’s palette is more of a gloomy grey. Like when it’s overcast at night and the light pollution illuminates the clouds a little. There’s also little sources of light in each scene, like street lamps, windows, and traffic. Compare that to The Endless Night from Game of Thrones, where everything out of focus was almost pitch black. It was terrible.
Penguin: Hey, Vengeance! What is that? A B-2 Stealth Bomber? The Batman: It is. Penguin: How the hell did you get a military aircraft like that, huh? The Batman: I bought it.
If killer croc shows up in the 2nd movie it will be the batboat, but if it’s gonna be a problem that’s big that’s when the batwing is gonna come in to the movies
I was a fighter jet mechanic for six years. I can attest that the start up sounds for jet engines sound EXACTLY like the gorgeous machine in this video. When I saw this in theatres I had complete full body chills. 15\10 for authenticity.
@@hazardeur I left because it was the right time for me. It was an incredibly taxing job as nearly every single day I was in the elements. Rain. Sleet. Snow. Heat. Cold. Any kind of weather you can imagine, I worked in. Now I'm an ICU nurse.
Matt Reeves revealed he had this sound in his sound library and it was a 1 second sound clip of a little bottle rocket which then was slightly distorted and stretched.
Love how throughout this scene, the camera barely ever focuses of Batman, instead only showing the car. Makes it feel like the car itself is alive and is a horror villain on its own. And even when we do see Batman the camera is either super close up to his eyes, out of focus, or blurred by glass, fantastic way to make him feel even scarier and like a horror villain
It focuses on the Penguin more than the Batman. It makes it look like you are getting chased instead of chasing someone, which makes the Batman look menacing.
This startup scene is PURE Bat mobile POWER INTIMIDATION. "Fear is a tool." Perhaps one of the best car hunt scenes in cinematic history. Thanks for the 4K Clip!
You have to show the fear in the enemy before you show Batman, Nolan did it better in The Dark Knight tunnel scene when Batman detonates the EMP blacking out the tunnel, you can only hear the sonic boom of the bat bike as he zips by the cop car. The old cop tells the young cop "boy you are in for a show"
I love how this batmobile doesn’t have to look overly crazy like almost every batmobile ever has. It’s like someone took the original 1960’s batmobile, and made it SUPER intimidating.
@@kikisinozic7475Exactly like how an Early Batman should be. Improvising equipment, gear, and vehicles out of real stuff and being limited on resources. He might be rich, but his spendings would be recorded somewhere. If a wanted vigilante was pulling out billions of dollars worth of assets, it'd definitely narrow down the suspect list, and Bruce would be identified almost immediately.
Honestly, of all of the cinemstic versions of Batman, the startup of that car was the closest thing to actual terror that you could experience. The rumble if that engine as the turbine whines, and you can just tell Penguin is thinking 'what in the holy hell am I witnessing?'. He doesn't even stay to grab the money. He just splits. It was awesome to feel that in a theater.
0:34 The startup engine of the bat mobile sounds so monstrous and intimidating it really strikes fear to these criminals and that makes it 100 percent badass
I just love how the hood vents on the batmobile heat up slowly glowing more and more orange like it doesn’t have a engine…. no it runs off nothing but the fires of hell
I have one minor complaint about this film unrelated to the chase. It was raining the entire movie and they didn't bother giving Penguin the signature umbrella. Give the man an umbrella.
I love the old-school cyberpunk touch that they put on the Batmobile. It looks like a cool vehicle straight out of Akira. The small blue flames that emerge at the front give it a more intense eighties air.
And cyberpunk is what I thought of in that shot where the cafe, the one the riddler has run into after killing Falcone, is being circled by the police. It was the cafe's neon blue light that brought cyberpunk to my mind.
Collin Ferrell never gets enough credit for his acting, in my opinion. He played a Penguin that was original up to this point. Definitely an actor that deserves the fame.
I still think its funny that Hollywood apparently couldnt find a fat american to portray the penguin. When the U.S. needs to import fat people you know the end is near
Been alive and enjoying different Batmans for 50 years. That is by far the most badass intro to a Batmobile ever. I re-watch this clip just to geek-laugh my ass off.
Seeing this in theaters was a nexperience like no other. V8 felt like a V12 with the way it vibrated through my body. Film-making for this movie was generational and definitely set the bar high since it came out.
