Lets see some speculation about what the Batman may be driving in the upcoming movie.
I’m guessing it will be an original design like the ’89 and the Tumbler before it. I’m guessing the most influence will come from the Arkham game…which I kinda like. (Who am I kidding, I like them all except B&R!)
I’m a little worried there won’t be a Batmobile and he’ll just get around in a BatJet.

Back in October it was reported that the new Batman vs. Superman Batmobile will be built by GM. Rumored is it will be modeled after a Cadillac, perhaps even an old 1943 convertible. Batman on Film’s source “Dr. Detroit” recently provided another update about Batman’s new ride:
I was informed that the Batmobile is actually being designed and built in Warren, Michigan at GM’s famed ‘Studio X’ – the auto industry’s equivalent of FortKnox. Or the first rule of FIGHT CLUB…
The Batmobile will then be finished at the GM Advanced Design Studio in North Hollywood by February. I believe this is where the car will be tested and stunt drivers trained before the car is transported back to Detroit for filming.
Personally I’d like to see a hybrid based on the new Cadillac ELR but with a micro turbine up-front as the range extender and a jet-afterburner set-up out the back. They should bring in Ron Patrick as a technical adviser. http://www.ronpatrickstuff.com/ They should use the windshield from the Aerovette concept car from the 70’s. It has a cool “V” shape, perfect for a Batmobile.

That looks like the batmobile from “The Batman” animated series.

Whatever the outside looks like the interior should be modeled after the steampunk/gothic interior of the Pagani Huayra:

If it is the new Batmobile it looks like they borrowed from the 89′, significantly shortened its’ wheelbase and gave it a canopy similar to a Mclaren F1. At least that’s my perspective based on what I see through the tarp.
Do I look like someone with a plan? 0_o

Good eye. The fenders and sides are from the ’89 car but all are highly modified in ways that can not be seen in the pic. I will try to get some shots from the front and rear.
Compared to the ’89 car, wheelbase was reduced from about 141 inches to 108. Length was reduced from about 260 inches to 194, still a bit long but it’s designed to fit a jet/afterburner in the rear, which can be seen though the rear window. (Inspiration from Ron Patrick’s “Jet Beetle”). Width was reduced from 94 inches to about 78 but the cockpit area was widened so that two full-size adults can comfortably sit with good leg and elbow room. It has conventional doors and good visibility though a full-size windscreen, side and rear windows. Its designed to feel and drive like a real sports car, but with twin 50 cals under the hood!
