and in the comic (Dark Knight Returns) he mentions that he had to modify the Batmobile for riots. They even use this model in an episode of the new Batman cartoon. I can't help but think the tumbler Batmobile from batman Begins was influenced in some way by this version (but I can't really be sure of that).

=P

He makes the Batmobile a tank and stomps all the little punk mutants with it, it's really sweet.

He also does this:

and this just looks amazing:

Comm'on, punk! Let's do dis! o-(><o)

But seriously, it's not cool. Batman is best as a minimalist. He takes the least amount of material and applies it with maximum effect. I didn't even like Tim Burton's armored suit and techo-boomerangs, but this is just too much. Since this series is supposed to get back down to Batman's roots, it's not unreasonable for me to think that they would start small. Batman is an urban ninja, and half of the last movie was spent developing just that part of the character, and the second half immediately transformed into a combination of the worst parts of a Burton/Schumacher Batman movie. It was just painful to watch, and now this entire next movie is apparently going to be like that.

Batman doesn't actually need all this crap. I'm not saying that they have to design everything like a 1950's comic book, but they could actually make it a lot cooler by distilling Batman down to his bare essence. He can dodge bullets with a proper flap of his cloak, and karate-chop a gaggle of thugs into dreamland in a matter of seconds. The original bat-grapple was just a wire with a hook on one end, and the Batmobile is supposed to be a jet engine with a bullet-proof chassis on wheels. Instead of wasting screen time and project funds on frivolous junk (the whole scene with the Batmobile existed solely so people didn't go "WTF" when the thing flew across the river that one time, gah) they could actually make a real detective story, but they're doing another Cut-and-Paste Action Movie with a Batman motif.