Seriously, considering the MCU turns almost everything into a joke and lighthearted, it’s refreshing to see a superhero movie that shamelessly takes itself seriously
Nah , the DC is just like at 1:00 ; good premises but bad execution... Honestly , all the revving up like crazy just to stop without any reason maked me laugh lile crazy ; what a shit 😂
The only person penguin scared of, and I came here to act like this is the scene where the Batman chases the penguin and beats him up for what hes done to Victor
abradolf lincler - true I’ve honestly never been a fan of Lucius Fox in the movies or comics.. having someone make something for Bruce instead him doing it himself - always didn’t sit right for me.
@@firstlast9846 it’s more realistic to have his stuff made by someone else who has put in the years of research to do so, Bruce being a master at everything is pretty far fetched, what at base he should be is a great detective and expert martial artist and have above average engineering skills but even with all these he would still need help as to not waste his time let’s say designing his grappling hook gun.
@@Justin-tt9cz I agree. Having Batman be a master at everything could make him feel like a Gary Stu. I think him having other people around him that help him behind the scenes is much more interesting. As cool as I think this Batmobile is and how it looks like a beefed up 70s muscle car, it’s clear that it’s kind of a hodgepodge and primitive. I hope they at least keep this Batmobile as a base and he keeps upgrading it over the course of the trilogy.
@@doodledangernoodle2517 much agreed, I do like it’s look, but I think as Bruce goes older he’s gonna be wanting to cruise in more than just the bare necessities 😂
In the film theater, I was grinning like a madman during this entire scene, the startup sounds were extremely powerful coming trough the film theater sound system and the entire chase is a masterpiece. To the entire cast and crew and production company, YOU ARE LEGENDS!
What I really love about this scene is that when they all turned their attention to the sound. They’ve never heard any vehicle made such a sound in their lifetime; so you could imagine what was going through their minds. That vehicle had the engine sound capacity of a thousand roaring lions in perfect unison. Especially the screech it made before the engine started roaring; almost like the sound of many banshees.
I saw this in a HUGE imax theater. When that engine revved… the theater SHOOK. I had goosebumps the entire chase. It was loud and proud. I was not sold on the batmobile at first but the closer and closer the movie came to release, I warmed up to it. This whole scene solidified how BADASS it was.
I think that comes to personal preference. To me The Batman is my favorite Batman film ever, followed by The Dark Knight. Both are truly amazing films and we can all agree that whichever we prefer the most is a great choice 👍🏻
I love how the bat mobile is portrayed in this movie. It’s not just a mode of transportation. It’s purely intimidation. Where the bat mobile is usually some sort of tank, this one is sleek and stealthy. So fitting for this Batman
My favourite scene in the movie, the car being in the dark with just the blue light from the turbine and exhaust, the high pitch screeching of the turbine, the intimidation factor of the whole thing
I’m surprised a lot of people aren’t talking about how Batman is challenging Penguin in this scene. As he revs up the engine you can see Penguin getting increasingly angry at the fact that Batman is flexing on him. It’s like getting a higher grade than the smartest kid in class that can’t handle being number 2(?) Also from a narrative standpoint the the roar of the Batmobile is louder ever time the camera focuses on penguin displaying his rage at the fact he’s being outdone.
@@crabbieappleton I guess you can see it either way. I don’t see the penguin abandoning THE MONEY cause he scared but rather because he wants to settle a score with our man Vengeance over here. But again, that’s just my interpretation. I see more anger in his face then fear in the beginning but it’s subjective
@@TheShifter1001 No, dude it's pretty clear he's afraid. He's frantically driving into on going traffic, shoots at the batmobile like a madman and speeds up each time he sees Batman coming closer. I don't blame him for being afraid either. Batman atp has proven that he's legitimately insane and is not a joke.
@@crabbieappleton scared is a strong word. I would say intimidated, as well as frustrated. Batman is a one man army, and although Penguin has his own army of goons, it seems like Batman always has a new trick up his sleeve. I think that pause he took while seeing the car rev up was him coming to terms that this is something new that he has never dealt with before. He was trying to wrap his mind around the fact that this bozo in a bat costume is becoming an actual problem.
Watching The Penguin I kinda forgot that the Penguin had been through this. People were doubting him even though he had survived The Batman and that makes him winning all the more satisfying. They underestimated him
My God, that first scene with the Batmobile being introduced had me leaping out of my seat. Easily one of the most kick-ass Batmobiles ever, and it'll be a long time before anything beats the Holy-Mother-of-God factor of its introduction.
This is one of the best scenes i've ever seen in an IMAX theater. The whole room shook, the chairs trembled with the sound of this beast of a car. Ash Thorp is GOAT.
