The Batman doesn’t come out until next year, and there hasn’t been a trailer yet, but we’ve already seen Robert Pattinson in the Batsuit (which might include a secret) and, as of Wednesday, the new Batmobile. Director Matt Reeves shared three images of Batman’s ride on Twitter, adding the bat and race-car emojis for some much-needed levity, because based on the visual evidence so far, The Batman is going to be dark.

Unlike previous Batmobiles, especially the Tumbler from Christoper Nolan’s trilogy, this one resembles a DIY project, with Batman messing around in the garage to add some Dark Knight tweaks to a sports car that he, a billionaire, happened to have lying around; it also looks like it belongs in a Fast and Furious movie. Is it too late to cast Vin Diesel as Amygdala? You can also see Pattinson in the background, scowling in character.
The reaction on social media has been positive so far:
The Batmobile looks like a hybrid of a standard muscle car and a traditional Batmobile. Similar to how Telltale designed theirs although it was a Sports Car. pic.twitter.com/z3g2Oqa3Ad

Gotta say, a Batmobile that looks less like a military vehicle and more like a badass muscle car is pretty great. https://t.co/lNXUPfD2H9

This has to be a Dodge Challenger, remixed to look like a suped up and gothic Batmobile, and it absolutely works. Modern looking, Batman feeling. https://t.co/hFn4j7TPVw
