I should note that the above picture has not been confirmed as the offical Batmobile for the show, but it is extremely likely to at least appear in the show, due to the fact a previous quote said there would be "batmobiles", plural, thus there is more than one. I can only assume that this is one of those many batmobiles.

The problem with this series is the fact they are approaching it as a merchandise opportunity. They are not hyping the story or many things, but instead they are showing us images of toys. Terrible looking toys, at that.

The worst part about all of this is, it spells the end of the Kevin Conroy era. Out of all the people to portray the Dark Knight he has done it the longest . Of course we will have him doin\' Batman for the Justice League show, but it is really only a minor point, \'cept for certain episodes.  

It\'s an odd time to be a Bat-fan. In the comics, you have Tim Drake stepping down and a new Robin (a female!) taking the mantle. In the cartoons, you have a new show. There is a new movie on the way. And merchandise is at a fever pitch, with DC Direct toys such as \'Dark Knight Returns\' and Yamoto figures.

The Yamoto figures don\'t look too much better then these in my opinion.  Giant bat-a-rangs just aren\'t my thing.

Oh, and that Joker look is hideous.  What\'s the deal with comic books\\tv shows taking this teenage approach to older characters?  You have this Batman story now, Smallville on WB, Teen Titans on cartoon network, and then a slew of comics that do the same thing such as Ultimate Spider-man and others.  Of these, the only compliments I can give at this point is to Ultimate Spider-man since he is written EXTREMELY well, but the rest can\'t even hold a candle to the originals.  Smallville is an abomination, Teen Titans is boring, and this new Batman has a bachelor pad.  Ugh.  Why?  Heck, even Batman Beyond got off the teenage kick very quickly in its run to show that it didn\'t need that whole high school drama portion to make the show stand-up, but rather merely as an infrequent backdrop for certain battles dealing with specific characters such as Mcguinnes\' girlfriend.

I don\'t know, maybe I\'m just too picky.

it still won\'t beat the 60\'s TV show with Adam West.

I mean the utility belt was in its element during those days, what with the likes of the shark repellent spray.

i agree i\'m not too big on all these teenage superhero shows,..totally waters down the theme of the show,.. x-men, teen titans..and i\'m not feeling that joker in a pic a few posts up. :(
knowledge, wisdom & understanding..these are the basic fundamentals of life

if you can\'t amaze them with brilliance, baffle them with bullsh*t....