They did this scene, among so many others in this film, so amazingly perfect. There’s such a clear understanding, especially of those beginning days, of Batman and this character and what he is in represents. This Batmobile starting up scene is like watching a demon coming out of the ground. A giant demonic wolf that’s eyes are fixated on you as they intensify , with appropriate sound too, and the coming lunge . Hats off to Colin as well to perfectly react to this kind of situation with the correct amount of superstitious projection onto this scene and onto this car. Through Collins eyes you see the correct response of a criminal that is projecting onto the vehicle or a superstitious supernatural fear. It’s just so perfect. Fucking love it
probably the first time the batmobile felt like it was a character not a prop in the movie, best introduction to an iconic vehicle, it really felt like it was a sleeping monster that was disturbed from its slumber
Arguably one of the, if not the best Batmobile in the Batman franchise. There's a sense of realism, not too out-of-this-world vehicle. I also like Nolan's Tumbler. Realistic but made by Wayne's company, not by himself. But here comes Reeve's garage-built monster. A believable car that Bruce Wayne can produce in a comical world.
The Penguin screaming "Come on!", half-terrified, half-ecstatic adds so much to this character IMO. It's like he kinda enjoys this while at the same time being scared shitless. A real villain :D
It’s like a dopamine boost in the midst of an adrenaline fueled panic. Like laughing and then suddenly remembering there is nothing to laugh at and your ass is grass
Saw the movie in a theater that had an excellent sound system. The revving up and turbine spinning sounds were intimidating and scary especially since the car itself was in the dark so you didn’t quite know exactly what was going to come out of the shadows.
This scene is so fucking good. Colin is amazing at this role you can't even tell that it's him. The batmobile startup is executed in such a chilling way that you legit feel the fear setting in on Penguin. Great direction.
I even love the little detail that he stalls the car which shows that he’s still new to just about everything. Even then still one of the coolest startups I’ve ever seen. Gives me chills
So many people complained about that but couldn't even put Into perspective that he just literally finished building it. It's probably not even tuned but so called car guys complain otherwise.
Never expected that a Batmobile Crossover between aircraft and muscle car would work so great. Well, but I even had doubt about Robert Pattinson. Both, Batman and Batmobile were absolutely stunning though
Oh man rewatching this after Penguin makes me love this so much more! Oz is very influenced by men of high power, men of fear, and really cool cars and I almost sew some disgust yet admiration in that shot of him reacting to seeing the batmobile
I have seen many batmobiles in my 43 years of life. None. . . intimidated me more than this one. That thing was a monster. The turbine, the engine, then the afterburner. Holy Christ!
These comments all say the same. This scene was truly a real cinema experience. I worked hard that day and got to see the movie really late. Around that scene I was getting ready to fall asleep. When those engines started to rev I got Goosebumps all over me. Much respect for everyone who captured this scene.
The scene is only good for looking "cool"... why it happens makes no damn sense at all. Why did batman wait for him to get into a car, just to chase him down and cause a big wreck on freeway [which I assume some people died from]??? And then in the following scene Gordon and "The" Batman let him go like nothing happened...
I remember being among those that weren't exactly thrilled with this Batmobile design when it was initially revealed, but man, that intro had me sold immediately.
I love how everyone freezes when the car is revving. It's like when you're camping and everyone is laughing and then a mountain lion's scream comes from somewhere out in the night. Everyone just freezes for a second and you know that mortality has descended onto the campground.

It's like a predator roar intent on making you freeze out of fear. Absolute masterpiece of a scene.
I'm an aircraft mechanic and I restore classic cars as a hobby. That turbine spooling up and the V8 revving combo is the coolest sound ever.

Gave me goosebumps that sound, easily my favourite pet of the movie, just love the sound

Imagine hearing this when your walking around at night 😂
@@doggyjack4758 Dude if I heard that in the night, I’d just stand there like “Welp, my time has come”😂😂
Agreed. 0:43 gets me, too.
my whole theater was shaking when the batmobile was going beast mode. Had goosebumps all over my body. What a great moment
Seeing this in theaters was a nexperience like no other. V8 felt like a V12 with the way it vibrated through my body. Film-making for this movie was generational and definitely set the bar high since it came out.

This scene alone was more thrilling than the last 5 MCU movies.
Nice!
Seriously, considering the MCU turns almost everything into a joke and lighthearted, it’s refreshing to see a superhero movie that shamelessly takes itself seriously
agree 100%
I'm a fckn huge fan of marvel but they haven't been it lately
Nah , the DC is just like at 1:00 ; good premises but bad execution...
