[edit] Pictures for the OTHER Bamobile's???
Can someone please put up photo's of Burton's Batmobile from 89 & Returns along with the FOREVER model + B&R model??? THANK YOU!!!!!!!!!—The preceding unsigned comment was added by Invincible Ninja (talk • contribs) .
[edit] The Batman Batmobile
I heartily disagree about the status of the 'The Batman' Batmobile. It in no way resembles any other Batmobile, especially that of Batman Begins.—The preceding unsigned comment was added by 209.23.129.74 (talk • contribs) .
- I agree. If the first car in this series resembles anything it is the version from The New Batman Adventures. However, the second car in the series, the "EXP" version created in the "RPM" episode, resembles the first 1990s animated series car. Cbing01 16:11, 26 August 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Batman Beyond Batmobile?
Why aren't there any reference to the futuristic Batmobile featured in Batman Beyond?—The preceding unsigned comment was added by Fraix (talk • contribs) .
[edit] Transformers Cybertron
"In the cartoon Transformers: Cybertron, the Decepticon leader Megatron looks similar to the Tim Burton version."
Looks much more like the Batmobile from Schumacher's Batman films, particularly as regards the pointed front end.—The preceding unsigned comment was added by 71.71.242.110 (talk • contribs) .
As there's been no response, I'm going to go ahead and change this. As it's something of a subjective matter, feel free to revert my alteration.—The preceding unsigned comment was added by 71.71.242.110 (talk • contribs) .
[edit] Copyvios
I removed a few paragraphs in this edit as they were copied with little changes from either this site, this site or this site (or from the source those sites used). The first of the three sites gives a full citation of the original source of the text as "DC Who's Who In The DC Universe #5, December 1990,Text Mark Waid, Published Monthly By DC Comics Inc.".--Drat (Talk) 09:59, 13 July 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Original research
I removed the following statement: "In reality, however, nuclear reactors do not have the possibility of detonating like a nuclear weapon. Therefore, Penguin may have been speaking figuratively when he made this comment." This is the essence of original research — see the example on that page. As always, if a reliable review states this, or there is commentary in DVD commentary or some such, restore that bit and cite it.--Drat (Talk) 09:59, 13 July 2006 (UTC)
[edit] B:TDKR
I felt I had to add a description of the Dark Knight Returns batmobile, since it is referenced a few times in the article. Noclevername 02:33, 27 December 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Merge page "Batmobile technical specifications" in?
- I think that this page and the equipment of the batmobile page should be merged so more searches pertain to the information retrieved.
- both pages are fine separate but honestly when do you want to know about the batmobile and not it's equipment. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 134.129.203.26 (talk) 01:46, 6 February 2007 (UTC).
- I agree that the batmobile and equipment pages should merge — mainly because the equipment article is also categorised by type of batmobile and it will reduce redundancy of description & images. Mrstonky 01:01, 19 February 2007 (UTC)
- Page Batmobile technical specifications is so big that it would overload page Batmobile if merged in. Leave them separate. Anthony Appleyard (talk) 06:27, 22 March 2008 (UTC)
[edit] Combine Batman and Batman Returns
Seeing as how the Batmobile used in Batman and Batman Returns are essentially the same car, is it really necessary to have two separate pictures? Justin The Claw 04:30, 9 May 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Discussion at Wikipedia talk:Non-free content
See Wikipedia talk:Non-free content#Batmobile for an ongoing discussion of fair-use issues regarding images used in this article. Thanks. Carcharoth 01:35, 18 June 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Merge Nightbird (comics)
merge - the car is an adaption of the Batmobile for the use in Nightwing comics. Due to their close relationship, and the lack of informations separating it from the Batmobile, this article could be merged seemlessly. 66.109.248.114 22:51, 2 October 2007 (UTC)
- merge with "Dick Grayson" - First, this article doesn't appear to be notable, based on a Google search. Second, as User:TMC1982 pointed out, it has nothing to do with the Batmobile, honestly. Third, and probably most important, the entire bottom half of it is a copyvio from the second source on the page. However, Dick Grayson has an "Equipment" section, where the good information in this article would fit quite well. Yvh11a (Talk • Contribs) 01:50, 3 October 2007 (UTC)
- Merged as of 05:05, 5 October 2007 (UTC) by Yvh11a (Talk • Contribs) 05:05, 5 October 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Merge from Equipment of the Batmobile, part 2
- The Equipement article is full of technobabble that seems to originate from two or three Batmobile specific websites. It is written almost entirely as though the various incarnations are real, making no attempt to treat this as a fictional vehicle. Pairadox (talk) 07:06, 17 January 2008 (UTC)
- I retitled the article of Equipment of Batmobile to provide a better framework for the "in-universe" nature of the article, which I have tried to apply to some of the other Bat-vehicle works; however, that still doesn't resolve the source issues (which seem to border on copy-vio) and the fictitious underpinnings. I am open to a merge, or possibly a complete rewrite. -66.109.248.114 (talk) 22:51, 13 March 2008 (UTC).
- On 13/14 March 2008 people moved Equipment of the Batmobile via Fictional equipment of the Batmobile to Batmobile technical specifications. Anthony Appleyard (talk) 06:32, 22 March 2008 (UTC)
[edit] Engine sounds on Batman: The Animated Series version Batmobile
Why on Earth is there a {{fact}} tag on the statement that there was more (if not entire—I've not seen the whole series) use of an internal combustion engine as opposed to a jet engine? What, exactly, is the problem here? Octane [improve me?] 11.03.08 1014 (UTC)
The problem is that even a statement that you believe to be fact must be backed up with a citation from a verifiable source. I agree that the audio effects did sound far more like internal combustion engine noise, but that's still just consensus opinion, not fact. Part of the problem is that the noises made by motors are different to different people's ears, and can also be affected by acoustics (both inside the engine and in a surrounding area). For that matter, some well-tuned race engines emit a high-pitched whistle that is nothing if not jetlike. I've also heard jet engines that sound a lot like internal combustion engines (I grew up near a U.S. Air Force base, and also served on one while in the Navy, and a "hush house" used for tuning jet engines muffles their characteristic sound, making it almost like the dull roar of a 427 ci V-8). P.F. Bruns (talk) 02:45, 5 April 2008 (UTC)
[edit] Copyvio
In this set of edits: [1] [2] [3] the content added was almost entirely copyvio from [4]. As this material and any material derived from it are unsuitable for use on Wikipedia, I have rolled the article back to its last clean version, from May of 2007. Please, if re-adding material, be absolutely sure that it did not cope from [5] and that it was not substantially derived from or expanded from material from that site.
Sorry to have to gut the article like this, but it's an unfortunate consequence of uncaught copyvio. Phil Sandifer (talk) 13:42, 9 April 2008 (UTC)
