This Batman X Bugatti crossover concept vehicle is literally everything I dream about!

Hey Nolan, is it too late to change the Batmobile in the upcoming Batman film to this bad-boy?? Designed by Ferry Passchier, a 2D/3D visualizer from The Netherlands, the Bat Bolide gives Bugatti’s latest supercar a dark-knight-approved makeover! Dressed in matte-black, the Bolide wears its carbon-fiber body like a badge of honor, showcasing the woven pattern! It also liberally uses elements from the cars before it… for instance it comes with the Divo’s headlights (because Bolide’s X-shaped headlights would probably look too much like Suicide Squad’s imagery?), and while the tail-lights shine in an X-shaped orientation, they use the lighting system seen on the La Voiture Noire. Even the exhaust’s shape is borrowed from the Chiron Super Sport, making the Bat Bolide a hybrid beast fit for Gotham’s protector!

What’s instantly striking about the Bat Bolide is the presence of those extended fins that protrude from the back as well as the rear fenders, giving the car a distinct comic-inspired style. Its side-view (which you can see in the images below) makes this even more apparent, almost bordering on a caricature… but then again, Batman is a comic-book character, isn’t he?? In fact, this comic-book appeal is something Passchier embraces, as he has the Animated Series version of the caped crusader standing beside the vehicle. Other noteworthy details include the distinctly wide wheels, the presence of the Batman logo on the front grille (where you’d see Bugatti’s branding), and even on the fuel-cap! The insides are relatively minimal, with a few buttons and switches here and there to trigger missiles, spiked-wheels, and whatnot. Given that crime-fighting can often get sweaty, and the bat-suit isn’t particularly breathable, there’s also a Pine-scented car freshener hanging right below the rear-view mirror! Also, extra points to the designer for even including LEGO Batman in the assets!

This is a fan-made concept and isn’t linked to the Batman or Bugatti brand in any way. Any use of logos and branding in the project is purely representational.

Dark Knight Utility Belt Replica: for 34″ Waist Superheroes Only

I have seen all the Batman movies back to the Tim Burton era, but I don’t ever remember his utility belt being brown. I always remember it being black, but perhaps I am remembering wrong. No matter what color it is this DC Comics official Dark Knight utility belt replica is awesome.

The buckle looks black, but is an antiqued gold. It has eight durable faux leather vinyl pouches with snap closures to hold all your Batgear. It also includes a display mount to show it off. The seatbelt-style buckle on the belt actually works so some buyers could actually wear it. I say some because the belt is made for a size 34 waist with no adjustments. Also, would you wear a $300 belt?

Grab the Dark Knight utility belt replica at ThinkGeek.

Dark Knight Figure Has Two Angry Heads

Fans of Batman will like this very cool and highly articulated Dark Knight action figure from Mezco and One:12 toys. It has a very retro feel too it and Batman has a seriously square jaw. It sort of reminds me of Ron Perlman as the Dark Knight if that ever happened.

The action figure has over 30 points of articulation and comes with two heads. They are both angry looking with one having a bit more frown than the other does. It also comes with multiple hands and fists.

The 6.75″ tall action figure is 1/12th scale and has real fabric clothing that you can’t take off, so don’t expect to see Bruce Wayne underneath. It also comes with a pistol, removable utility belt, grappling hook, and a display case. The square-jawed Batman action figure can be purchased at ThinkGeek for $69.99(USD).

The Dark Knight Posts: USPS Releases Batman Stamps for 75th Anniversary

Batman Postage Stamps

The Dark Knight is everywhere, stopping the bad guys and keeping the peace in the city. After seventy-five years, he’s even helping get your mail delivered since you can find him in action on your envelope. Okay, so I’m not sure if anyone will actually use the stamps to mail out a letter since they’re collectibles, but Bruce Wayne is so awesome, he probably won’t mind being stuck in the mailroom if it’s for the good of mankind.

For Batman’s 75th anniversary, the US Postal Service has released commemorative stamps featuring none other than the Dark Knight. Each sheet of 20 stamps comes with eight different designs, from Batman in action to his signature poses.

Be Gotham’s Reckoning: Voice-Changing Bane Mask

Voice Changing Bane MaskThe voice-changing Bane mask is available online starting at $52.

The trailers for The Dark Knight Rises pitted Batman against Bane, but little did people know that his true enemy was someone much closer, someone whom he never suspected. Bane was a worthwhile opponent and definitely appealing to the masses: strong, well-built, and mysterious, with an interesting back story. He was also sometimes unintelligible when he spoke with that distinct accent of his because of his mask.

Bane claimed to be Gotham’s reckoning, and now you can channel his character (or at least his voice) by donning this Bane mask. Not only does it give you that bad-ass look, but it also comes with an integrated voice changer to make you sound more like Bane.