Honestly , all the revving up like crazy just to stop without any reason maked me laugh lile crazy ; what a shit 😂
The only person penguin scared of, and I came here to act like this is the scene where the Batman chases the penguin and beats him up for what hes done to Victor
Same brooo
"This was when Penguin was still LIKABLE..."
Don't spoil. People will sit there thinking what he's gonna do to Victor while they're watching The Penguin.
The Batman 2 about to be peak holy shit!
0:33 this scene is pure ecstasy. Did not expect this model to be one of my favorite Batmobiles. Up there with the Tumbler.
This is better than the tumbler, considering Bruce made this car
abradolf lincler - true I’ve honestly never been a fan of Lucius Fox in the movies or comics.. having someone make something for Bruce instead him doing it himself - always didn’t sit right for me.
@@firstlast9846 it’s more realistic to have his stuff made by someone else who has put in the years of research to do so, Bruce being a master at everything is pretty far fetched, what at base he should be is a great detective and expert martial artist and have above average engineering skills but even with all these he would still need help as to not waste his time let’s say designing his grappling hook gun.
@@Justin-tt9cz I agree. Having Batman be a master at everything could make him feel like a Gary Stu. I think him having other people around him that help him behind the scenes is much more interesting.
As cool as I think this Batmobile is and how it looks like a beefed up 70s muscle car, it’s clear that it’s kind of a hodgepodge and primitive. I hope they at least keep this Batmobile as a base and he keeps upgrading it over the course of the trilogy.
@@doodledangernoodle2517 much agreed, I do like it’s look, but I think as Bruce goes older he’s gonna be wanting to cruise in more than just the bare necessities 😂
In the film theater, I was grinning like a madman during this entire scene, the startup sounds were extremely powerful coming trough the film theater sound system and the entire chase is a masterpiece. To the entire cast and crew and production company, YOU ARE LEGENDS!
IT'S NOT JUST A SOUND, IT'S FEAR!
It's RAGE
What I really love about this scene is that when they all turned their attention to the sound. They’ve never heard any vehicle made such a sound in their lifetime; so you could imagine what was going through their minds. That vehicle had the engine sound capacity of a thousand roaring lions in perfect unison. Especially the screech it made before the engine started roaring; almost like the sound of many banshees.
man I saw the batmobile in real life in 5th avenue New York when this movie came out, this scene and this car is a work of art and passion.
I saw this in a HUGE imax theater. When that engine revved… the theater SHOOK. I had goosebumps the entire chase. It was loud and proud. I was not sold on the batmobile at first but the closer and closer the movie came to release, I warmed up to it. This whole scene solidified how BADASS it was.
The Bvs batmobile scene with Batfleck was way better than this
@@AtticTapes14 wrong.
@@2kolbe010 why
@@AtticTapes14 idk i just felt like disagreeing.
I felt exactly the same. The car & the suit did nothing for me either . . . until I saw the film in theaters 😳
The Dark Knight may still hold the #1 rank for the best Batman movie. But this is the greatest Batmobile intro EVER.
But the batmobile its trash
@@weyze2059 Cope
@@weyze2059 reasons?
@@cobdude175 probably he doesnt know how cars work in real life and this car is too ''basic??????'' and not fantastic enough for him
I think that comes to personal preference. To me The Batman is my favorite Batman film ever, followed by The Dark Knight. Both are truly amazing films and we can all agree that whichever we prefer the most is a great choice 👍🏻
I love how the bat mobile is portrayed in this movie. It’s not just a mode of transportation. It’s purely intimidation. Where the bat mobile is usually some sort of tank, this one is sleek and stealthy. So fitting for this Batman
The only time the batmobile was portrayed as a tank was Nolan's Dark Knight trilogy, I'm pretty sure.
@@ARG0Tit was also a tank in the arkham games and in the snyderverse
@@gian-luca6171 Forgot about the Arkham games. Never cared for the Snyder movies
I mean batman's number 1 tool is fear.
It's not stealthy at all. Listen to it.
The way everyone just starts looking around like “what the ever living FUCK is that noise?” Gold!
My favourite scene in the movie, the car being in the dark with just the blue light from the turbine and exhaust, the high pitch screeching of the turbine, the intimidation factor of the whole thing
My favorite scene too!
