Wayne Enterprises is selling the Tumbler, the prototype military vehicle made famous by Batman in Christopher Nolan’s “Dark Knight” movie trilogy. This iteration of the Batmobile will have a limited production run of 10 vehicles, each costing just under $3 million. A select number of wealthy superhero fans will be able to roll around town like the legendary caped crusader. Just please don’t try to fight crime in this thing.
Yes, you read that correctly. Wayne Enterprises is a “real” company. Warner Bros. Discovery partnered with PR firm Relevance International to produce ultra-luxury experiences and products under the banner of fictionaire billionaire Bruce Wayne’s conglomerate. For example, Wayne Enterprises collaborated with Pininfarina to build four one-off Batman-themed versions of the Battista electric hypercar.
The Tumbler is an entirely different breed of machine compared to the Battista. While a jet turbine canonically powers this Batmobile in the movies, the road-going four-wheel-drive vehicle is powered by a 6.2-liter LS3 engine. The entire thing weighs in at 5,511 pounds with a steel tube space frame, sheet metal fiberglass, carbon fiber and kevlar.
These Batmobiles will still have a screen-screen feel with imitation gun turrets, a simulated jet turbine powerplant and a smoke-screen delivery system. Not to forget, there’s also a movie-accurate two-seat interior with a five-point racing harness. While it sounds absurd in-universe for a defense contractor to sell an armored military vehicle to the general public, AM General did produce the Hummer H1.
