Today, this has become one of the most popular and utterly badass Batmobiles to ever appear on the screen. While in assault mode, Batman assumes a horizontal position in the Tumbler - an optimal body position for aggressive maneuvers such as jumps. It also boasts an impressive assault arsenal and is able to detach itself into what is essentially a motorcycle dubbed the Batpod. Hence, they fitted it with a 500-horsepower Chevy 350 V8, which allowed the Tumbler, weighing 5500-ish lbs to reach 60 mph in less than 6 seconds, while being able to handle jumps of up to 30 feet. The production crew endeavored to make the Tumbler fully drivable, and not just a movie prop. It was designed by Nathan Crawley and allegedly cost $250,000 to build. The Tumbler moves away from the traditional Batmobile by assuming a tank-like design boasting impenetrable armor and huge, 44-inch Super Swamper tires.
It was featured in the three Batman movies, in all of them driven by Christian Bale. Dubbed The Tumbler, this Batmobile was one of the many innovations of the critically-acclaimed 2005 Batman Begins, which set the table for the successful future Batman sequels.