Pure rage unleashed and heading your way
I’m surprised a lot of people aren’t talking about how Batman is challenging Penguin in this scene. As he revs up the engine you can see Penguin getting increasingly angry at the fact that Batman is flexing on him.
It’s like getting a higher grade than the smartest kid in class that can’t handle being number 2(?)
Also from a narrative standpoint the the roar of the Batmobile is louder ever time the camera focuses on penguin displaying his rage at the fact he’s being outdone.
People may not be talking about it because the Penguin is getting scared, not angry. That's why he runs.
I think the Penguin was more scared than angry.
@@crabbieappleton I guess you can see it either way. I don’t see the penguin abandoning THE MONEY cause he scared but rather because he wants to settle a score with our man Vengeance over here. But again, that’s just my interpretation.
I see more anger in his face then fear in the beginning but it’s subjective
@@TheShifter1001 No, dude it's pretty clear he's afraid. He's frantically driving into on going traffic, shoots at the batmobile like a madman and speeds up each time he sees Batman coming closer. I don't blame him for being afraid either. Batman atp has proven that he's legitimately insane and is not a joke.
@@crabbieappleton scared is a strong word. I would say intimidated, as well as frustrated. Batman is a one man army, and although Penguin has his own army of goons, it seems like Batman always has a new trick up his sleeve. I think that pause he took while seeing the car rev up was him coming to terms that this is something new that he has never dealt with before. He was trying to wrap his mind around the fact that this bozo in a bat costume is becoming an actual problem.
The banshee-like scream of the Batmobile's engine starting up gave me goosebumps while I was in the theater.
Love how the Batmobile sounds like something out of Mad Max
I absolutely love the staredown batman gives as Oswald just mag dumps into his passenger window.
It’s the look on everyone’s face when they are like, “wtf is that” 🤣
And that was our reaction in the theater too!!
Loved it!!
Lmao
I watch this scene several times a week. I just canmot get enough of it
I watch it every night no cap
Been consistently watching daily for about two months now.

Jim Gordon’s face though….he’s like “WHAT IS THAT??” 😂😂
This scene is so much more satisfying after watching the penguin…as much of an a**hole penguin was he still scared of Batman…just awesome
Watching The Penguin I kinda forgot that the Penguin had been through this. People were doubting him even though he had survived The Batman and that makes him winning all the more satisfying. They underestimated him
My God, that first scene with the Batmobile being introduced had me leaping out of my seat. Easily one of the most kick-ass Batmobiles ever, and it'll be a long time before anything beats the Holy-Mother-of-God factor of its introduction.
This is one of the best scenes in cinematic history. The excitement I felt in the cinema was extraordinary
Even I felt intimidated from the start up of the bat mobile while in theaters
This is why Sofia Falcone only had 1 bag in The Penguin
Cooooool
HER SISTER HAS THE OTHER!
I remember watching this in the theater and the sound of the afterburner just filled the room and I was smiling
This is one of the best scenes i've ever seen in an IMAX theater. The whole room shook, the chairs trembled with the sound of this beast of a car. Ash Thorp is GOAT.
the batmobile moving forward a bit was like "i dare you to get in that car and get chased."
They did this scene, among so many others in this film, so amazingly perfect. There’s such a clear understanding, especially of those beginning days, of Batman and this character and what he is in represents. This Batmobile starting up scene is like watching a demon coming out of the ground. A giant demonic wolf that’s eyes are fixated on you as they intensify , with appropriate sound too, and the coming lunge . Hats off to Colin as well to perfectly react to this kind of situation with the correct amount of superstitious projection onto this scene and onto this car. Through Collins eyes you see the correct response of a criminal that is projecting onto the vehicle or a superstitious supernatural fear. It’s just so perfect. Fucking love it
I've watched this scene 100000000000 times and I still have shivers every time I see it
This is by far one of the best home audio scenes to showcase your system. This whole movie was a masterpiece.
probably the first time the batmobile felt like it was a character not a prop in the movie, best introduction to an iconic vehicle, it really felt like it was a sleeping monster that was disturbed from its slumber
Arguably one of the, if not the best Batmobile in the Batman franchise. There's a sense of realism, not too out-of-this-world vehicle. I also like Nolan's Tumbler. Realistic but made by Wayne's company, not by himself. But here comes Reeve's garage-built monster. A believable car that Bruce Wayne can produce in a comical world.
Yeah this Batmobile was different. It was like a hot-rod lashed together from nightmares.
batman 89' batmobile is still my favourite, it looks so aggressive
The Penguin screaming "Come on!", half-terrified, half-ecstatic adds so much to this character IMO. It's like he kinda enjoys this while at the same time being scared shitless.
