San Diego Comic-Con 2012 : A Quick Batmobile Preview Before Preview Night

image

Greetings from sunny San Diego, California!  We are at T-minus 2 hours to the convention floor opening up for SDCC 2012 Preview Night.  While we bide our time in hot, sweet anticipation of the press of nerd flesh upon booth babes, the Crisis On Infinite Midlives Temporary San Diego Office thought we’d take a moment to share some photos of one exhibit that’s already up and open to the public: Warner Brothers Batmobile exhibit.

This shrouded sight greeted us from out of our hotel window as we stumbled from our beds this afternoon morning.  Six Batmobiles, ranging from Adam West’s 1955 Lincoln Futura to the brand new camouflage Tumbler from this year’s Dark Knight Rises.  Here’s a closer look at the vehicles the public can currently gawk at, after the jump!

The Tumbler from Batman Begins and The Dark Knight.

Michael Keaton’s Batmobile from the Tim Burton movies, Batman and Batman Returns. I had no idea I missed 1989 so much.

Adam West’s Batmobile!

Joel Schumacher is responsible for this one, 1995’s Batman Forever version. Still pretty cool, though.

Yeah. I took 1995 from behind.

This is the only time a Batmobile has been cooler than Batman. Or George Clooney: 1997’s Batman and Robin car.

Behold: The new camouflage-tastic Tumbler from this summer’s release!

So, there you have it.  Six Batmobiles, one exhibit.  Swing by Collider for some more details on the specs of each of the cars, more pictures, and additional information on the Thursday 7pm panel, at which time a 22 minute documentary on the Batmobile will be screened (in room 6DE) if you happen to be in the neighborhood)!

Now, we’re off to find fish tacos, beer, and hand sanitizer to gird us for battle before we hit the preview floor.
