The Batmobile in the film The Dark Knight is a tank-like vehicle modified from a military vehicle called the Tumbler, designed as a bridging vehicle for the military. It appears twice in the movie. The film's production designer described the machine as a cross between a Lamborghini and a tank. This is the largest Batmobile ever, easily straddling a 3-lane highway. Four street-ready cars were constructed, with each vehicle possessing 65 carbon-fiber panels and costing $250,000 to build. Two of the cars were specialized versions. One version was the flap version, which had hydraulics and flaps to detail the close-up shots where the vehicle propelled itself though the air. The other version was the jet version in which an actual jet engine was mounted onto the vehicle, fueled by six propane tanks. The full-sized Batmobiles were driven and filmed on the streets of Chicago.