A real villain :D
It’s like a dopamine boost in the midst of an adrenaline fueled panic. Like laughing and then suddenly remembering there is nothing to laugh at and your ass is grass

Bro this scene in the cinema was something else. It was the first movie I actually watched it at a cinema. Best first experience ever
Saw the movie in a theater that had an excellent sound system. The revving up and turbine spinning sounds were intimidating and scary especially since the car itself was in the dark so you didn’t quite know exactly what was going to come out of the shadows.
This scene is so fucking good. Colin is amazing at this role you can't even tell that it's him. The batmobile startup is executed in such a chilling way that you legit feel the fear setting in on Penguin. Great direction.
Penguin: HEY VENGEANCE
Batmobile: Starts.
Penguin: Sir, I want to reevaluate and leave.
Lame
"Understood. Have a good day."
Experiencing this in theatres was amazing
1:50 ahhh that shifting gear sound and release throttle than
1:00: That was either a failed engine
startup or a, “Start running.”
Man! This car sound in an IMAX room was ABSOLUTE BEAUTY 😋
The second the car turned on, I literally grabbed my brother and started shaking him
Loved this movie. One of the best chase scenes since Dark Knight.
I like the 4 notes they play every time Batman is on to someone.
I love how Pinguine handles the UZI like a garden hose
I even love the little detail that he stalls the car which shows that he’s still new to just about everything. Even then still one of the coolest startups I’ve ever seen. Gives me chills
So many people complained about that but couldn't even put Into perspective that he just literally finished building it. It's probably not even tuned but so called car guys complain otherwise.
i laughed so hard when that happened 😂 all that build-up for that. bruce was probably sitting there like “shit i hope no one saw that” 🤣💀
I think it was more of a "Buh" reaction from batman
That is why penguin quickly ran away after that
@@dollar_mittone4266 I laughed too. 😂 I was like “really?”
I'm glad others noticed that. The criminals instinctively all scrambled around thinking they had a chance in that moment.
the screams of a banshee and the roar of a lion
Never expected that a Batmobile Crossover between aircraft and muscle car would work so great. Well, but I even had doubt about Robert Pattinson. Both, Batman and Batmobile were absolutely stunning though
One things about this Batman, is he loves spectacle. Its amazing.
The feeling of the Batmobile revving up and the *sound* it makes. One of _those_ moments.
Oh man rewatching this after Penguin makes me love this so much more! Oz is very influenced by men of high power, men of fear, and really cool cars and I almost sew some disgust yet admiration in that shot of him reacting to seeing the batmobile
if you never got a chance to see this in theaters shit i feel for you my bro
That's not a car, that's a nazgûl
A freaking Road Runner with a modified V8 Hemi. If this isn't the manliest Batmobile ever made i don't know what it is.
I have seen many batmobiles in my 43 years of life. None. . . intimidated me more than this one. That thing was a monster. The turbine, the engine, then the afterburner. Holy Christ!
0:34 seconds in then BOOM! Wet myself 😅
That was not “one” of the best introductions to the Batmobile. That was THE BEST introductions to the Batmobile.
These comments all say the same. This scene was truly a real cinema experience. I worked hard that day and got to see the movie really late. Around that scene I was getting ready to fall asleep. When those engines started to rev I got Goosebumps all over me. Much respect for everyone who captured this scene.
1:00 Batmobile went “Boo”
This scene alone killed all MCU movies
Slow down there buddy
@@Kee_74he’s mostly right
@chandllerburse737 dc was never alive tho 😭
The scene is only good for looking "cool"... why it happens makes no damn sense at all. Why did batman wait for him to get into a car, just to chase him down and cause a big wreck on freeway [which I assume some people died from]??? And then in the following scene Gordon and "The" Batman let him go like nothing happened...
@@TonyBambino apply logic to a comic book movie
I remember being among those that weren't exactly thrilled with this Batmobile design when it was initially revealed, but man, that intro had me sold immediately.
Love how even Selina was a bit terrified seeing this.
0:35 my angry tea pot be like:
The batmobile blasting the engine gave me the biggest chills in the theatre
I love how everyone freezes when the car is revving. It's like when you're camping and everyone is laughing and then a mountain lion's scream comes from somewhere out in the night. Everyone just freezes for a second and you know that mortality has descended onto the campground.
The part where penguin is just unloading the UzI into the into batmans window and Batman is just staring was so awesome
